How many of us could keep up with that man to day , not me , hat off to him.

I would love to see his face with a 880 in his hand.

Most Saturdays I do tree work with a older guy (87 years old) and he still keeps going and going. I NEVER got on with my old man so time working and talking with him is priceless.

So what.

 

You cant comfortably swing an axe or use a cross cut saw low down on the stump also the lower stump would be a lot harder to cut due to the grain.
