Really losing my Mojo....

[mjk1967]

Well, I guess this isn't really meant for the 'humor' section, more the 'reality' section.
Turned 56 today.
Was planning on going duck hunting this morning. Bought a license for the first time in 5 years, this season.
Weather forecast - nice and warm for this time of year. Downside -- very few ducks, even on the Mississippi flyway (another sad story of how the sport has just crashed).

Called him last night -- "I think I'm sleeping in"

Even 5 years ago, I would have been envisioning first flight in the morning. Getting old is a female Chessie...

You are a young buck........ I turned 62 in September.........

Sleeping in is a big temptation.

I was feeling pretty tired today, too. Just low on steam. Time to go hit the rack. Keeping the candle lit at both ends doesn't work forever.

EXACTLY ! Yes a very Young BUCK @ 56!!!

I turned 67 a couple months ago. I am STILL trying to get over being 100% DEVESTATED from when I turned JUST 60! WoW.
Then asking the wife who is the same exact age as me: "Cathy!? WTH? Come on!? Where did it all go? and how so very darned fast!"
It feels like yesterday we were JUST taking our boys all across the USA on some of our many vacations etc... Those were before any of us
even thought or said the words ..... college out loud. Heck! They have already now graduated college and both are married and have their own children! Our GRANDKIDS! I am still having trouble realizing I am truly over the big 60 and closer in fact to the big 70! YIKES!
How on earth are some of you all accepting those creeping years? The real killer for me is it seems with each new year I discover something
else I can no longer do around the house or to the cars! Ugh.

I'll be 70 in a few months. I whole-heartedly agree with you. The thing that I have noticed, for me at least, is that time seems to pass by so much quicker.

My mojo is so gone that it is like I never had it.

 

[RTexasF]

I'll be 75 on the day of the solar eclipse. Mojo? It be gone...

My FIL is 78, he is like having a new puppy, all he does is eat, poop and sleep.

Turned 71 this past Feb, still looking to do more things, mind is into it but this old body says No. before I would get up early every morning, now I'm sleeping in till 9/10 AM. Just did an oil change on my Silverado and man it took a little longer to pull it off, harder to slide under and get back up, Yup old age Sucks.

My time is going slower due to a majic elixer.
The chore I hate more every day is getting dressed.

That can be a good days accomplishment,. I turned 71 last week.

I am 76. I read about guys my age and older who climb mountains. I just want to put my underwear on in the morning without falling over!

I'll have you know that I resemble that remark!

 

[LazyDog]

The crappy cold weather really kills my mojo or desire to do anything. The garage sits at 33F so I'll just sip some coffee and call it good enough.

I HATE to shave. If I skip one day I have the face shadow instantly!

Just wait till you kids turn to your mid eighties like me.

What a depressing thread. Always remember The Three Stages of Old Age:

Stage 1: You forget names
Stage 2: You forget to zip up
Stage 3: You forget to zip down.

Sadly I did all of those a few week ago after a very long work week…..
