I used to clean the gutters of our two-story house. I felt like a real do-it-yourself guy as I gingerly climbed to the top of a 25-foot ladder that bounced and flexed under my weight.
I gave that up when I turned 50 and I haven't ever regretted not falling.
So now I have to look around a bit harder to receive that surge of joyous self-reliance I used to get from the gutters.
Lucky for me each year I can replace the furnace filter, a process that involves a step ladder of a modest height. I finish the job in about 5 minutes and then run to the computer and write a blog post so as to share the experience with the internet.
All is good, our air is filtered, the furnace continues to work properly.
Stoke!
