Yep, me too, grew up working on chain saws, logging skidders, tractors etc...Started when I was 13, by the time I was 16 I could rebuild a John Deere 4020, but it cost me quite a bit of my hearing, I have "crickets" with me all the time...
Throw in going to see The Rolling Stones, Santana, Three Dog Night, Crosby Stills Nash and Young
and a few others, guess I should just be glad to still be here!!!
