A couple of weeks ago I went trout fishing and it was unseasonably warm in the smokies so I stripped down to my walking shorts and tee shirt; and I promptly fell asleep after enjoying lunch in the most quiet and pleasant surroundings. As I was falling asleep, I could not help but wonder what an average angler would look like if indeed he had to be OSHA approved.
Here are a few examples of what a transition to OSHA approval would look like for the laborious and unsafe task of mowing your lawn. In the first picture (cropped to be decent) you will note a casual perhaps unsafe mower that Iwould have looked like several years ago. The next picture shows what I do to mow today as I have heard of noise abatement, and I have eyesight that I would like to keep no matter how poor it has become. Also I would like to keep a few of my better toes.
The third picture shows what OSHA would prefer me to look like today, complete with a rear view mirror, headlights, heart rate monitor and turn signals just to mention some of the bigger safety
devices. Notice the socks for protection from rocks, gumballs etc.

That is so funny. Government restrictions are getting ridiculous. By the way, you look quite skinny in the top photo.
This was worth it all!!!
Glad I checked out your site!!!
I will try and remember all this get-up when I go to mow.
