At 55 I appreciate a good rocking chair.

It should be required that you take creatine if your over 60. It will make a world of difference. Less dizziness, more stamina, a lot of benefits to many to list. I have not found any down side. Do a search (creatine over 60).

I learned from Clint Eastwood, and I’m not listening to the old man inside.

I lift weight at the gym 3-4 days a week and do cardio. I eat clean, heavy protein, and I try not to eat outside my kitchen. No boos, no fast food, and if eating a restaurant eat healthy and keep your portions in check. Physical fitness + clean eating does wonders. Get your testosterone levels checked. If low or on the lower side, consider going on TRT. I also take a lot of vitamins and supplements.

I feel 35, maybe even 30. Robert F. Kennedy has his workouts on YouTube. He’s 72. As you age, you have to fight that age with exercise, nutrition, and sleep. I decided a long time I’m not taking it laying down and will do my best to die with my Adidas on.



What am I doing? I'm talking to an empty telephone

Wahl makes a good trimmer. Got one a while back, combo small clippers and nose hair trimmer. Both rechargeable, both work well. The nose hair trimmer is designed to be rinsable after use, which I prefer.

For those looking for a trimmer, my barber recommended this one, and I have been using it for three years. I hate to shave with a blade, and so I use this instead every three days or so.

Andis Slimline Pro. Cordless rechargeable, sits in a stand on your bathroom sink shelf, trims to 1/16 of an inch or finer, takes care of beard, eyebrows, ears, nose, and where ever else you are prone to stick it. Blades may be sharpened or replaced. It also comes with a set of combs for those who have a real beard, 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, and 1/2 for a nice even trim.

Couldn't be happier with it. Use a real razor only if absolutely after a trim with the Slimline, but at my age, in this current grooming environment, there is almost no occasion where I need to be scrubbed pink and baby's ass smooth.




"I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . . That’s the only way to pay back part of that vast debt, to live up to and try to fulfill that tremendous obligation."

Alfred Hornik, Sunday, December 2, 1945 to his family, on his continuing duty to others for surviving WW II.

Having shit burned, frozen, scraped, and cut off your face. If you’re not already… start wearing sunscreen whenever you go outside.

Yep, just went to the dermatologist about a spot on my arm and she "zapped" three places on my face that I wasn't aware of.

We had our hut tub moved to the new house. I just ran conduit, installed a new shutoff 3' above the one that flooded, wired it up with 6awg wires and came up with an old man problem:

Laying on freezing cold concrete/tile while trying to do work really sucks the heat out of you and everything that hurt beforehand now hurts twice as much. All I can do right now is stare at the empty hot tub wishing it didn't take 45 minutes to fill, a trip to the pool store for chemicals, and another hour or two to get the water right.

Trapper, if that ain’t irony, I don’t know what is! Big Grin

Here you are, hurting because you’re working on the thing that’s gonna make you feel all better.

I hope all worked out in the end!!

Is this something I just need to accept and deal with?

1. Hair growing on and out of my ears. All of a sudden I have crazy wild hairs growing out of my ears in all places, on them, in them? What the hell?

2. Random cuts and bruises on my hands and arms I DON'T RECALL getting. Is this another old man thing?

What else can I expect? Yikes!


Just wait until you are 73!

Your peers will be totally obsessed with talking about 'getting old.'

Afflictions, hospitals, doctor visits, lab tests, surgeries...yada yada yada blah blah blah...
all the time in every venue, every gathering, every meeting, every conversation.

All your peers except Prefontaine. Smile

Better yet, wear a hat. Smearing all of those chemicals on your skin is not a good thing.

I think it was Carlin that said you don’t stop growing hair it just starts growing in other places. As for the cuts, bruises, etc. my wife has been asking me since day 1 how I got this or that cut. I tell her I have no idea how I got it. It’s not like I make a mental note every time I get a cut. I’d never get anything done if I did. Just part of being a guy the way I see it.
