down but not out

[WindNWing]

Fear of heights?

I have a backup TV tower that is 30 ‘ tall. I can climb to the top but there’s no way to do any work when I get there because I have this overwhelming urge to hang on with both hands... :beg:

On the other hand I have flown a hang glider from the top of Lookout Mountain (1300' down to the Landing zone) go figure. :headscratch:

gary where in ohio are you there are lots of members in ohio and indiana we will all have to meet

Joe, I live in Jackson about 100 miles East of Cincinnati on SR 32. A get together sounds good to me. Whatever happens, I want to ride over sometime and see that dog house, an amazing project for one man to take on.

i guess we forgot to tell you " stoop don't bend ", " lift with your legs not your back ". heal correctly and get well soon my friend

 

[slabghost]

oh2: :rant: There! I told you. Probably best if you don't lift anything below your waist level for a while. Been there done that. Not fun.

[sledge]

Been there and done that Joe.... and it is so hard to change how you do things that you have done all your life. But.... sometimes you just have to. . . . hope your better soon , take it easy my friend. :music:

Hey Joe really sorry to hear about your setback. I’ve been away from the forum for a while, take it easy and will be praying for you.

Speaking of heights, I love them, the higher the better. Did some skydiving many years ago but wife said it was skydiving or her, and of course she won.

As a mechanic I have had a couple bouts with back pain and issues and man I know how much it hurts. Please take care of yourself.
