Let me say up front, this is here for me to look back at say ten years down the road.
I'm sure I will say boy I sure I could go back till that time of my life.

Getting old sux.
Don't take me wrong, I am in a happy place. Being an old geezer has a lot good stuff that goes with it. Every now and then I do miss some of things that has got left behind. I'm thinking about things like good eye site, hearing, low blood presure, sex life, no doctor visiting, and that list could be quite long.

This week I had something happen that really got to me. I was doing some work at dads, and had to go get a sack of cement. It was a 80 pound bag. I couldn't lift it over the tailgate. I had to put it down, and lower the tailgate to load it. I am weaker than I thought, and that hit home.

I know why but, it just plain sux. I can't eat good fried food, or any good stuff with any animal fat, due to cholesterol you know. I can't eat candy, cake, or any
junk food food that makes you strong, due to sugar. I love pork, but it raises the blood pressure. I can't eat greens due to blood clots. No wonder I'm weak.

I still got caching, so I am set for a while. Now me and Henry are going to spend some time together this week.
