You’re old

[MurraysMutts]

You are going to blink and then you will be! You will wonder how that time passed so fast.

Yep!
I've blinked a time or two already. Pretty scary. Seems I'm about the same age as @SmokinM and @Nesikep

I'm in that age category as well, I'll soon be 41. I don't feel old most days though. Sometimes I feel like I'm still in my twenties and some days I wake up and feel 80, usually feel 80 after I think I'm still 20 and do things as I did then LOL.

You want to know how the heifer is gonna turn out, go take a look at the cow!

Worked with a guy that cracked me up. He wouldn't date a girl unless he seen how mama looked beforehand.

I started feeling old when I pulled a muscle trying to put my socks on.

You guys are killing me ! I'll be forty in July. I can still out work most guys in their twenties, I just go at it a little smarter than I did 20 years ago.

How about when you just slept wrong???

I will be 65 soon and can work more hours than most in their 20's. But can't do the physical part like I once did.

 

[Nesikep]

Yep thats the stuff Nesi. I think you and I are roughly the same vintage. Will be 44 this summer.

Same!

I have examples of all three options, Momma and daughter being identical, Momma having a nicer or an uglier daughter

I will be 65 soon and can work more hours than most in their 20's. But can't do the physical part like I once did.

My last year of work where we kept track of hours (we don't around here), I did 3350 hours... I knew I worked out on the road a lot because from August to Christmas, I didn't use a roll of toilet paper at home!

That's what I mean by feeling 80 after I do things like in my twenties, have to work smarter. I'd say most of us on this forum can and do outwork most (not all) 20 year olds, farm work ain't for lazy people. I meet some young guys that can get after it. I think I worked harder in my twenties because I was hungry and needed to make the money and build a life where I don't have to hit it as hard.

When we are working a bunch of cows at B's corral I stay right with his two hired men. They are both in their early 20's and I am 70. I am sure I feel it more at the end of the day.

That's smart Dave, you've already told us how little they work.

Nothing wrong with that. I'm betting he was familiar with hybrid vigor. Probably grew up with livestock.

 

[Brute 23]

Those injuries never go away from your younger days. I'm not that old and they are already haunting me.

True to a point. But there is a big difference between when they are left on their own with a job to do and when the boss is the one working the chute.

Revisit this in 20 years…. your probably going to start getting slapped around in 10 to 15 years if your doing what you say your doing.

I couldn't possibly have slowed down any, but there are times I swear the cows are getting faster!

The first time I felt old was when I was working on a remodel at the college, and they were working with the cameras in the classroom; I could see my thinning hair on the back of my head on the TV screen in the front of the classroom.

 

[Dave]

I was about 45 when I first started working for the conservation district. There was a cute young college intern. She said I reminded her of her grandpa. That was a low blow.

The best way to find out if you are old or not is to trip and fall in front of a bunch of people. If everyone laughs then your not old. If the crowd shows great concern for your welfare, well……

 

[greybeard]

My brother once told me:

"You know when I knew I had got old? When I realized I couldn't actually run any more"

I know what he meant now. Ya just kinda walk really fast.....

I came back from overseas the first time and my sisters commented on my hair having a little grey in it at age 21 , but at least it didn't turn loose.
