All,
Thinking about rounding the bend of fifty years got me to wondering what my Dad did at my age...
He ran construction, before bobcats, before the onset of pneumatic nailers; a Lull loader was a godsend. No SPF, no earplugs, what's a dust mask? Probably some things he should have had, but didn't.
I am convinced that my Dad worked way harder than I do or did.
However, in my defense, I was the human backhoe whenever there was some trenching to do in areas that a mechanized hoe wouldn't fit or reach.
To date, that tough goat is still cutting his own wood for heating, albeit not at the pace of previous years. His house is well heated in winter.
We ate well from his efforts to provide.
