Two Sundays ago I hiked 23 miles with the scouts. We hiked 8 hours. I was feeling pretty proud of my self until I had to get out of bed Monday morning. I prolly felt like Bob did after his little tumble in the dark but I complained alot more. By Wednesday I was feeling OK but I wasn't ready to stop complaining just yet. That's cause I wanna fit in with all you oooold guys.
I got my first chainsaw for Christmas 1973 and started cutting for pay in January 1974 and haven't looked back. Much. Despite a few hours in the ER in 1982. You guys, all of you, have enriched my life. Thanks. Now get back to work. Phhhttttt!
BTW I'm teaching my son how to run a saw now.

Yes, and we get to verbally abuse you for it.
Like those young hooktenders, who go leaping gracefully ahead in the brush, then stop and have a smoke, and then when I finally show up bruised and battered, make encouraging statements like, "I like it when I get to take you along to pick out tailholds, I get to rest."Hah! Just wait!
I wonder if they have any fleece with sparkly things in it? We are also lookiing for pink hickory shirt fabric.

I'm pretty sure i'm older than Gary, but not older than Bob...and I have drank a whole lot of beer....during this beer drinking there may have been some tall tales about running a saw...does any of this count???

Yup...none of those kids have heard the sound of their own bones breaking...yet. Getting there fast isn't nearly as good as getting there every time.
And I'm ignorning the other part of your post with the fru-fru fabrics and glitter and pink hickory shirts and such. At the next GTG you'll probably glow in the dark.
And why can't we just run a Cat up in those corners the yarder can't hit? It won't tear the ground up. Well, not too much.

Ok, let me try my hand at this "pissing & moaning" stuff.
I have a constant ringing in my ears, can't hear sh!t.
My neck is stiff from being fractured in 1990.
My left knee is usually pretty sore from being shattered in 2001.
But what hurt the most was the realization that I was the oldest guy on the falling crew in 2000.
I can usually convince myself that I'm still in my 20's untill about 1:00, then I start fading fast.
How am I doing? This is kinda fun.

I am a young punk and i admit it. i also thoroughly admire you elders (ha ha) for your knowledge and gracefulness in working. Watching some of the old timber cutters is like watching a person dance with a chainsaw, they aren't even working buy they are getting alot done.
I used to go full steam ahead and just power my way through everything...i got my butt kicked and was wore out every day.
Now that ive been doing it longer and learned a few tricks, ive learned that i can slow down, see things cominge before they happen and get more done throughout the day and not be as tired.
The sound of your bones breaking is never a good one.

I have seen some of those "elders" in the woods. They can't get around very well in their walkers. Hey Gologit do you have all-terrain wheels on yours?
