age isn't the question
I seen guys that should be dead at 50.
I have worked with guys that were 65 and could make you look sick.
The story goes, if I had known how long I was going to live I would have taken better care of myself. This summer I discovered that I have to be a little more careful how I push myself. I can cut and load 1 1/2 cd on Wednesday, go back out and do another cord the next day. Then unload a semi on friday, and walk 8 miles putting stock away on saturday..... But by Sunday I am a basket case. I have tossed enough wood this summer that my mother accused me of growing tits!
I might be 45, but that ain't the end of the road! The greatest thing I did this year was throwing away the smokes. Cold turkey. 10 months now. It is kinda fun to load the truck and not get winded!
