I cut wood every couple of days, with one arm. It's a lot of fun, I like throwing the axe around too.

One of my staff was lifting a box. I just happened to be standing near by. I saw him wince and drop the box.
Me- "What happened?"
Him- Stays quiet for a moment.
Me- "You alright? What happened?"
Him- "Nothing." He hesitates...."I bent back my nail."
Me- "You Pussy."

Calling aggressive, asshole-ish behavior "dickish" or makes you a "prick" is just as sexist as calling weak and callow behavior "pussy".Well, Charlie, do you approve of feeling like a big dick?

I'm a lab rat and I do manual labor all day. Here's to pipefitting, and working with an autoclave reactor, or working in a glovebox for an hour with 5 psig pushing against you.

heh, for me, it is not much of a macho thing, it is kinda sad that some things that I usually do normally I can't hardly do it now cause I'm so soft. I guess the job can change you when you are lazy (like me)

Whether it has anything to do with that or not, I just can't seem to to get worked up over any of those terms. I don't go out of my way to use them, but I don't avoid them on purpose either.
Anyway, hope you get a little more used to it soon, Chaz.
...or find a job later that doesn't make you sore, if that's what you'd prefer.

Well I wanted to just chain saw the fuckers at the base and yell timber. NOOOOOOOOooooOOOOO. We had to trim off the limbs first and fell the bare trunks.
I love sawing a 50 ft tree on a 30 foot rickety ladder, let me tell you! It was when he wanted to devise a pulley system to guide the trees down where I said, fuck man, let's just wrap the goddamn rope around the top and base and pull it where we want it to go. Worked just fine.
My father-in-law will spend an entire morning just gearing up his fishing boat and finally leave mid day at some point, just to give you an idea of what I was working with.

I suppose, despite the origins, it is supposed to be a bash on one's masculinity. I don't see a problem with it as an insult to a man, then again I'm one of those wacky types that believes it's silly to think that men and women are absolutely equal and will ever be equal in terms of physical attributes. Hence, why men and women compete against their own genders in sports. Now before people get all crazy and calling me a sexist. Please don't blame me for the way things are. Blame evolution. Da womens are evolutionary molded to make-a da babies and choose-a da mates, and da mens are to compete and fight-a each other for the woman's attention.

Here's my f-in-law's process for putting the air conditioning unit in the window.
1. Measure the air conditioner.
2. Measure the window.
3. Take a 1 hour coffee break.
4. Move the air conditioner right under the window from its original position on the other side of the room from the window.
5. Take a Google break.
6. Together, lift the air conditioner halfway up the wall before realizing it's really heavy. Set it back down.
7. Take a 15 minute break.
8. Spend 2 hours searching for various tools/implements/jacks to make lifting the air conditioning unit easier.
9. Lift the unit into the window.
10. Take another 1 hour coffee break.
11. Remember to plug in the unit.[/QUOTE]
Hehehe..I just slam air conditioners into windows and plug them in. Its worked for me so far.

I was chopping wood with my one arm, and I kept missing and injuring myself in the process. So, I think there was an hour or I went berserk and started to chop wildly. My next door neighbors said it was like seeing a monkey getting ahold of an axe.

I've been trying to become more ambidextrous. So, I'll use one arm to swing and chop and switch when that one gets tired. Cutting wood for me is almost therapeutic, except of course, for this instance today.

That's pretty much how I get shit done. Two years ago I demolished my old deck and built a new one. I pretty much was flying by the seat of my pants the whole time. I had an image of what I wanted in my head, but it drove my father-in-law nuts. For example, I had to dig holes for the support posts. I wasn't sure whether the township's minimum depth was 2 feet or 3 feet etc... So I just went ahead measured up my site, dug 3 foot by 1 foot holes, stuck my 6x6 posts in, leveled them, and filled the entire hole with cement (it was a lot of friggin cement!) in one weekend. Turned out I was right though.
My father-in-law would have double checked ten times with the inspector. Spent an entire week measuring out the site. Dug out perfect holes using a spade and post digger (I used an auger and drilled those shits in like 2 hours). Calculated exactly how much concrete to use.. etc...
My philosophy on manual labor is I like to get it done fast and well.

I just finished our department's BEAST (Brevard Escape And Survival Training) course 3 weeks ago. We learned to do several window bail-outs and did blind maze scenarios.
This my big ass coming out of the 2nd story window doing a bail-out that involved using a loose object (in this case an airpack) as an anchor and you hold it in place until your weight holds it in place as you exit the window.
Things I learned from this class:
A) I can do more than I thought
B) There are some bails that I like and others that I will only do if my like is reeeeally in danger
C) I am way too fucking old to be doing this shit!
My injuries at the end of class-
Sprained left ankle from landing a ladder bail incorrectly
Strained left hamstring (From the picture above)
Dislocated my left hip (same picture) which thankfully immediately reduced itself when I exited the window- still hurts to sit though
Various and sundry bruises- some quite spectacular- especially my triceps after squeezing though a 16x20 inch hole in full gear
tendonitis in my left elbow
torn left bicep.
and ooooohhh my back hurt for a good week.
First week afterward, I felt like an 80 year old arthritic man... week after that I felt much better- like a 60 year old arthritic man

I go up to by families slice of mountain in Oregon and cut down trees, rip out the stumps, and drag them across the lot to a massive burn pile. The burn afterwords is just the poison oak setting in.
