Yeah I would think so. Running that damn chop saw inside is fucking murder on the ear drum.

The damn demo saw ..... cutting concrete inside tanks was especially hard on mine, along with the jackhammering.
Mine was in engine rooms of ships (think two 30' long turbo'd V16 train engines screaming at full power).

The old timers would say "Don't worry about the noise, you get used to it". :roll:

That's how mine started...in the evening on occasion. I remember saying thank God this isn't all the time, and before I knew it, it was. Now mine is the worst in the morning, probably because I've had the hearing aids off.

Yes, living as stress free of a life as I can is super important to me now!! I'm prescribed xanax now too, and that really helps...Just having it helps! I take a tiny dose and not every day....and rarely during the day.

A LOT of people suffer from tinnitus, to varying degrees.

How long have you had it?
12 years.

12 years.. To any younger ears that might read this. Wear ear and eye protection when running anything louder that a blender... You get one set of each and that's it! Ps. Sunscreen and floss too!

Well the snow is melting and the daughter goes to daycare so i got shit to do all day. Yesterday i got all my pepper seeds started. Today i was bored as hell so i went ahead and did oil changes on the mowers. Fired up all the blowers and trimmers and made sure everything was running fine. By that time it was still only noon so i went to the car wash, got some groceries and blew some money at the army surplus store. I usually love winter but im over it this year. Im out of shit to do.

Congrats & lucky you - it looks like Momma and I will have to wait at least a month +! >:(
It is hard to understand how this roll out is being administered.

I do believe everyone who wants to be vaccinated should be and understand that supply and demand should dictate high risk candidates be
primary recipients.

With that said, I know of folks that do not fit ANY of the high risk categories who have had a second injection. :|

I find it hard to believe as well. How many celebrities or people in politics whom do not fit into the requirements got head of the line privileges?

Imma throw the flag!

@manfredo just letting you know so if you find yourself in a bind one day plowing.

The temp fix works great. And with a better way to attach to the plow it would be even better. I got the idea because they sell something similar so some googling later this is what I found.

I used a rachet strap as a donor strap. The hook sucked because it fell off. But that only lasted for a bit......my glove hit the "in" on accident when I was backing up and riped the webbing.......but I tied it on to the loop on the plow and didn't have any other problems with the hook falling off.

1. Pull off all your cable

2. Put a piece of duct tape on the drum through your fairlead and let the tape hang out from the fairlead like a tongue.

3. Lay the webbing on the tape and power in the winch.

Conclusion....it works. Better webbing and a shackle would be the way to do it. I'm definitely buying one or making something for next season.
