Brush hog accident(s)

[Hay Dude]

I’ve mowed thousands of acres of land for 30 years with 4 different bush hogs and never had anything dramatic happen!
Worst can remember is a few times hitting rocks and breaking or bending a blade.

I did have a weed wacking accident a few years back where I was saw blading heavy brush and nailed a rock on the downswing. A small piece of shrapnel broke off and went into my neck about 1/2” deep.

I had a local surgeon who did some other work on me remove it. He got a kick out of what happened and sent me home with no charge!

Hummmm....

You sound normal to me.

I have been thinking about getting a pair. They don’t mind wet grass, and sometimes it would be nice to have something so that I can take my boots off for the ride home.

Crocs look clunky like wooden shoes. I use leather moccasins with rubber soles. For something more substantial I wear Merrill Slip on Jungle Moc. Merrill makes some great shoes and boots

Crocs are legit. They have two modes: sport mode where you flip the backstrap up on the front for quick in and out wear. And they also have all-terrain mode where the strap goes behind the heel.

Yeah they had better be, I have been wearing them for years. Not really by choice or because I like them but because of neuropathy in both feet. Crocs are loose enough not to put pressure on the feet, wearing a regular shoe the pain is unbearable to the point of being unable to stand. Cannot even wear socks because of the pressure from the elastic. I have tried anything/everything that looked like it might not bother the feet. Sure do miss the days of slipping on the ole Red Wings and not giving a thought about foot wear.

My Mother told me getting old is not for the weak. She turns 100 yr old this fall.

The way things have been going for me this year I am about ready to send up the white flag... but not yet

After a really hard day, I will strip off my work boots and socks and ride home in flip flops. Feels great.

I used to buy a pair every couple of years. The last time that I priced them though, they were around $100. That's too much money for something which I wear in snow, rain, and all sorts of other poor conditions.

I've been wearing them for at least a decade now, and they're great. I made fun of them for years, and I still don't butter my Crocs, but they're just so damn convenient. Like an all-terrain slipper.

Also, I wear black socks with my black Crocs, and I do it with my head held high.

Now, I do not wear them when operating a chainsaw, or weed whacker, push mower... but they match the tractor quite well.
