I have a lot of trees in my front yard, mainly Oaks and Blackjacks. I wanted to take several out, so my son and I started at 9:30 this morning and finished at about 7:00 tonight. Took out 7 that were all between 25-30 feet. I have run the saw so long today that my arms keep cramping and I can't straighten them and my back is feeling it as well! I have a bad feeling about tomorrow morning!

I used to work on a tree truck before they had such large choppers and loaders with grapples.
It is about a miserable existence as there js.
Made me want to get a college education and take an inside job.
Ibuprofen.
Getting????
Does me the same way. but I do what I have to do and pay the price the next couple of days. Getting old is not for sissys!
Thank goodness the BBC doctors can assist with the pain relief...
You up and out of bed yet? How you feeling today? Do you feel like you went 10 rounds with Mike Tyson?
Pain is only temporary, look at the accomplishment at the end of the day.
Then say ouch
I feel your pain, recently my neighbor and I replaced the good neighbor fence between our properties. My neighbor is a young guy, in his late thirties, that's young to me, I'm 64. I have always been able to put in a good days work but after three days of tearing out the old fence and putting up the new one I was a bundle of sore muscles and could hardly get out of bed. Thank goodness for gas augers and power nail guns or it probably would have been the end of me.

Just wait.
Up and sore! My son is 23, I am 49. I held my own but he outworked me. I have a bloody, fat swollen lip too where a dang branch hit me in the face!

49 and your sore from cutting down 7 trees? Retirement will be tough.
Agree 100% LOL
Hell I got socks that are 50 years old ! Jack Daniels in moderate amount cures most every ailment

Now that is a whole lot of work in a short time I'd say the fact you two got all that done in that amount of time is an indication of your "Degree Of Bad Assery" and the after effects of the days work are not a sign of old age....
Shoot the toughest young athletes in the world are sore and tired after they take on an opponent or play a rigorous game...Man you took on 210 feet of standing trees and are still standing plus you took a shot in the face when one fought back.
Hope these facts make you feel better now take a few days off and revel in your success
