This is exactly why we have kids--it's his turn to do the carrying!

Getting old?  Nope...not me.....I'm there already but I never plan to act my age...lol

The body will act the way the body acts but mentally I will not succumb to the "old folks" way of thinking.

God bless,Mudd

if you haven't grown up by the time your 50, you don't have to.

I agree,but when I'm sucking air and he ain't even breathing hard it gets your attention.
     But on the plus side,I kept up real well going back down   :goldtooth:

I'm 56 and am just now noticing my limitations. It makes me mad that I can't do what I could 10 years ago. But I wouldn't change the wisdom I have gained for more youthfulness. Work smarter not harder.

I was lucky today and had a 16 year old helping me pick up targets today after the shoot or rather I was helping him. 54 years between us makes a difference but I tried to handle my half of the load.
