OT Getting old sucks
Damn age is a bitch. I threw out my back (first time) changing a lightbulb yesterday. I’m in so much pain I used a cain to make it to the bathroom lol.
I’m only in my mid 40s so I have no idea what 50+ is going to be.
On top of that the Vikings are years away from competing. I sure hope they get one before I die.
Oh, and how Tom Brady and Brett Favre stood in there and got their asses kicked after 40 is beyond me.

On weight resistance. Can I do it by doing farm work or does it have to be consistent in a gym?
I’ve got a hard time doing “work” that doesn’t accomplish anything.
Need to lose some weight and get back to running. Wife and I were the XC coaches for our kids team but we quit this year. All the extra time went into a rental house instead of staying healthy.
My theory is that if I spend a couple hours splitting and stacking wood...not going to the gym that day.
But if I'm going to be desk-bound in the office, yeah, it's a day for the gym.
In anyone's book, farm work (which I am intimately familiar with) counts.
Somehow we found ourselves playing beach volleyball at 1 am last night with a smattering of locals and the nicest couple I've ever met from Macedonia. Also somehow did something to my knee where I think my ACL might be located. Yes, getting old sucks.

Lol...You're forgetting what it was to be in your teens ;)
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
Welp, turns out I do not have back pain. I have a cyst on my kidney that is quite large. They’re going to talk with me tomorrow on what exactly to do about it.
Great thing is my wife and I coached the doctors girl in XC so I can get the give it to me straight answers lol.
Anyway all you old dudes. I’m young again!!!

They may want to biopsy that sucker and/or some more in-depth imaging....Hopefully just something that they'll monitor over time as you age out.
GL!!

It really doesn't. Seriously. Day drinking rules if you like to have a few. Happy hours if you want to go out.
When I'm at home, I couldn't agree more. Love day drinking and happy hours and you'll rarely find me out later than 8. But when I'm on vacation, it's a different story. Probably has something to do with the ridiculous levels of oxygen at sea level. That's another thing....at sea level, I never get hangovers.

Oh hell yes. Vacation time is party time and nobody cares what time it is. The problem with where I'm at is every day seems like vacation time because of the climate. I forget during the winter that the rest of the country isn't sitting outside at 4 pm with a glass of Pinot Noir in shorts at Kaluz on the intercoastal. But I sure do like being reminded. ;)
I used to LOVE my biz trips to Lakeland (Dec-Mar)...I love a white xmas, but I also envy you folks this time of year for sure.
