you betcha dupa...!!!
all the years as a mechanic, hanging over the fenders of cars, crawling into the engine compartment, keeping my arms in the air as i worked under the cars/trucks while on the lifts, or "taking a knee" on that cold concrete floor, to set up the lift under the car,
or the triple amount of years climbing into a big rig cab, or climbing into and out of the trailers, or "finger-printing" (hand loading/unloading) the freight, or other such duties
or the years riding motorcycles
yeah....old age......pffftt...more like rehearsal for a slow, painful death

Sadly, my body is complaining about the abuse and neglect I gave it. Motocross landed me a new knee about three years ago. Softball left my right shoulder a mess.
Naturally, if I could go back and tell my younger self what it would be like at 65, I would have answered "will deal with that then." Biggest regret is that I can't do that stuff anymore.

SOBing, old people were right. "you'll pay for that when get old". "Ayha" and keep right on doing what I was doing. Ya just can't tell some people nutin.
Knee hurts whenever the weather changes from one or another motorcycle accidents, arm won't straighten from being thrown from a horse, mouth breather from being hit in the nose with a pipe wrench, missing teeth from the same wrench, the occasional boot and pool cue, hands won't make a good fist because they used to and I used them, back aches from carrying/lifting crap heavier than I was. Jumper battery to keep my heart going when it decides to take a break. Heat stroke, car accidents, falling off ladders, roofs, hypothermia, general hard work and hell raising did their jobs. I stay clean shaven because I'm sure the whiskers would hurt given the chance.
Oh well I'm just paying the fiddler for one hell of a dance, and I'm not done dancing yet. I'm game let's give it a whirl, don't mind if I'm a little slower now, I'll keep/catch up.

I worked in a steel shop and did fabrication for 20 years until I ruptured a disk. Back surgery got rid of the sciatica, but ended up with nerve damage. Good thing is I'm on the right side of the grass.

I operated a steel plate shear, the company I worked for made potato harvesters back in the 60s

Depending on phone i can help. Android/Samsung it's easy. Just search for "the Armory life", pull up home page, use the 3 horizontal lines on the bottom right, it'll ask "save page" option. From there you can add to home screen or other places.

The only thing I complain about at 60 is arthritis in my right hand. I suspect shooting big bore handguns are to blame...I have it a lot better than most of my friends, so I am grateful!

I shoot better left handed, but I've had a major issue doing that since 1/1/86. I broke the left navicular and it never healed correctly. I can't even shoot a 22 due to recoil. Long guns and sg's aren't an issue.
