I just realized I've been pressure washing for over 15 years now

It hit me when I saw my first work truck's license plate number on an old invoice. Anyone else get surprised by how long they've been in their field?

Man, I see it the other way. I swear I feel every single year. My knees crack when I stand up, and I remember all the weird jobs, like that one house with the moss that just would not quit. The time adds up in your body, not just on paper. It never sneaks up on me.

That moss story reminds me of a house where the whole yard was just one giant mushroom.

Miles has a point about the body keeping score, but I call it a win that the years flew by instead of dragging on. Some people count their aches, I count the skills I picked up along the way.
