Made me shiver to even think about it.
Now to find something to poke my minds eye out!
On getting older...
My anniversary & birthday are between Christmas and the New Year.
This year, I'll be as old as my father was when I went to Desert Shield / Desert Storm.
My eldest turned one year old on 17 Jan, 1991 - Desert Storm Air War beginning.
My brain has been chewing on that for a few weeks now.....
As mentioned in this thread, I've come to embrace those little aches & pains that remind me what I've accomplished and what I've not quite done as well.
But it's all about living life to its fullest.
I see so many people content to merely exist, sitting in their sofas, staring at screens of flickering light. While most may find it genuinely entertaining, I'm not there.
I need to be out & about, doing stuff, learning, taking things apart, making things better.
Someday, I may be forced to just sit due to health reasons - but those days hopefully won't be for awhile nor will they hopefully last too long.
I'm not so secretly envious of our forum septuagenarians riding - hoping I'll still be on two wheels when I'm 70+ years old.
Y'all have a great day - I need to go for a 3 mile run.
Cheers,
Steve
A kid I sort of mentored before I retired called to say hello/thanks/ Merry Christmas. And he said something I thought was pretty wise for a youngun.
" You need to get out of the house and give life a chance to happen".
No 3 mile runs for these knees but getting one out of the stable sounds good, even if it's just a short ride.
