@oldhvymec I suggest you sell some of your music equipment, and get at least a dozen of these immediately.

I haven't been sick with anything other than heart attacks behind blood clots in my heart and lung. Stupid me! I wasn't on any type of heart med or BP med or thinner. POW!
I was putting up a fence and a 6x6 post from the local lumber yard was being delivered at the time. The delivery guy lost his grip and bingo, that 60+ lb 10ft 6x6 hit the back of my knee and I buckled (can't imagine why CLIPPING 15 yards)
3 days later I'm having heart attacks non stop for over 40 hours.. Covid has everything in full lock down.
The back of my leg looked like my stay in the 4 x 4ft home away from home in Panama 30+ years ago. It took me a while to learn to shut my mouth, they beat me daily. I wouldn't shut up.. Still won't. I hope that guys lips fell off for beating me.. I forgave him.. Took a while though..
Me and the GOOD Lord got in the NY minute mode a few times over the years, never once have I EVER felt alone.. Buddy I been in some tight spots too.
IF I wouldn't have been taking malaria meds and been thoroughly immunized I would not have made it period.. To many guys in that place were being lost to hepatitis, malaria or amoebic dysentery. They did have the he/she's separated but sexually transmitted diseases were a killer too at the time. The beating were almost worth the segregation from some of the perverts.. Almost.. I never had a problem. Mechanics have VICE grips. I grab it, it comes OFF.. :-)
