I'm > 60 and if you can find me somewhere to sit and watch while I catch my breath you can beat the young whippersnapper about the upper body with my zimmer frame.

( TBH I still split wood by hand and walk long trails, etc. My father (born 1935) is showing signs of age now )



> I still split wood by hand

That's incredible. Everyone I know is using an axe these days.


We ancients have honed our strength through decades of punching sand.

Any similarity to tech sector corporate politics is purely coincidental.


Time marches on, the generation younger than yourself and your axe wielding anachronisms are using hydraulic and pnuematic rams now .. with solar charged battery operated pumps.

Come, come and join the elders . . .
