feeling old

larry@stinescorner · Mar 12, 2011

I really feel old when I walk around the yard and remember planting these trees, the last one was a christmas tree in our livingroom, took it out of the livingroom and planted it out in the front yard 19 years ago

Hello Larry@stinescorne,
Age does not come alone!Aches and pains soon follow.BUT..........it beats the alternative no?
Keep doing that good block work as long a you like to do it, then RETIRE!

I don't feel old until I think back on Michigan's pheasant heydays. They were 50-60 years ago. I was a kid in high school.

I get that feeling looking at a piece of rusted antique machinery and finding out it is 20 yrs younger than me.

But i felt young again the other day when i went to pick up a 240 lbs bare 6.5 engine block i had bought at a local wrecker.The block was sitting on a couple stacked wheels and i was about to wrestle it in the truck box when a 25 something year old walked up and said."Shall i do that for ye Grampa",i said,be my guest!.
Well,try he might he couldn't lift it.I said "shall i try"
The guy said,its just to damm heavy,i said "maybe,just let me.
The look on his face was priceless when i set that block on the tailgate.
I told the guy,be carefull who you call grampa next time.

Wasn't hunting pheasants and rabbits fun? Now we got coon, coyotes and those split-hoofed, skinny legged, rat things that wreck cars called deer. I hope the city boys get out and eventually kill all of them! Open season on Bambi!
