It is an old maxim, but it is true. You can tell how good a

by the quality of his joints.


Mine creak. At least my knees do.


Mine probably do too, except I can't hear 'em. :-)


You guys have it easy.
Mine snap, crackle, and pop.


There are days when my right knee feels like it has razor blade
fragments in it.
The other morning, I couldn't lower my right arm after I combed my
hair...not without cringeworthy/tear-inducing bolts of blue neon pain.
Then a bit of a crunch and all is well for weeks and weeks. It all
depends on how I slept on it.
I blame the years of gruelling dirt-bike riding...and the fact that
the shoulder and knee are both on the same side, makes me think it
could have been that same tree that totalled my Husqvarna.
