This getting older business is a real PIA.

I used to work with young guys. When a project came into the shop, they'd set it on the floor, get a chair, bend over and work on it.
When I took in a similar one, I'd put it up on a table, get a chair, and work on it at eye level.
When asked why I did that, I'd tell 'em, "You'll learn, that the older you get, the less bending over you want to do".

Now, when I bend over to pick something up, I ask myself, "What else do I need to do now that I'm down here".


Enough of this idle chit-chat. This ain't no retirement home.
EVERYONE! Get back to your oars.

If I ever enter a stall and you dont hear me pee you can assume I trusted a traitor.

When you go to the restroom and it sounds like you're milking a cow, is that old age?


A good rule of angling philosophy is not to interfere with another fisherman's ways of being happy, unless you want to be hated.

Not necessarily. Knew a guy overseas that had that problem, and some screaming to go along with it.
He had been looking for love in all the wrong places.
