          Makes a difference, doesn't it?

          Truthfully, I'm a little surprised with you being a runner and all. I have found that people who run or engage in aerobic activity are affected MUCH less than "normal" folk.
          Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

            Still haven't damaged anything with a forklift. I'm much slower than the guys that have been doing it a while, but I think that's fine as long as I don't bring down fully loaded pallet racking. As I get used to how far the forks stick out and the radius of the tail whip I'll speed up.

              It does get easier. Even when I traveled to new buildings, it took me a couple hours to master all the angles in the turning. Now? I'm pretty much a Jedi on those things.

                I've already identified the spots in the yard where you MUST slow down and take a certain angle. Thankfully, I found these spots when I didn't have a load. Those things really hop for being 15,000 lbs.

                  It definitely helps when exerting at altitude (particularly at 7,000+ ASL), but some people are just naturally susceptible to AMS regardless. Generally, doctors will tell you that strenuous activity and/or alcohol in the first 24-48 hours are not advised, since both accelerate dehydration, which is the chief aggravator of the symptoms.

                    I personally never had a problem with high altitude other than bloody noses the first time I was out there. After that? No difference in anything, physically.

                    SOH:

                    When I trained people on the power equipment, I gave them the biggest load/cart to transport. You had maybe 2-3" clearance IF you took the correct angle (and rarely was the biggest load in play). After that? They had no probs. Ever.

                    I am the only one that uses the biggest cart nowadays. The rest have left.

                      Just don't take after this guy and you're good.

                          I knew a guy at the Sears I worked at in Mankato that would crush his pop can with the fork, flip it on to the fork using that same method, then get it into the garbage can by stopping suddenly after going towards it.

                            The only "story" that I know of, because I value my job, is a guy drifted in one of these:

                                Gotcha. The newer models of those....holy hannah. At the offsite, they take off the height and speed governors.
