Dan,

I'm glad you brought that Treeworkers Lung thing up, it has been on my mind too, lately. It is not such a far flung conclusion that people like arborists, carpenters, stone masons, farmers, any one who has been in contact with contamints in the air their whole working lives, more than likely have lungs full of these fine dust particles.

Now that I'm older, it makes you think about the amount of fine sawdust particles, not to mention the dust from chippers and stump grinders that have gotten into the lungs and stayed there because of repeated and constant exposure to the same situation day in and day out.

I consider myself fit for my age, but find I have to take more frequent "breather " breaks to get a job done if it is strenious on the lungs. I can't help but think my lungs have got more than their share of tree dust in them, causing me to slow down a little.

tree climbing does squat for cardio once you learn to climb efficently.

from jan to july i was training hard for a climbing trip to peru. after working all day i work out and train on an elliptical machine for an hour at a pop every other day.

i stopped training after the trip and since the end of july i put on 20lbs. i can't wait til i finish renovating this dam house so i could start training again.

A muscle group needs six days to recover. And I know a lot of skinny guys that are really soft and fat. Nick, do you have the bicep vein? If so, I believe you about being muscular/skinny.
I'm not overly vascular, thankfully. But you can see veins on all sides of my biceps, just not gross looking.
 
Nick,
I've posted picks of my muscles, MB posted pics of his muscles......We're all from Missouri here.....You'll have to "show us" or me.....something like that. Have your brother snap a pic of those pythons. You did get mice.......
