Wayne, Death is nature's way of telling you to slow down but until or unless
you get THAT memo, just keep on truckin'.

Well said Chuck
I to am 66 and do not plans to slow down, Mother nature has slowed my
tower climbing to a well planed DXpedition and I still use my single old
Klein belt for tower painting .
I just hope when I reach 80 I'll have the drive this guy possess . The
single knot on the rope lanyard did send a chill up and down my spine at
180 plus ft.
But I have to go back to a mentor of mine and repeat his rule #1
There are old tower Climbers
And there are BOLD tower climbers.
BUT there are no OLD BOLD tower climbers
Have fun Chuck while you can.. wee only hear for a VISIT

At 82, I still drive ATVs and UTVs, off road, at racing speeds.. Few
can keep up. I insure that all the lug nuts are tight. I also still
climb towers, not 200' ones, with a single waist belt.
I also grew up on a family cattle ranch, and as a teenager, was
expected to rope and bring down wild cows, to doctor their infected
wounds, by myself out in the open range.
Until you have walked in their moccasins - - - - . Unless you have
had many "hands on" experiences, stay with your books and OSHA
regulations, and keep those rules and postulations to yourself.
Chuck, W7CS
