Keeping Your Sharp Mind

As we move toward our advancing years, we need to keep ourselves occupied with small projects . . . like this guy.

I know, I saw it right away too . . . No safety glasses or hearing protection.
And I caught something else that is really important: he has no gloves on.
I might be up in age but I am still sharp as a tack.

Reminds me of my father when I was a kid. Never used any safety gear when cutting wood and never started cutting till he had a 12 pack in him. A kick-back ended this routine. He still has the hat with the slot cut in the bill,
and then there is the section of eyebrow he's missing :ohmy:
After that close call he started getting a little more safety minded and saved the 12 pack till after the wood was cut!

I always had fun wood cutting, had more fun after it was all cut and the splittin bagan.
Sometimes I`d develop a handy cap, mighty tough to split wood with a beer in one hand an a cigarette in the other. :rotfl:
I give up on the wood cuttin, sharpened all the chains, cleaned and serviced up that old 6-10 Macculoch and giver to Mine eldest boychild. Told Him, here, You got propity and woods and I do`n need this o`l thing no more, I could`n blowerup in about 30or more years, now it is Yuhr turn.
Well, He`s a still a tryin.

I have been heating with wood for twenty five years, wore out a cheap Homelite saw, cracked the frame on a Stihl ( too small for the job). And love my current Jonsrud. I cut 13-15 cords of red oak a year. That is 4x4x8 foot logging cords, not face cords. Enjoyed it until I got carpal tunnel in both wrists from the vibration and strain. Got that fixed, but at 65 years, it has lost its enjoyment. With propane high like it is right now, it saves me $3,000 a year in heating costs. Never an accident, knock on wood, but I wear gloves that will snag and stop the chain, protective leggings, steel toed boots, safety glasses and ear protectors. Still lost my hearing. I am going to stop doing it as soon as I can figure an economical alternative or sell the place. I sharpen up six chains, and roar through one after another until I am done. The good news is I have the biggest arms and shoulders of any retiree I know, thanks to all that exercise cutting and carrying. Comes in handy carrying a loaded tricked out AR10.

Fortunately guys like this remove themselves fairly quickly from the gene pool once that saw starts.
