Better than the alternative is all I gotta say! -

I ain't old yet - so I aint got nuthin to add. After years of breaking bones when I was a teenager 0I went in to get some feel good shots in each of my shoulders and elbows. Doc said if you think you hurt now wait till you hit your forties! I am only 35 now. So I will sit here and read yalls post and see what I got to look foward to.

Later

I just bought an old oil lantern and told the kids I can remember when we depended on them for light..

No what does it mean though if all your hair is white and the gal at the register questions you when you ask for seniors discount???

When the bows your purchased new in the late 60's for $55.00 and hunted with now sell for $250 as collector items.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside thoroughly used up, totally worn out, with bible in hand and loudly proclaim...WOW...What a Ride!!!

When your wife no longer has much leverage,,, When you don't have to buy anything to get ready for the season opener,,,When you and your partner glass a big buck in a clear cut below you and both agree it is a dandy buck and then drive away,,, When your partner says, "I'm getting tired of driving! You drive the truck and let me hunt." When you learn to have a big "pee bottle" by your cot in camp.

2..never waste a hard on
3..never trust a fart
