I saw the back end of 69 last year, I still work about 12 to 16 hours a day on my farm.
Everything from felling, bucking, splitting, trees for firewood, to plowing and planting my fields, and pruning my orchard.
I can still put a 7.62 or 308 round in the black at 300 to 500 meters.
There’s on old saying that goes something like “don’t f#ck with an old man, he’s to tired to run away and to sore to take a beating, so HE WILL JUST KILL YA”.
Remember age, guile, and experience will trump youth and enthusiasm every time.
I know another farmer on here. Farmer Dean. We’re pals.
Should have died 15 times over last year from surgery gone bad. He’s home now and recovering well.
Even the most in shape white collar guy could not have survived what he did.
You guys are freaks of nature.
In a good way :)
