"I hope it never come to that, but if it does, sooner rather than later, I’m gettin’ old."

I know the feeling. Been three times 'round the world. Survived several bush wars and two heart attacks...so far. Know what? I'm just now gettin' cantankerous enough to hang in there a bit longer. Just to be contrary.

As John Steinbeck once said, "Never pick a fight with an old man. If he's too old to fight, he'll just kill ya'."
Words to live by.

Same thoughts here.

I had a job doing some steel fabrication yesterday, my original time estimate was several days, I was so pissed off at myself for all my aches and pains cutting steel and being on my knees for half the day welding I finished the job just to get the dam thing done with.

Or in the words of ExSoldier: "I'm too young to die, and I'm too old to fight fair."
