Saturday will be the big 75. Starting to feel it a little, cant work as long or as hard as I want. For my birthday present I got a Handicap Parking card to hang on my mirror. Swore I never would, but there it is. Can still make it to the range and to the desert for prairie dogs, so still have a little spark left.
My brother just passed 70, and while I was on the phone he arrived with a pickup truck full of mulch for me. Before I could hang up he had unloaded it all in a nice pile, so I realized that even though I call him 'old', he is still pretty tough.
'Old' is relative...

Passed that milestone a bit over a year ago and I really feel it this morning. Changed the rear hub/bearings on our Ford crossover yesterday so I spent the morning bent over, under a fender. Really felt it when I bent over to get my shoes.

One of my big enjoyments is working on cars... the best investment I've made in the last 40 years was:
(not mine, as mine's full of greasy tools, and not a few left over parts!)
And nowadays they have so many more styles will all levels of comfort...
Aye, as with 2 double axle trailers, 5 cars, two mowers and 2 farm tractors, bearing maintenance along with brakes are a way of life!

There is a fine line between hobby & obsession! AND... I'm over it!!
No I ain't ready, but let's do it anyway!
Happy Birthday Mr. York!!! I'm just a Kid as usual at 61. . Somehow we all have to keep going. My neighbor across the street was 89 and still going strong every day. always busy. one of My favorite memories ,when I could see the Groundhogs in His big garden I asked Him if He wanted Me to get rid of them He said "No I plant extra just for them". .
Two years ago I thought that I was doing all right when I turned 75. Now at 77 I still feel like the Lord blesses me every day when I get up and walk to the Kitchen to make a pot of coffee for me and my wife. I do tend to rest a little more when I am working on something, I tell my wife it's because I'm getting older.
