I'm 59
Some days I feel way older than I am
I know that all of the aftermarket hardware I have in my body doesn't work as well as factory equipment that's in good shape does. But that's how life goes. I am still able to get out and do most of the fun things I love doing. I just do them much slower and in smaller quantities. And sometimes it's not a pretty sight watching me do them. Especially when it comes to trapping. But I'm not letting it keep me from doing it. I'm going to plug along at my own pace and do what I can do. I know the day will come when I can no longer do any of the things I love..
But until then I'm enjoying all that I can

Just had my right ankle X-ray'd a couple days ago. The joint has collapsed and the spaces are full of arthritis. I can manage to hobble about 50 feet at best. Doc said either some cortisone injections or fuse the joint for the long road.

I told him there is no long road and I'll try the injections . They worked well in my shoulders.
Still have three more cords of birch to split so I'm gonna try that today.

I guess this is what I get for living such a clean life

The neighbor had his ankle joint fused and from what I can see I wouldn't do it. The guy can Hardly walk down to get the mail.

I can believe that Beav !!

All those morning aches and pains are just joyful reminders of the fun we had in our 20s.

I’m at the age where you don’t feel stuff. Getting bruises or cuts and have no idea where they came from.

Being 63 is tough some days. Wish I was 20 again. Where does the time go. The gout can be a killer.
