Hi Chris and all

30 years working in hydro electric plants and high voltage  
switchyards, followed up with 5 years working within a few feet of  
airport runways and taxiways followed by 10 years of my wife saying  
that the TV is too loud are my reasons for having hearing aids.  Even  
she has never blamed my bees.  Maybe its my age
