You know you're getting old when your Mom is having more fun than you are.

I hope when I finally am able to retire hopefully in my late 60's that I have enough energy to want to still have fun. I've got about 25 years to go, hopefully I'm healthy enough then to still enjoy life.

I'm officially senile now. I checked to make sure my tire had air in it but I forgot to take the chain off when I unlocked it. I took the lock in the house to thaw out and then started plowing. When I was all done I got off and there's the chain dragging from the rear A-arms. I'm glad it didn't tear up the brake line or anything else. At least I didn't notice anything but I really wasn't paying any attention.

I hear ya! At 65 I am very fortunate to have decent health and thankfull for my blessings. While not rich by any means we are good to go as long as there are no extreme tragedies. I still work but part time on my schedule, but will continue to slow down as time goes on. I like having something to do, but also enjoy not being forced to have to do it. However good health is definitely number one. I am so looking forward to be able to travel around a little bit and do some riding with my new UTV while I can still find my way back home...LOL

I get forgetful at work sometimes. I have to carry around a scanner at my job to scan parts in and out whenever I move them. Often whenever I set it down to do something else, I have to think really hard where I put that thing lol. Once it took me about 30 minutes to find it because it put it inside a skid of parts. I actually thought I had lost it that time. Luckily it was a skid that wasn't going anywhere until at least the next day so someone would have found it.
