I Might Be Getting Old.....

I lost a fight, with my heavy bag.
I think a Trail 90 is cool.
My broken back is 35 years old.
I like being called “Grandpa.”
Add your original content. Or not.

 

Getting closer on the Grand Dad part, stay tuned! Looks like my oldest might have some "good" news on that score! Never thought that day would come, yet here we are!

In other old guy news, yes, I think old muscle cars are cool! The stuff I wore in highschool is back in fashion, and still fits ( ok, I lied there) and the music I jambed to is still considered cool as in the kiddies all like it too! I got my ass kicked by a 4 month old (60 pound) puppy who mauled me after with kisses! And I yelled at some kid to "Get Off My Lawn" the other day!

Gettin old ain't for sissies!

 

I'm getting older 70 next month. Still have a full head of hair and 185# The thing is i'm still very dangerous and that is what counts.

 

Sex is down to two or three times a day, If I am not playing a gig, I go to bed at 8:00 and watch Netflix until three or so and have seen every episode of Forensic Files. I am developing cataracts and vision is too blurry to enjoy my rifles much. My arthritis is not doing well and blood pressure is up near the should have already exploded level. Liver is definitely showing effects of way too much good whiskey. I have a brain tumor, non-malignant but causes headaches and I dream in cartoons. My memory is getting really bad and I often find myself just wandering and not really knowing where I am or why. I am overwhelmed with lethargy and a feeling of helplessness and little optimism. I have began carrying two 1911s instead of one. I need a long bike trip. I have a much shorter fuse and am prone to laying hands (or feet) on those that piss me off badly and still haven't managed to get my old raggedy ass kicked yet.

 

That's gotta be hard on your wrists.

 

Here what happens then

 

That's just morning, evening, and a nooner, if I'm lucky. What elese is a retired unemployed musician going to do?

 

That's a wicked rope burn there, Dude.

 

I think that hanging upside down table gizmo is the best thing since sliced bread. “I feel great!”
I’m trying to teach the dog to fetch the remote.
Silence my phone after 7:30pm

 

Kids decided I would be Opa. I'm okay with that.
I've worked 22 days straight and slept through 50 minutes of alarms going off at 5 minute intervals.
First time I've been late for work since 1982.
Kid I work with asked me if I had something stuck on my elbow. Nope, is just bones sticking out.
Everybody calls me Sir or Mister.
Q: "Are you okay?" A: "I haven't been okay since before you were born."
I have more hair now than at any time since I was 14. Most is still the same color as it was at 14.
Masks and sarcasm don't work well, so I don't say much.

 

I'm also a fan of an inversion table. Get a little stiff or creaky and time to hang out upside down. The cat is finally used to it lol.

 

Lol

Found out I’ll be a grandpa again, thought that was damn cool.

I’m geting to the point I won’t suffer fools, forget the gladly part....

meh, a pox on tithe lot of em...

 

Ah, Inversion table. There was some crazy popping the first few times. Old.

 

80's music is considered cool retro music
and the beach boys a classic
lol

 

I made something better than in inversion table, by the way I have 2.
This is far better.
I took 1" nylon webbing and made loops to hang on the top corners of the bedroom door and the other ends tied to a towel and I put my back to the door and my arms over the towel and let my knees bend and let my weight rest in the towel and nylon webbing and things start popping right away. You don't want to hang there too long or you will knock your self out.
If I am in pain from doing something stupid I take a pain reliever and let it do its part then I hang on the door. If I even suspect a problem it's no big deal to walk up to the door and hang a few seconds and let everything realign. No special booties or hanging upside down. And if you're a bit overweight, you don't use all your weight.
I injured my back several times through out my life time doing construction to working on boats lots of heavy lifting.
Knowing as I aged my back would have problems so ahead of time I made a lot of lifting equipment including cherry pickers on my trucks and in the shop and even on my rollaway tool box. Even my shop trailer has a bridge crane inside and an I beam out the forward door and a Jib crane on the back of the trailer.
In the barn, I have another jib crane for bringing stuff up stairs.
I'm 70 .

 

Have you got a pic of this,, or a sketch ,, im having a hard time visualizing this.

 

I find the older I get, the more I like and understand animals, and the less I like and understand people.

 

Well they call me Pop or Pop Pop I now have 6 grandkids which is the best thing ever. I do belong to the local Ibuprofen club
The older I am the faster I was so that's not all bad I just fight dirty now I never knew I'd be this old I'd taken better care of myself in my misspent youth
