Getting old really sucks for people who refuse to make lifestyle changes that would improve their overall health.

Most of us would be in much better health if we wore out more shoes and used less gas.

One thing I found about getting old is you never know what ache or pain you will have next. They come and go at a rapid rate. Actually they come at a rapid rate and go at a much slower rate.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

I remember when the ground wasn't made of Velcro.

I have found that it is difficult to not feel old when you have to use a cane in civilization, and trekking poles when off road. Bone spur in my back affected my sciatic nerve clear to my foot. I have to wear a brace to keep from tripping over my toes. I have been fortunate to kill a doe in archery and a buck with rifle this year.No trapping last year,but I hope to set some fisher and cat sets this year if the snow doesn't get too deep. Old age sure can slow a man down!

I'm not really that old i'm 65 I do have a lot of aches and pains especially back pain and joints, but I know one thing that driveway is hard as heck, I tripped over my hitch on the truck and landed hard. I layed there a few minutes and had a heck of a time getting up. I even looked around the neighborhood to see if anyone saw me lol

I don’t trap because I want to

It is like I have said before. "Getting old was fun. It was after I made the trip I started to have my problems".
