0179 – Yard Work Safety
[display_podcast]
There is a pleasant side to summer time like we talked about yesterday. Â Spending time with family at the pool, the woods, the range, and then there is the work. Â Yard work. Â It can be rewarding just like the fun times, but just like the fun times, we have to make sure we are safe. Â Yes, carry your gun while you are mowing the lawn, but that isn’t really what I am talking about. Â Just like with the pool, however, we have to consider carefully how to keep ourselves safe from the mundane threats too.
