Her clothes may say she rides horses, but her legs say it was just a photoshoot.



As someone who will probably never be able to afford full retirement, I can second this. I also don't expect to get too far past 65. When my body fails, its time to go.

I have no pension just been a working stiff all my life.
I will work till I die. Just wouldn’t work as much
61 now and shooting for 100. Will take it day by day after 100
Grade 12 but I am self employed and own lots of vintage toys

Have your mom click the link.

Then ask her if your Dad kept a Gold Coin in his wallet........

I have an Adidas wind breaker light coat. I use it as a rain coat although I still get kinda wet. I got it for free years ago out of my neighbors camper he was cleaning out that sat for 5 yrs.
Why do u ask?

 

[Woodpecker]

I had several customers in their early 90's coming in to buy a MS 171, 211 or 251 (easy start) because they wanted to keep cutting firewood, but it was getting too hard for them to start their bigger saws they used to use all the time. Then we had other customers in their 40s-60s pushing +350lbs riding around on the battery operated carts to do their shopping...big contrast.

We used to be a nation of fit citizens now some aren’t fit to be citizens.

P.S. don’t misunderstand folks this is in no way, shape, or form a political statement!

I think/ hope it’s fine to go all the time as long as you keep going all the time. I’ve seen a lot of old farmers retire and have F/A to do and they go to sh*t pretty fast like dead in a year.
I do alot of labour/ hands on work and feel great but I’m also 26 so I’m still in the first leg of the race

To be 26 again body wise and know what I do now at almost 48. Arthritis both hips one fixed already 8 years ago when I tore it. Both shoulders will need repair soon and probably need carpal tunnel surgery soon. Working hard is fine and so is playing hard but maybe should have took it just a touch easier on myself.

 

[Hoser]

What do you figure did the damage?

A few months shy of 60 here, still stay at it from daylight to dusk on the weekends firewooding, fencing, helping with livestock when needed etc.. Most days not too much hurts when doing it, next day might take a little time to get back into gear though. Lived alone a lot of years and always did everything alone, including additions on my house. One piece of advice for those still young enough to gain from it, and I'm paraphrasing my wife's grandfather, "never turn down help unless your eating" !

 

[LAWN BOY]

Various adults schold me that I’ll have back issues and such someday due to the heavy lifting and moving/work I do. And I will admit I don’t use my back/leg ratio correctly. In the past week my back and neck pain has been worse than ever, not terrible, but not what it should be at my age.

This is partly what has happened to @dall.
You can only go at 110% for so long. Eventually everything catches up and you’ll find yourself only able to do 10%.

Now you do and you can now be too cool to be schooled or scholded!!

True, but 10% is still infinitely better than 0%. Which is what so many people are hell-bent on getting to.

Yep, just like most jokes .....right over his head.
He is young and is in online school.
If he ever enters the real word and the workforce he will have a ton of catching up to do in a very short period of time.
