Sucks getting older

[Dozerlarry]

In my 62nd year lovin life hope its not over soon things hurt I medicate they hurt to much I drink special blends,Dozer Larry didnt mention that the 30 k a year miles on the pickup was wandering around Fla trying to figure out where he left his Dozer,1000 hours overtime spent behind the wheel of the same truck Your the best Lawrence.NCT

They've really confused me now, I'm in East Texas for a while.

When I first met the Plottster he darkened my shop stepping into the doorway a intimidating fella let me tell ya kinda a cross between Grizzly Adams/Hoss Cartwright/and Lou Ferrigno but a gentle Giant great guy with story's of accomplishments in the wilds of Northern Ontario that would curl your hair.NCT

OK, is this the "special blends" talking or is this for real?

62 now. Every time I get an Argo with 8axle bearings to do I start the ibuprofen. I'm going to hurt for a week. My buddy I grew up with we're talking the other day and don't think we even knew anybody this old when we were kids. My grandparents were younger than me when I was a kid. I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up but younger is a good answer.

I have coveralls older than U.I also see and know a lot of us Old farts have Corvettes thats kinda funny guess it keeps us flexible in our latter years gettin in and out of them I damn near got rid of mine when we went to self serve gas stations but now it doesn't matter as i need the washroom facility's anyway and a coffee,now I understand why so many Old Guys have a motorhome got your facility's with you at all times and a couch for a napp.LOL NCT

staying as active is possible and a positive attitude about everything will add years. and some peace and quiet time also. my funnest day is a early flight over the shenendoah river in the powered parachute, then a horse ride with ruth thru the woods. finish the day jumping on the trike and go have dinner somwhere. but that mostly happens once spring begins. and lots of mowing !! johnboy

Awesome thread
I am 51, had knee surgery 4 years ago after blowing it out in Afghan. it is fine now thank goodness. I stay as healthy and fit as possible as I work overseas and have to maintain the same health as the military, but it sure does take longer it seems to recover from a long day and the 24-36 hour shift's are no longer, I now try to work smarter and not harder.. But I am still in good enough shape to enjoy, downhill skiing, snow shoeing, snowmobiling, 6 wheeling, boating, tubing, etc.

Glad I am still healthy enough to enjoy things in life.

Taught me something-I thought the purpose of the Corvettes was to make trips to the doctors office faster! The motorhome part is spot-on!

53 here, If I could stop falling off stuff I would be doing a lot better, Tractor, the roof, The rock truck etc. Each fall hurts a bit more than the last, but hopping in the argo and going for a ride makes me forgot about the pains for a bit.

At least with the argo you don't have far to fall!

Very true, but the only time i have come close to falling off the argo is the time it tried to climb a tree 8)
