6 hours in the woods today... chain saw work and then carrying/dragging the hardwood "pecker poles" to the truck. I love this kind of work and it'll be a real turning point in my life when I can't do it anymore. Been doing this every year since I was in my mid-20's... I'm in my early 50's now... there's a type of strength that builds up over the years with good hard manual work. The trick is to not get hurt. Lower back particularly... as we all know, being old guys and all!
