Any Tips for Turning 60???

[Tater]

First of all ....Happy Birthday..!!

  Turned 60 last November, age is only a number ...Right!... I still do all the things I did 30 years ago just a little bit slower, and hopefully a little bit smarter?
 
 Good Luck and enjoy the advantages of being well seasoned...

I'll be 72 in June and All I can say is to enjoy what you are doing and don't let anything stand in your way. Best of Luck >

Some great comments on here. I just turned 58 a couple months ago, so 60 will be here before I know it.
It's just the last couple years that I realized I was getting older. Have to exercise and work out to just keep the same physical level. And I still work in construction, but the knees are starting to get bad.
I jst try to keep the hunts lined up in front of me to keep the desire sharp.

Happy Birthday! At 60 I was caught in the last round of lay-offs. Thought my world ended for about a week. My grandson asked if I had time to come to grandparents’ day at his school? Time--heck yea I have time! Who else needs an available grand parent—I’m in. Looking back two years later, the time I’ve had with my wife, kids and grandkids has been the best time of my life and it all started at SIXTY! So I say, bring it on--Tpa has time for all his little hunters.

Just don't look back.
Trying to compare now to the "good old days" doesn't add up too well. Watching your diet and keeping fit will go a long way to making things easier.

I kinda figure if you are one of the men that "live" life, it doesn't really matter how far you get down the path of years. Enjoy every day to the fullest. Especially those birthdays.

It sounds like you're doing okay, a new bottle of bourbon and a new longbow on the way.  You'll conquer the prostate thing and keep right on going.

Best Regards and Happy Birthday!!!!!!

Turned 62 in December, started SS in February- age is just a number that I try not to worry about.  I've started having aches in places that I forgot I had.  Ladder stands and ground blinds have become more appealing than lock-ons or climbers. I still work hard, but I've learned work smarter.  Why bust my arse and hurt myself moving/lifting heavy stuff when I've got equipment to do that for me-tractors, log splitters, backhoes, etc.

When I turned 60 I bought a Harley and started hanging out with younger people. Age is a state of mind. Think young, act young and you'll feel young. I just turned 78 and I still have a Harley..

"Make the most of all that comes and the least of all that goes!"  I've followed this mantra for almost 64 years and it has served me well.
 Like Ron said, hanging out with younger folks helps to keep you young at heart. Except for the normal wear items I'm doing pretty good for my age.

Happy Birthday and enjoy the new bow.    

Good luck with your bumps in the road, all will be fine.

Got that part covered Ron. I've owned this same bike since I bought it new in November-81. Just had the second top end job done. Added a higher performance cam, new Super E Carb, had the trans gone thru, etc. It runs better now then it did when new. Velda is her name and I just can't part with her. :)This pic was taken around 89, but she still looks the same.

I hit 60 this year. Dang time Flys ! Dang body can't keep up with my mind, it thinks I'm still 40 or so but as badly as I've abused my body and alot of surgery s for busted stuff it's held up well. .  I took a 5 day solo canoe trip and i I ordered myself a new Widow PAX   And planning a couple out of state hunts  this year . I really hope I can retire in a few years   We weren't put on this earth to work till we fall over dead !

Ed, I bought this Heritage Springer new in 97. The wife and I went to Sturgis bike week that year. Still got the bike.

   

[foxbo]

Both of your motors are very cool Ron. I don't blame you for hanging onto both of them. Two Harleys...how cool is that! I may wind up with a more comfortable bike one day, but I'll still keep the shovel. That new cam and carb really woke that engine up!

[Ron LaClair]

I sold the red Harley and bought this Custom bike. I had it for several years and then sold it. I'm keeping the white Heritage Springer for as long as I can throw a leg over it..   :D

It's not the question how old you are, I don't even like the saying, better like in Spanish how many years do you have, and is heard of a lady that would answer the question of how old are with this, I still have 20 yrs left, she lived until she was 98, so bro how many years do you have left, 10, 20,30, or are you going for 40
