Naughty but nice

[White Noise]

I find my only issues are going through both MP3 players and earphones like a dose of salts. I've been buying my players from Amazon direct from the states as it's cheaper. I have a good one I use for in the car and then a cheaper one for on the job. Smahed a few up by swinging into branches and crushing the LCD face. Dropped a brand new one out of my pocket in a Forest and never found that either. Had a couple nearly go through the chipper and my current Zen is full of dust but still keeps going. Even hit one with a saw when I forgot to put the chain brake on and had chain creep. Stopped the saw hitting my leg and the thing still worked. I've even been known to cancel a job because I forgot my MP3. Granted it was hosing it down with freezing rain and I didn't need much encouragment.

 

Just had a hearing test and my hearing is still excellent. I'm able to hear stuff that apparently, if you are over the age of 26 you shouldn't be able to hear, so I must have the volume levels set about right.

 

Excellent so theres hope for me yet . you sound like you got OCD ha ha ha . No music no work

Been doing it years, wouldn't use an iPod or iPhone tho. Cheap MP3 or little FM radio. Used to even use it on take-downs when I had a groundy who could remember and understand hand signals.

Cool I might even try it on a takedown or two

ive climbed with two phones in my pocket for a while now, little bit of sawdust but no damage, handy if you want a quick pic too!

 

If im doing firewood in the yard i have my headphone wire up my shirt and then under my ear defenders, ive got some Bose Triport IE headphones. they are good at blocking noise out as they are, with those in, i have it at medium volume, i can hear music fine over my 660 with its loud exhaust.

 

i wouldnt use it on a takedown though, i like to hear everything.

Why would you want 2phones in yer pocket Rob, bit daft really(wink,wink)

[Taupotreeman]

Rob, on your takedowns try just dropping one ear phone out. I can still hear what I need to hear without putting my backside on the line.

 

As for the singing Nick; who cares what you sound like, you can't hear yourself. I sing at the top of my lungs and don't giver a monkeys what anyone else thinks. This job is all about having fun and enjoying yourself as far as I'm concerned so I'll continue to warble at the cost of everyone elses ear drums.

I just smile as the customers laugh at me in my own little world.

I do sound bad though
