Sad times.
I've got a mate he's 84 now, ex army, fit as a fiddle. Played very high standard rugby, then when he was too old and it hurt too much he concentrated on cricket, aged 43 or so he'd moved to the even more sedate golf. Then at 60 odd his back hurt too much and packed that in.
I asked him if he missed sport, he said he did, but that was then, you can't fight it.
I still dream that I'm playing football and wake up sad.
Anyway fire her up so the petrol lines and diaphragms don't deteriorate.

Well at least prep it for long term storage if you intend on never running her again, but, come on go cut sumthin!

How is Mike making out? He used to have you firing it up. Made me think of him.

The last I talked to him he was doing fine, getting used to his prosthetic leg. I need to give him a call...

Meh, about the same. I could stand to lose a few pounds.

It was what tore my shoulder and bicep.

There are guys I used to play football with who still play, albeit in "senior games" they're salesman or managers.
I cannot risk any of that stuff, I've got too much riding on his particular machine keeping going for a few more years to risk it in weekend warrior stuff.

No kidding.

Good point, Mick. It's really fortunate to remain healthy enough to continue the work. Tree work seems a different walk of life, I mean there are the people that do it, and the ones that don't. I suppose that there is that with a number of professions, like deep sea working divers. Wise or not, it's kind of a special club, and it takes some time to become a full member.

I can appreciate that. I still have my first saddle and rope hanging in the garage.
