Second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day, week by week, month by month and year by year, some part of our bodies degenerates.

Well today, I put mine to the test. I spent most of today on the end of a chainsaw. I thought I was doing the right thing by drinking cordial, having a break then lunch and back into it and more cordial.

Well about 20k's from home, my bod started to cramp up. Nearly stopped the truck for a stretch. Man, I thought I was gunna die! When I arrived home, I got straight into a big glass of Gatorade, then the hot shower to stop the cramping, then another Gatorade.

A quick trip to the John told me I was well and truly dehydrated.

Moral of the story.....Sometimes your bod won't hold up to what your brain wants you to do.
I just hope I can move tomorrow at work. lol

Take care out there.

Well mate i know how you feel i went out and bought a smaller saw,but it still hurts at the end of the day
next morning im a bit stiff but come good through the day till next time when i mow the lawns

I know how you feel. Usually when I go Camping one of the first things I do is to go and get a load of wood. It was good fun and good exercise but now I have to take it very easy as the body is not what it used to be. I am 69 years old so I should expect to be slowing down but I always overdo it by trying to do what I did 10 years ago. Frustrating but there are other benefits of being old.

I see where u may have gone wrong Rossco, you mention a word cordial, what is that???? When out cutting wood with my trusty Husky, I always drink Jim Beam and Coke, That always seems to tell my brain that my body is ok :)

If I drank JB and used a chainsaw, you would see the best ice sculpture you could ever imagine. lol

Edit: I do not drink alcohol before or during the operation of any type of machinery or drive any type of vehicle... just had to clarify that point.
