I have 3 younger brothers. The youngest one turned 70 today. Wife hit 70 a couple months ago. I am surrounded by old people. I stopped at 39, but I am an older 39 than I used to be. Grandkids running around make me think I should have stopped at 29 instead of 39.

Yep know the feeling

At 78 Daniel Boone was still trapping beaver up in the headwaters of the Missouri. All by himself!

..... Wonder if he was feeling old?

At 67 I still feel pretty good, can out-hike most 20 year olds on rough terrain, although they would kill me in a foot race.
I keep waiting for "the other shoe to drop", I expect it will catch up to me all at once. The only thing that feels old is the lower back, but I can usually shake that off with activity.

I fell off a heigh roof at 19
Got crushed in a car accident at 23
Fought for 7 years
Roofed for 30 years plus
ADC beaver trapped since 2003
I feel it at 62,,, this is why God made ibuprofen…..
Like waggler,,,, I can still beat my kids up a mountain with a cig in my mouth…..

It is a mind game……..

I'm still setting 330's by hand at 67. Beaver are noticeably heavier than when I was 20 something though.

Your still a stud,,,,
Wait till Oregon goes to cages and ya got to pull a 40 plus beaver and a 20 plus cage into the boat….

It sucks,,,,,

Just like women.
It's all the high fructose corn syrup in everything these days, lol

I turned 79 today had total knee replacement 29 days ago hope to put out traps the second week of January but feel just a bit old.

My knee is starting to feel better today after 3 weeks

At 62 the pains, aches and breaks are adding up. But, I feel fortunate to feel as good as I do, and to have the "want-to" to keep moving.

All you can do is keep chugging along

Happy Birthday

Yeah ditto...Happy Birthday belatedly!

I lost 20 pounds and feel 10 years younger than the 66 1/2 that I really am.

Went for a ride yesterday ......feeling it today

Can't whine though ....buddy in this pic is 67 .....no crybabies allowed...lol
