I can recall seeing mechanics using compressed air nozzles to blow a cloud of dust from drum brakes when doing brake overhauls.? I've done a few, but, without a compressor, I did a lot of wiping.? As I got older, I got smarter about such materials.? I have no lung problems, probably because I have never smoked.? After watching my Dad suffer from emphysema, I wanted no part of that scene. After years of supervising the operation of large, noisy compressor systems, my biggest problem is hearing loss.? Although I used hearing protection much of the time, the accumulation took its toll.? But, life in old age ain't all bad.
