Watching the original video - some of those guys either got killed or badly injured and the guy on the bike came close to getting killed - I've been burning wood and cutting down trees since the mid 70s and had some close calls early on because of lack of experience - you got to be careful - and GW I hope that you wear hearing protection and a hard hat now - oh and stopped smoking - believe me you will pay when you get old
Nope still don't wear hearing protection doesn't seem to affect me much. I have always had very good hearing above normal and still do.
Well can't stop smoking right now as I just bought 8 cartons. I keep thinking about it, but not much point now as I have been smoking for almost 40 years, can't see it doing much good this late in the game.

As for smoking I’m sure you know there is a great benefit to quitting no matter how long you have smoked
For someone over 50...,You may want to consider what my Dr. once said-noise induced hearing loss can not be reversed.Quote:

Yeh just talked last week to an old partner from the job, same thing he could hardly talk on the phone and was complaining about now not being able to walk 15 feet at one time. I feel bad for him and have tried to help him over the years haying an doing yard clean up, but 45 years of smoking and hitting the booze takes its toll. He is the same age as me but I suspect he may not be around for much longer.Quote:

Even my old man who was a Liberal, believes that anyone who would vote for Trudeau is truly lacking in intelligence.
Even on the world stage Trudeau is thought of as a real Joke.
