Yep. My Father-in-law worked logging, fishing boats, and construction all his life and is now mid-70's, strong as an ox, very fit, very capable and knows how to do just about anything. Still working construction. Lighter jobs, but still.

He's lost his hearing, but that's genetic; nothing to do with his labor.
