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. The Captain wants to waterski.

Being regular is a blessing. Had a old buddy that said, "Never trust a phart". I think I might understand what he meant in the coming years.

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

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