I never said I never got hit. I said the what really needs protection is protected.

Obviously there are certain trade offs. I mean, hell, if you want total protection wear a suit of armor or stay home.

I am as protected as I need to be and I have mobility and flexibility to properly perform my mechanics and make calls at home, third, where ever I need to make them.

Sounds about the same as I do. I thought maybe you knew some secret that had escaped me.
