You Know your getting old when.......
« on: August 23, 2008, 02:27:00 PM »
Thought this might get some interesting results from the guys here who are "getting up in years".

This started the other day when I jumped off a 6 ft ladder avoiding a large yellow jackets nest...which I didn't see. I hit the ground like a pregnant ballerina, twisting my back and now my lower back is killing me!  :scared:    :mad:  

So...
You know your getting older when it takes you 2 hrs to drag a deer 100 yds to the truck...and the next morning you can't move your neck or pull back your bow!

Good one Joe. You know your getting old when your 5 year old says "Daddy, you look kind of like Grandpa".

You know you're getting old when.....
   Your back goes out more than you do!
   Your joints are more accurate than the National Weather Service.
   You don't remember when your wild oats turned into shredded wheat.
   You try and straighten out the wrinkles in your socks and discover you aren't wearing any!

When it is 9:00PM on a Friday and you are thinking: "It's almost time for bed" rather than "Let's head into Boston!" I just woke up from a nap! :)

You know you're getting older when your 60 lb. recurve (at 28") only makes it to 26" with a lot of gruntin!  :(

I think it's cool now that I can shoot the senior class at 3-D shoots, and still shoot a score to be in the top three in the adult class, lifes good.  :thumbsup:

You know you're old if you remember when it cost less to fill up your vehicle than it does your lawnmower now.   :scared:
