Ok we’re really off subject now !!!!!

I remember you mentioning if your going to travel do it between 70-75 great advice .. we’re planning on renting a camper and doing yellow stone and tombstone I’m not thrilled about driving anywhere but we have little dogs we have to take along most of the time
-
To add to what Geoff just said. If you have any travel on your bucket list, do it NOW. We were 68 when we did Alaska and 70 when we did Australia. Today in our 80's we could not do the walking and long time sitting the travel would involve.

I am not sitting in a chair watching the world go by, I just got back from doing repairs at my brothers, car repair and house repair. I go to the YMCA for exercise 3 days a week, never the less, what I can still do today is vastly reduce to what I could do just 3 years ago, when I was felling trees, and rebuilding an old building. Point is you don't know what the future holds for you, I never thought I would see the decline I have. I can no longer rise from a chair without using my arms to assist me getting up. My wife, who is 8 years my senior, can do it no problem. I am writing this, not for your pity, but as a warning to those who have grand plans that they hope to do when they can retire, I hope you can, but you can't count on it. Do it while you can, if you have continued great health, you'll have great memories, while making more, if later you can not, you at least got to do it when you could, not lament that you now can't. I try and keep my hand in helping others where I can, in their projects, even if it is done from a keyboard. I still learn things every day by "keeping my hand in" even if I don't do the work myself. My mind doesn't recognize my bodies limitation, and it may kill me trying to do what my mind knew I could in the past. I have an outer CV joint boot to replace, I"ll feel great if I can get it done in one day. I don't even want to know what "book time" is on the job, it no longer applies to me.

I called Winfall Sand and Gravel today to order a small truck load of gravel but the driver said her truck was broke down and she would have to bring it tomorrow. I told her I didn't want it tomorrow, I wanted it right now, so I told her never mind.

If you done all that by yourself you were one busy dude! terry

I feel your pain -
It's just a little plastic wagon I use in the garden and for yard work. It's too flimsy to haul much but I couldn't afford a wheel barrow😁

i have been driving trucks for 57 years now. a=but i think i have only "worked" less than 20 days. i dont go to work. i go for a ride in the country, burn expensive fuel, put miles on new trucks, and piss off people behind me by driving 5-10 MPH under the posted speed limit in the right lane.

I went out and moved the big Mack truck over a truck width to the north. It was beside an oak tree and one limb stretched out over it just enough for birds to mess up the side of it. It was much worse than this, but the rain washed some of it off. I pick up rocks out of the garden all the time and I put the ones I had in my wagon down before I moved it, but I need to pick up a lot more rocks! I noticed the rocks in bags at the hardware store were $9.99 a bag the other day. The last ones I bought were $4.99, for pea gravel. I don't know what the $9.99 a bag ones were, gold nuggets I guess. And here's Belle staring at my blueberry muffin.

My good friend turns 71 July 18, I turn 60 on July 17. He still works pretty hard after retiring a couple years ago.
