    I used plastic cottage-cheese containers, slit down the side, and held in place by four or five of Mom’s highest-quality, steel-spring loaded wooden clothespins. On steel-spoked 27-inchers, I had the epitome of a imaginative Harley Hawg…well, until I predictively lost a cylinder/jug or two, at around 10-to-15 mph, down-hill plus a tail-wind! Which just meant back to the trash can, and a quick-raid of the clothespin bag…☺

    Forty-year routine? Hmm, must be a young-plugger…!☺

    Brings back hearing the version of “The Winner”, as sang(?)by Bobby Bare! (Wonder which one of these-parties is “Tiger-Man McCoo”?)☺

    Nahh, cut ‘im a little-slack: He used a “C”, instead of a “G” at least. Could’ve been worse.

    And, although it’s just a nasty-ol’ codfish? An Alaskan Pol-lack ain’t all that cheap, either anymore, and, NO, it won’t “go”, either…??

    Maybe a Registered Nurse Practitioner, at first? Indeed, EMT-is not for the weak of stomach, ranks right up there with a Navy-Corpsman’s-duty, keeping us Marines of our pasts humbled more than once, LOL!

    Never knew that! That would-explain a lot of the issue, indeed!

    But, I do know for a fact: My-right eardrum is perforated, and the eustachian-tube occasionally does drain “ear-spit” outta that ear—-but very seldom causes inflammation issues, and I can still hear when it opens again.

    But kinda like a cracked-speaker cone, so, yeah somethin’ a fella-just gotta live with since MY-body style & brand is discontinued, no replacement parts unless y’ make your own, lol!!!

    Didn’t he have a dog named Sea-Biscuit, on the original-boxes, as well?

    “…but (I’m) you’re younger than that, now…” ☺!

    Agree, but it’s too-late for me, I reckon. I decided to try the foam-plugs this year, but ironically the tinnitus was deafening to the point of vertigo with them in! Made it even more-dangerous for me physically to try & operate the tractor in tight-spots, so for my own-sake, out they came! Once I settled in again, I was fine when I now could hear the (engine) governor open under-load.

    But, since I can still hear myself swear out loud when I romp into a hidden-chuckhole? I reckon it’s better than the alternative…???

    Yeah, kinda like a tough, old sardine flavor, just a bit after rigor-mortis. I guess the tomato-paste “seasoning” was supposed to enhance the…flavor? Just had a small-tin that my Dad dared me to eat. I wasn’t man-’nuff at the time, I stopped at two-tentacles, those suckers were literally too-much for me to swallow, even with closed-eyes… :)
