Seems like when I was 40, I was 25 but now that I’m 60, I’m 75.

I feel your pain, brother.

I'm a few weeks shy of 62. Now I can accomplish in a day what would have taken three or four hours ten years ago.

I don't much like it.

How did you fare with yesterday's storms? We were lucky here. Lots of rain but no wind to speak of. Other places around the area were not so lucky. The City of Columbia landfill/recycling yard (10 miles north of my place) was hit by a small twister which wiped out their sorting facility for the recycle stuff.

Bit of rain, bit of wind. Not much.

First day on the job today. Kind of thought I was just going in for new hire paperwork and I did not wear the right shoes for standing all day so my back was killing me the last few hours. It’s possible “I slept wrong” too. Something that never used to be a thing.

Nope, today was first day of full time. I think it will work out. Once I get trained on the machines, I’ll be left alone to run a machine. Possibly more than one since once you’ve done your setup and hit start, it might be cutting for an hour. CNC machining.
