Sheesh; this thread is reading like the nightly news’s traffic report!! Glad you’re okay Jim and Brian.
John, you mentioned slowing down and helping an old fellow who is winding down. (How far from Northern Delaware are you out there in Maryland?) I climb one to two days a week now at 64 years old. Mostly of my choosing; mostly for friends, neighbors, and relatives (in that order 😂). Actually felt great to sell the chipper, F450 chip truck, and down-size to a Ford Ranger with a 5x8 dump trailer. If I need a bucket truck, or an F800, and a Conehead chipper I just call one of my friends still in the race. The one friend ended up in the hospital getting a new liver and kidneys. I helped his wife keep their crew working gratis and now his attitude is ‘My equipment is your equipment’. That was his stumper I had last week.
Cory, - I struggle with days of low/no energy and periods where I am almost manic and getting tons done. I struggle with staying away from the sugar, too. Interestingly it seems my arthritis gets worse on those sugar jags.
Yesterday I got the grass cut and put up and painted a fence section at the rear of the shop to ‘hide’ my extra mowers and scaffolding from the view of the neighbors. Today I am continuing on wiring the shop. I find it hard to stay on top of things these days. My ‘To-Do’ list keeps growing!! See my attached list; haven’t even checked off the ones I have completed...
