I figure as long as I wake up in the morning it will be a good day. Going to cardio rehab to get things better , there are people in there that are a lot younger than me and in worse shape. I still can stay up all night plowing for my play money and go to my day time job for the wife’s money

Yesterday was a little tough I had to put our dog down after having her for 15yrs she was a PIA dog but we really miss her now.

[mud.man.rj]

Soory to hear about your dog, mans best friend for sure, always there.

[PAWS 72]

Sorry to hear Frankie. I know the feeling well. We have one now thats fixing to have to be put to sleep. She is about 14-15 years and down in her back. But MIL hasnt give in yet. but she is about ready to though.

My chiawawa? will kill me when he goes down. He is under foot all the time. Spoiled rotten.I'll give you 2 more if you will come get them.Have a good day bud.

Thanks guys for your kind words

Thought you guys would enjoy this:

Yesterday my daughter again asked why I didn't do something useful with my time....

Talking about my "doing something useful" seemed to be her favorite topic of conversation. She was "only thinking of me" and suggested I go down to the senior centre and hang out with the guys.

I did this and when I got home last night I decided to teach her a lesson about staying out of my business. I told her that I had joined a parachute club.

She said, "Are you nuts? You 're almost 72 years old and you're going to start jumping out of airplanes?"
I proudly showed her that I even got a membership card.

She said to me, "Good grief, where are your glasses!
This is a membership to a Prostitute Club, not a Parachute Club."

"I'm in trouble again, and I don't know what to do... I signed up for five jumps a week" I told her.

She fainted.

Life as a senior citizen is not getting any easier but sometimes it can be fun

Well, my clock rolled over 73 in late March.
We rebuilt an old house and moved in in '87. Have hardly touched it since, so is needing a few repairs, and face lift. Started out the other day putting new vinyl fake wood flooring in both baths, kit, and utility.

It's embarassing when a neighbor comes in and sees a ladder in the house while laying flooring. Sure is handy to climb up from you knees. Eat aspirin like peanuts, but us 'ol Geezers never quit learning to improvise for the need and occasion, do we???
Wife and I were laughing while looking for the flooring she wanted. She settled with some that had a 25 yr warranty. She laughed and asked if I thought if 25yrs was enough? I figured if it didn't we wouldn't give a hoot, anyway.

[piecesparts]

Soon to be 61 and still chucking trucks down the road. I have a project in the garage that is just sitting there waiting for that time that I have no other thing to do, but have plenty of drivers to use at this time.

[Daddy'O]

Just turned 52 last month. If I had of known I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself.

[mud.man.rj]

Haha, wouldn't we all have taken better care of ourselves, figured I would neve make it to 40 but now almost 53, old but still a hotrodder.

Funny how that works. Looking from the inside out, nothing has changed. I just wonder who that old codger in the mirror is........

My bride of 47 yrs. just reminded me that my clock had rolled 74 instead of 73. Heck, who's counting. Live a little, laugh a little, and let the good times roll.
