Meanwhile the old man is still plugging away out on the cranes every day. Like they said, if you don't use it you lose it!
Sid..get into some sort of exercise problem. I'll confess to being beat after pruning a pickup load of overgrown juniper..about 4 hours. On the wrong end of loppers and chain saw. But I'm 73, diabetic, have a bum ticker. Jeeze kid, start moving...seriously!
