Good morning. We are having a couple of hours reprisal from the rain. The ever hungry wood burners need more food and if I don't hang around I should be able to swing the splitting maul long enough in the dry to fill a couple of wheelbarrows. I have a hydraulic splitter that fits on the 3-point, but for little loads it takes too long. To be honest I enjoy swinging an axe, maybe I should sell the hydraulic. With hindsight, an electric like your 5 tonner Mostly may have been a better choice for me too. Rick, how are you getting on with your splitter, now you have it on it's own stand ?
This world is proving to be a different place since I got the hearing aids and not just with voices. I notice my clothes rustling with each step, a teaspoon colliding with the side of a cup made me jump and yesterday the rain was pounding on the car roof, yet the wipers only needed to run at a leisurely pace to keep the windscreen clear.
The audiologist warned me that it would take some getting used to. The "normal" setting does not yet amplify the missing frequencies back up to ordinary levels of hearing, she set them all lower to give me chance to gradually adjust to what has been missing for quite a few years. I go back in a couple of weeks time to get tweaked up to the next level. Even with this first level of adjustment, radio and tv are already much clearer with both male and female voices. The weird thing is that my wife's voice sounds no different to before. Either the frequency components that make up her voice just happen to be the ones that didn't require adjustment, or my brain gives her speech some additional processing :confused2:
Don, I will report back in a day or two once I have checked out more details on the hardware and the phone app.
