You know Davy, with all the great work you do and all the heavy lifting, I would have thought you were in the construction field or something like that! Hell you look at your picture and you have some good size guns there mate! LOL
I am honored that you fallowed your dreams and did what you enjoy, not to many of us can say that, including me!
Hi Mike, I come from a long line of manual workers and military ,worked in the woods with ma old man for years, suppose what you guys call a lumberjack in the states,on the work side farming/woodcutting/mining etc., ma old man was a WW2 paratrooper and my furthest back great (x?) grandfather was a soldier who fought in the Napoleonic and Indian wars back in the day. Also have another way back great grandpa who was a soldier back in the 1600s ,so maybe I get my mentality /physical stuff from that gene-pool.However, I'm useless with heights get the shakes up a ladder and never been in the military either, though I was an undertaker for three years back in the 80s and handled death in all its ugly forms and dealt with it OK,so maybe theres a bit of what would be required on a battlefield in me but happy to say av never needed to put that to the test nor have any wish too. Heres a wee ironic story though, I had two great uncles on my mother's side who fought at the battle of the Somme in WW1,both were wounded but returned home and lived to a very old age, however another brother who was a railwayman remained at home during the war, one night he dismounted from his locomotive at a signal cabin and was hit and killed by a London bound train.... I was about to say its safer playin trains than bein a soldier...then I remembered him ..lol
