Poured my 500th yard of concrete last week and my knees filed a formal complaint

Didn't really track it at first. Just kept a rough count in my head. But last Thursday I hit 500 yards. That is a lot of mud. My knees started making weird clicking sounds around yard 350. Has anyone else bothered to count how much they have poured over the years?

Read somewhere that's about average for a 15 year career in flatwork.

Did that 350 mark hit different for you too or was it just me? I started keeping track on a scrap of paper in my truck after year three. The grinding and popping gets real around that point, I started wearing knee pads full time after yard 400 and it helped a bit. Also noticed my lower back started chiming in around the same time, which was a whole new problem.
