No, wildcat with fleas!
Never heard of them. Much of my job involves shovels and joysticks, as in the joysticks you control backhoes with.
i had carpal tunnel in both hands...those gloves, no matter the style, do not work.
You said joysticks and hoes in the same sentence.
But Bob, don't end up like some of my friends and end up vying for the title, Richest Man in the Cemetery. I too was once in that foot race chasing the dollar until I finally saw the light. But it is different for everybody and one size doesn't fit all.
Some of the chickens, as they say, are coming home to roost that's for sure. When we're young we think we are invincible. I did some incredibly difficult and dumb things in my youth. Not that I have many regrets, but I can tell you when you get a bit older your body will remind you how stupid you were back when you were invincible. It could be worse and is for a lot of people. For a guy my age I'm in good shape and still regularly outwork men less than half my age. Nevertheless, a small ( by my standards) amount of work around the homestead on my day off yesterday resulted in me waking up with aching elbows, knees, neck and lower back. I'm sure by noon all will be well, then we can start the process all over again for tomorrow. That's the way it goes.
I was going to suggest actual shooting gloves. 5.11 makes a great pair. I have several pairs of these and they work great for pistols, shotguns and carbines.
well, the gloves are not the answer..i was thinking some sort of "wrap material".
My old man gave me a Blackhawk because it hurt him in the same place. Feel free to send it to me, I'll shoot the shite out of it.
Yep, I know what you mean. I had always planned to die in the harness while pulling the plow, but when my wife's health issues became apparent I had to pull the plug. I was already 65 at the time and the furrows I was leaving in my wake were no longer as straight and narrow as the job called for. So it was time to bow out. I'm sure there are a bunch of members here that can relate. So Bob there is no doubt in my mind that you're still a rock and will keep on doing as long as you can keep doing. And that I can really respect.Some of the chickens, as they say, are coming home to roost that's for sure. When we're young we think we are invincible.

If you saw me shuffle out of bed at 4:30 AM, goaded by my cats who want breakfast and a desire for a cup of coffee, you might think I was a 70 year old man. By the time I get to work at 6 and that cup of coffee is gone I am once again superman.
The respect is mutual my friend. You stepped up and did the hard stuff brother, where lesser men would have faltered.
