I've noticed over the years that I'm not as old as most people my age. Best I can do. No way am I at top speed. However, I was still able to lift and flip a full 55 gallon drum into the boat this year. I'm not sure I can carry 100lb propane tanks anymore though. Beavers sure seem a lot heavier too.

Sometimes you just gotta kick back and eat a chocolate bar.

I guess I was in my 70th year when I started to feel the aches, pains and began to lose that feeling of exuberance, I had all my life. That was about 9 years ago and each year things get a little worse, I do believe. Once you lose that zest, then the mental parts begin to slip a little at a time.
Then you have the days that either the mental or the physical part of your feels really great, but the other part doesn't want to cooperate. Those are the hard days.

I just started to notice I was getting older about sixty. I realized it when I could only out work 80 percent of the men half my age. 8 1/2 years later it's only 50 percent. Mental toughness is easily as important as physical toughness when you get older. Stop thinking about it. Funny thing is it really only hurts at the end of the day. Stiff in the morning but once those muscles get.loosened up and I'm focused on what I need to do I barely notice it.

63 and still rolling along top speedo. Darn you. You just reminded me of the old bearded guy that walks down the road in the middle of nowhere with a cain.... in a speedo even when it's under 50°. Has got to be a California transplant.

I am now 74 and just realized that I can't jump as high as I used to and the bow is getting harder to pull. My bicycle trips take longer too. The key, I think, is to keep moving because if you stop it is harder to start again.
I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!
