You're on the right track getting someone to do it. Let them take the risk. You won't be much of a "buddy" if you get a buddy to help.
Yeah because at 60 I am not a muscle man anymore ir still invincible. My best friend just had shoulder surgery 2 months ago and before that a torn bicep repaired from weight lifting so probably not a good idea to count him in like we used to do for each other!
