If this is the Gezzer forum, I'm in the right place, I have been hunting and guiding 5 day's a week since oct. 1 we have taken over 350 white tails about 250 pigs and just over 100 exotics, don't know how many coyotes and bobcats, and then throw in some damn good Quail and Dove hunts, this week is the last week of hunting season and I am glad it's over for another year.
I am gett'in to damn old for this crap, I need some time to build a couple of rifles and fix a couple of hand guns and load some ammo for next year, hell i'm only 80 years old and still have a lot to do, but I think I will rest up next week for a few days first. Rio7 Blue, paint them red... I like that red rifle you have. Jeff

My mind says I'm too young to be a geezer but my body disagrees. Nearing 63, I've had surgeries on sinuses (twice), eyes (3 times), neck (once), and knee (once; and if cortisone stops working, that knee will have to be replaced). There's a couple of other spots that could probably stand cutting on as well, just haven't gotten bad enough.
My dad made it to nearly 71 and as far as I know the only thing he had done was removal of a German bullet from his leg. He could outwork me right up until a few months before he died. I just ain't as tough as I ought to be.
But I can still beat through the bushes cruising timber for at least a few hours at a time, and get a few things done around the place like cutting up firewood and so on, so although I'm getting to be a geezer at least I've still got a little kick left in me.
The biggest problem our country has is not systemic racism, it's systemic stupidity.

I get really stiff if I sit or ride very long. Once I get going it's ok.

It's just like my wife's cardiologist said to me,
"I'm damn surprised she will even still speak to me."
We wont even start on her oncologist (#2) at "Cancer Inc."
Oncologist #1 was too busy finishing her graduate degree in business management to be concerned.
Now they cannot (will not) treat or operate (again) as surviving the procedures is pretty much out of the question.
Heart transplant??? LOL! "Oh, right. We told you that you were elegible ,but we forgot you had melanoma. Our mistake! Sorry!!"
So once a week we drive to town. I push her in her wheelchair to Have bloodwork for her INR count.
Hope the fentanol patches continue to work for pain.
After 20 years of watching her become the poster child for pharmaceutical companies and now shuffle around with a one handed Walker (left side paralyzed) as a cyborg with a 6" tungsten pump inside her, I've learned to keep my happy azz away from hospitals.

The joints seem to last only so long. My first was the left shoulder, and I'm right handed. Shoveling, or thronging hay bales I suppose the left does the lifting, and the right steers. One is labor, the other management! Yup, my left does all the bull work. I'm right handed. People who don't work with their hands assume that the dominant had would be most active. When asked which deltoid to put a tetanus shot in, I choose the right. That side does all the thinking.

You're a good man Bob. Brian! I ain't any different than anybody else! My point is this. I'd much rather continue chasing wild hogs, hunting elk, smoke my pipe, drink my beer and whiskey, eat elk steaks chicken fried in pure lard and vapor lock out in the pasture doing what I like at 63 or 65 then laying in a bed crapping myself and not knowing what day of the week it is at 75 or 80! I'm doing the same damn stuff lots of other folks have had to do! Hell we all know the risks! Life's one big damn risk! But after watching what my mom, dad, aunts, uncles, MY WIFE, go thru or have gone thru, screw it! Grab what you can!!! My health insurance ain't gonna pay for some docs next safari to Africa unless I'm going with em!!

I wonder how many millions, or billions of dollars are spent in the world, each year, still searching for old Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth?
Few, of the "products", work as promised, few.
