A sign of getting old.

The many signs of getting old. Pretty girls start calling you "sir", You don't have to ask for the senior discount, You don't get IDd at the liquor store, hair doesn't grow where it should and grows where it shouldn't, what should get stiff won't and cramps. I keep some mustard packets close for those cramps. My hunting partner brings a jug of pickle juice for after hunt refreshment.

Dang, that does not look like it's from any cramp..Looks more like a football injury. Or MMA...

Heck, I forgot about the ultimate cage fighting match I was in over the weekend...that explains things now!
Those things have been in my rear view mirror for over a decade now. Thanks for suggesting that though!
The biggest fights I find myself in theses days, are trying to get my chaps on when I already have put my boots on....or just trying to lace-up my boots before hunting, while the dog is in the house.
 
Sometimes it's hard to find the little tool when you're all suited up and need to drain some liquid from a "seems like a minature" bladder.

I know, I used to have to get in there and play with it a little just so it would clear my zipper. Now I don't have time for that. If I can't get it out pretty quick, there's going to be an accident!!
 
I just saw a video on YouTube where this guy busted his dad's balls for not shooting at three roosters that got up late LOL

When I’m boat fishing in the winter it’s like 6 inches of clothing to fish out a cold tool. I’ve found that wearing sweat pants instead of jeans eliminates a second or third zipper. It seems that I can never adjust the timing of events to coincide getting two zippers down.

All us old guys know you only get about 4 seconds notice anymore to pee.

An old guy a a Vikings game 35 years ago told me while standing in line to not stand to wait behind him. Pick out a young guy.

Didn’t understand it then, but it was wise advice that served me well. Now it’s time to pass that tidbit on. :)

When I turned 60, I realized I needed to tone down my hunting, and not be worried so much about killing birds. I still like to get birds, but I'm not obsessed about it, and I enjoy being out with my dog.

At 75 with both knees replaced (sport injuries from many moons ago) and a fused neck, I know exactly what you mean Goosemaster. But I will have to be carried out from a field when the time comes but not now. After 11 GPSs and 60 years chasing those birdies , is not the harvest but the time spent with my dogs and friends. The outdoor rejunivates me.
