I discover an odd thing happening to me now and was wondering if anyone else gets this feeling. Basically its a feeling of "doom" when I'm out cutting and the set up might be difficult. What did not used to bother me a lick now rears its ugly head and makes me hesitate. Its like i used up all my lucky numbers as a professional having escaped several life threatening situations and now my end number is coming up. I would not dream of doing the things now I did then. Maybe age has something to do with it but it still makes me a little crazy.
I have 2 125-140 ft oaks along the front of my property that lean towards the power lines ,and even tho many years ago I would have scampered up and dropped them now I will get my son up there and watch from the ground , It's what happens when you get older tree climbing is for the young guys not me at 260 lbs and tired !
