Interesting facts that I didn't know.  :thumbup:

Here's an interesting (too me) fact about my hand and finger strength from my younger years. As a young boy, starting at about 7-8 years old, I was tasked with helping with milking our five cows each morning and this was done by hand because we didn't have the milking machines that larger commercial farms used.
So, the interesting trivia tidbit about my hands during those young years? By the age of about 13-14 years old I could crush a fully grown ripe apple with one hand.
These days I'm not able to do that of course, maybe a grape though.  laughing7
