I'm retired now and so don't have the old injuries to make work any tougher than it should be. Heck just getting old is bad enough.

Your injury is no less debilatating, Chris, and all the injuries we incurr add up in the end. You got that right about work ethic. Good bunch of hard working souls us Tree Guys

Heck of an injury to recover from, Chris. Butch, and so many others alike. And yet you persevere to keep on working. Truly a trait of the Blue Collar Worker. The foundation of what makes this world work. Everybody else would be up shirt-creek if it wasn't for us Blue Collars.

Making it to retirement age is something I never really thought too much about until the last couple of years. And I find it kind of neat to be taking steps towards it now.

Yeah that's it.

Not really cuz my publishing income has netted me more SS in the last couple of years than if I kept working anyway. So I'm just resting on my laurels. So to speak. I heard said you never make up for the gain of waiting anyway.

Reflecting back on it, everyone was in a rush to get done and it really wasn't my job to get involved with unloading the logs. But I felt uncomfortable just standing around and not helping out. So I stepped in to help. And it changed my life. Basically ended my career. But you know I was...

I'm all for the better of it for sure. Still a lot of posts I haven't had time to read, and probably not all of them I will, but I just found out Joey Cornell and an old friend Noah Kowlik died. Both young and able climbers. To go so young makes me wonder about the twists of fate, and life...

I've been out of touch with the House lately. In fact the whole internet thing altogether. Nearly let my bills lapse. Email built up to pages and pages. Scary enough to pull the plug and say F it, I'm following Chip. But me thinks I'm back track and on an even keel, Mate's. Caught up with...

Brian, glad to hear you got a player. Grab a six-pack and invite some friends, there's lots of hours of viewing trees hitting the ground.

Hey, thanks, Frans and everyone... frans, did you get to see OM during his Cali visit?

thank you, Talcott

I love her so much!! Thank you, GIGI p.s. Loved your vid of the St. Martine runway. Wow Thank you

Thanks all. I still can't put pressure on the ball of the foot, where the wound is, but I can hobble around a bit on the heal. but it comes at a cost. it throughs my back out of wack. So I have to limit it. I said good-by to the to the walker and now using crutchs

The good news is......... the wound is healing up! Spirits are high! And I have a loving and caring wife waiting on me hand and foot. And as a Kicker, I have such great and supportive friends! So many of them right here at the Tree House. It doesn't get any beter than that. I'm going to...

Don't know what I would do without her right now. I've been so dependent. As a matter of fact she just changed my bandages, brought my coffee and is now making breakfast. I'm a lucky guy

Really the least I could do for all that's been given. I didn't know until yesterday the money was generated from the Auction of your 038. So many of the threads and posts were going on without my realization. I just read "038 auction" and, since I had no need for one, I left it at that...

Hi, Butch, everyone Terri, brought the mail home this weekend and what do you think I found. Yup, letters and donations from members of the Tree House Forums. To those that sent in donations I packaged up some books and videos for you to enjoy. The new second edition of High Climbers has...

I was talking to Frans about that the other day. Lately he's been grounding and letting the younger members on the crew work aloft. also says the ground work is gruling because he's using a whole different set of muscles. Since being laid up the guy I work for had to cancel a few jobs I was...
