Now you are getting older - what don't you do?

Sleep through the night.

I had that taken care of this spring. I used to get up several times per night to use the bathroom, so I would also check the fire. Now I might wake up at 3 or so and think about feeding the fire but... nah, I'll go back to sleep. I've started walking more instead of taking my truck or ATV up to the garden. For years I would take time off at the end of the winter because snowshoeing was killing my joints; then we had an open winter, allowing me to stay off them and it apparently gave my body time to heal. A week before I turned 60 I found myself going up and down a mountain for 3 days... with 50-70% slopes.

I still can't believe that people do that for fun.
Of course most of them are following trails rather than a compass.

Think about all those things you could do without a tractor but don't have to do anymore when you have a tractor. As my back has gotten worse there were things I could do without bothering with the tractor but now when it comes time to lift heavy things in and out of my truck, moving things around the yard, carrying wheelbarrow loads of mulch, or pretty much anything that would be easier with a FEL, pallet forks, or a backhoe then I am using the tractor. Luckily I can still do most of what I used to be able to do but now I am smart enough not to.

At 65 Im still an avid hunter whenever I get the chance, only I don't go 2 miles into the woods. I limit myself to no deeper than a 1/2 mile, dragging out a deer any farther than that is no fun anymore.
Plus my hearing is not what it used to be.

Pretty sure those characters are from an old 60s - 70s TV show.

I'm 68, and can run a 5 minute mile, do 100 one handed pushups, work 18hrs/day putting up square bales, and lie like a politician.
