You Know You Are Old When

I can’t pee outside with the new dog around. Stupid thing tries to get in front of me, to where I can’t avoid pissing on her.

Years ago we had a tomcat "Reggie" who ran through my legs when I was peeing outside. The next day right as I was about to pee he ran through and smacked my bag!

When I had the "Herd" there were 3 males that had to mark everywhere we went on our walks.
There were 3 substantial bush lots and a mile or more of stream valley plus farm land.
The guys would stop and mark their turf.
As one would finish another would come and top it off.
I started topping their markers with mine. It's tougher than you think just pissing a bit and stopping.
They'd come back and top mine and I'd redo it.
Used to put a quizzical look on their faces when I started doing this. After a while they accepted it.
No other critter would have mistaken whos turf it was.

You know you're old when this is the way you hunt:

Smacked your bag…..too funny!
Nails in or nails out?

You're either really short or your bag hangs really, really low.

My double garage door springs failed one day. I used my hi-lift jack to jack the door up a few feet because I couldn't lift it. I had a garage door company come out and a big burly guy got out of his truck and put one hand under it and raised it the rest of the way. I asked him later how much the door weighed, and he said he used 400 lbs. for his replacement spring calculations. From where I had it jacked up, there was probably still 300 lbs. on the vertical tracks.

I've a son that lifts weights and lives with us in Virginia, presses something like 350. When I'm in Virginia and get something that weighs more than about 80lbs I get him to move it. When I'm in Mississippi I use other means.

I believe that will be going the way of the Dodo bird. Minimum wage here is going up to $14.65 at the first of next year, and a lot of people are wondering why they also should get tipped.

Pay with a card at the local sandwich shop and the "suggested" tip starts at 18%... payable before they make your sandwich. I'm not suggesting that affects their work but I can't say it doesn't, either.

When I see something like that I don't go back.

Hey, he already said he's old.

"Old is when you sit on the toilet, and your bag hits the water."

You're old when you sit on the toilet and you let go of your bag because you fell asleep and the cold water wakes you up.

remember when a book of matches and a ten spot were the required tools to "tune up" the car or tractor?

The strike pad was used to abrade the points, the book was the gaping gage (near enough to .015") and the ten spot, dipped in gasoline, was used to clean the points as the bills are as close to lint free as one can expect.

I recall doing a roadside "tune up" on my MG Midget after it stuttered to a stop on US 1 about 20 miles south of Stuart FLA.

Ran Perfect after!
