I’m not gonna worry about it. My Dad says he walks everyday at the mall with a bunch of old people and he is 86. lol

After getting a reality check from a recent checkup, I have realized I’m not young anymore but after dropping 12lbs and increasing my activity just a tic, I’m not feeling as old as I was a couple months ago.

I am 76 but my brain still thinks I am in my 20's. However, my body is starting to realize it's actual age.


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!

Age is only a number. I turn 85 in April. I've slowed down some, but am still trapping.

Most guys that turkey hunt with me complain about the pace, guys younger then me just not in any kind of shape or as good of shape as they thought they were in. LOL One guy said he goes to the gum 3X a week still complains but I bet he works out then gets tired and goes home not pushing his limits much.

All around me, differrent folks are getting knee and hip replacements, heart surguries and what not....lots of working men wearing themselves out and getting fixed up. Farmers, well drillers, you name it.
