How old are you?

[Billhook]

I can't imagine many men nowadays capable of moving sacks like that. I've worked with body building types who brag about what they can lift and carry but they're pretty useless outside of a gym. I remember my old man who was brought up on heavy farm work...5' 8"..no great physique but arms and a back that were wirey and like hardened steel.

It was put on your back, you could not lift it onto your back.

 

I forgot to add to the other theme, when I was but a lad, about being asked to go to the workshop to fetch a tub of elbow grease...........

:thumbup1:which is why every farm had a wind up sack barrow.

Hi all....im 25 and just starting out at the firewood game!! Been doing kindling for about 5 years and have purchased a processor this year to make a go of it! Recently graduated out of university with a 2:1 in business and retail so Il always have that to fall back on if I dont make it with my own business

[felixthelogchopper]

44 in less than a fortnight. How the hell did that happen?

My old Grandad used to say your as old as the woman you feel. He was 97 and his girlfriend was 80 so that's like a 40 year old going out with a 23 year old. Randy old bugger.

53 and feeling fitter than ever. Did a 4 hour mow last week and realised that I wouldn't have walked for that long when I was 40.
