This is a really good post, getting down and dirty with all the truth to the lawn and landscape buisiness that owners deal with. All season busting butt and paying employees constantly and vendors and trying to complete tons of work and more constantly coming in, it feels like a constant rollercoaster I look forward to getting off and taking my 3 month break to see if I made money after all the bills and taxes are paid. I respect all you guys.

Sometimes a day off can be a good thing.

It gets hard because to make a living in this business you literally have to over work your body.
Yeah i went to the doctor friday for my back and he gave me naproxen And that plus muscle relaxers been helping ALOT but that's temporary. I usually take Advil

Thanks for the heads up, I dont take the ibuprofin very often, and dont recomend anyone take chemicals as a regular part of life. I think the gluecomisine that everyone recomends is all natural and I may look into that as a more regular thing to take.

Actually guys I don't know if y'all have heard of Move Free but that stuff really helps as well.
