Default Grampa's on the roof again

I occasionally get a phone call from either family or friends that my wife's 86 yr old grandfather is on the roof. This man is ex sea-bee from WW2 in the south pacific, i show up and he asks who called this time, Then out of consideration for ME, he'll climb down. I always let him know that i'm aware that he's totally capable for the task at hand, but i also tell him that if he falls off, the family will skin me. And as soon as i leave, he's back on the roof inspecting the work.
Another phone call.
I love that man
