Using a rake for 12-14 hour shifts, 5-6 days a week in the summer sun? Get real, my dude.

What a creative way to tell me you've never worked a day of physical labor in your life, without telling me you've never works a day of physical labor in your life. Raking leaves by hand all day every day would absolutely destroy your shoulders and forearms.

And I hope I never will. And having to work those kinds of hours to make a living is the really fucked up part of your story.

I don't work labor (edit: anymore) but that's the reality of the world we live in, my dude. Landscaping sucks, and doing it without a leaf blower would suck even more.
