Well, age is the name of the game.

However, I do remember climbing around in the trees at 10 o'clock at night 
restringing wire antennas that were brought down by a May snowstorm that 
dropped 14 inches of wet snow on us 18 years ago.  I was nuts in those days!

My sister was having kittens to think that I was 30 feet up in a tree at 
that hour of the night.  But I got the antennas back up and got the station 
back on the air!
