 I did Manual labor for 20 yrs and I can say this was a new and wonderful experience.

You  know  you're getting old when you're back at full draw and your bowhand comes in four inches.   :p

You know you are getting old when you realize that getting old isn't so bad, and that still being alive beats the alternative....

and that things you used to do without thinking twice are things you would not think of doing now, not even once.

You know you're old when:
All the Firemen in your station cal ya, PaPa!

Your teen aged son says you're older than dirt, and you tell him you're only as old as the trees growing in the dirt!

You used to be able to ride anything with teeth, hair and eyeballs, and now you're just proud to have teeth, hair and reading glasses!

You know you're getting old when you re-read this thread and don't remember you already read it.

You know your gettin old when your kids suddenly begin calling to see how your Doctors appointment went. And you overhear your son and grandson discussing why each feels they are the better choice to receive your house. (and I'm only 53!)   :confused:

After this recent news, I stand corrected!  You know you are getting old when the next vice president of the USA is younger than you.

I'm only 26 but I jokingly asked the old timer in my diesel shop a few years back "How old were you when you first got electricity in your house?" His God's honest reply.... 17!!!

When you realize those 'vintage' bows you are shooting were bought by you then they were new.
