Snap,Crackle,Pop for the win! On the other hand, I have absolutely NO sense of direction. If the sun isn't out, don't ask me. Because I WILL BE WRONG. Having said that, I have no problem at all memorizing a map and giving you good directions to places. I just can't tell you which way to turn if I'm in the car without a map and you want to drive north toward somewhere and there is no sun for me to orient on. Needless to say, I'm the reason you see those little piles of stones on hiking trails... I'm hiking pile to pile, or landmark to landmark, because I sure don't know which direction I'm traveling in. This alternately amuses and exasperates Mr.C. No one is ever surprised when I get lost...

DWARREN123 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Getting older and stuff doesn't work like it use to. I have spent most of my life outdoors and worked hard all my life and having to slow down or stop doing some things is a little embarrassing to me. At least I have been waking up every morning so far. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw, for those whose back has popped. Your problem and solution could be the same as mine. Stretched Achilles. Taken care of with arch supports since 1986. No arch support, low back pops. Wear arch supports, no problem. And I'm nowhere near flat-footed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I was about 35. I was on a job site, in my Jeep, eating lunch. I sneezed and felt a pop in my side and wicked pain. I thought I had been shot. A real possibility in that neighborhood. Doc said lots of people break ribs from a sneeze. Usually sitting. If everything is just right you exhale on the sneeze and immediately inhale. The rib can’t flex that fast and cracks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt Longmire Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I did get out there and cut a cord of firewood today. Drove the F250 through the brush on a lake lot I own and bucked up several downed beetle killed spruce trees. Loaded them in the truck and brought them home. Ran the larger pieces through the log splitter and stacked it all in the wood shed. Then rewarded myself with several chilled adult beverages. Then scarfed down some moose steak, basil carrots, and potatoes. Binge watched some tv while I worked my upper body with dumbells for an hour. Yeah, maybe I could still kick some ass. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just old guys bitchin' about stuff, and essentially bragging because we're still here despite life's injuries. When they stop bitchin' is the time to worry. Your old age will be just like your young age and middle age - mostly fun with occasional bumps in the road. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricordo Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Forewarned is forearmed. There are manuals that describe what can be abnormal as you age. It starts with the 30-volume set "What happens when you hit 50". Lovely embroidered edition. Problem is that it grows by one volume per year, so by the time you purchase "What happens when you hit 60", it's already a 40-volume set. And so forth. I believe they sell it on Amazon. Or in Facebook Market under "Estate Sales". 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwalchmai Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Notice that Tim did not entitle this thread "I have been stirred". I pretty much figured him for a Double-Nought. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Longmire Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 I will go out and cut more firewood this afternoon. Running a Husqvarna 365 Special. You know, when you've finished that cut you don't just shut the saw off and set it down without giving it a couple revvie revs. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAKA Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Really not much that you can do about it... Just because your HEAD says...I CAN DO THAT, don't believe it it's really saying I USED TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. The parts of your body below you head just laugh...OH YEAH 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
