A few years back I warned co-workers about a (IIRC 30W power consumption) DC fan I was using by demonstrating what happens if you stick your fingers into it. I had to clear up the blood. I remember thinking, maybe I'm wrong, maybe the blades will stop and I want to find out… just so pointless!

It could be that I've done risky things and it has changed my attitude to risk, though nothing involving height specifically.

I think the realisation that I've reached an age and level of frailness where I can fall off my own feet at ground level tempers my ambitions. I remember the chap opposite us climbing around on ladders well into his 70s and I feel hopeless by comparison.

Years ago I more or less got over my problems with ladders and heights by combining my foolhardy youthful spirit, need to put aerials up and a *very* rotten wooden extension ladder. At one point I was happy with all the ladder below me, working with both hands. Bought a nice ladder and tried climbing it last year, back to being a frozen statue at the top and backing down sloooowly. *sigh*

I have lived here nearly 20 years and still haven't asked *myself* if I can drill holes to let the feedlines pass through the walls, so I have no aerials outside. When I lived with my parents I had a big scaffold pole with a bunch of yagis on a rotator!
