Makes a lot of sense.
Everyone should take heed of what he says.
Been there, and know the facts of it!
You young ones listen, because it's coming, faster than you think.

That was good and I believe in what he has said. When a person retires you need to retire to something. He described it as lighting a new fire he had some great advise for life.

Sounds like he could fast forward those narrows down starting at 46 for me.

Technically the jobs still there but doesn't sound like on going back to it from what my last dr appointment acted like. The body is definitely betraying me. Physically and mentally/cognitive. Trying to figure out where the sore knot on the back of my head came from currently. Dont remember hiting it on anything when I fell this morning or yesterday mornings tumble.

Not a bad AI story. True most guys that retire from my plant draw 13 pension checks before they die.

I dont think it is the hardest stage. That still goes to picking out coffin and head stone for my 16 month old son. So fare everything else ic a cake walk in comparison.

I think the narrows could happen at any point in life. I try to wake up everyday and thank god for another one. I have lived a blessed life, Not perfect but blessed.

Lots of good reasoning in that video. At almost78 years old it take's a lot longer to get things done but one can NEVER stop.

A whole lot pessimist, out look


Yeah true but not the direction Im running
I Thank God every day for another morning , another day, . I was told years back I wouldn't be capable of walking or moving around on my own. Went though a tough stretch I was walking without assistance. fell 45 times in two hours,,,Couldnt get in and out of vehicles, Wife did all the driving,,,,,,,,poor me,,, blah bla bla


Forget that depressing outlook. Yeah it takes me a week to get done what I use to do before breakfast


Last fall I solo archery elk hunted( lots of glassing not much walking. Packed out my own bull elk: 6 trips 3 days, one mile in 400 foot down,,,, Im going to run a marten and cat line next fall ,, no elevation,,, road trapping at its best


Work hard play hard

the loosing starts early for some of us for some a wife for some faculties

your boys are an an age and you are getting to where your not able to do it all like you were. this is the coaching stage , coaching them through all the things that need doing because they have the muscle and you know how to do them. teaching time , sadly your biggest job has and is for every father teaching them how to live without you.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Not true if your priorities have been right throughout your life.

He is. I listened to a couple other videos of these AI productions. Kind of takes away the Authenticity and meaning of the words spoken.
