Im 106 today.......

[Jeramie]

Our oldest turns three this week. We are having her party on the 11th because Ill be out after speed goats this weekend.

In anticipation, my wife decided we need to start cleaning now..... I started brush (bush) hogging yesterday. A couple hours into it the shifting link-arm breaks. Now the tractor is stuck in 1st gear. Ok, so moving on. I head to the house, pick up the Ryobi over sized (ow, ow, ow) manly weedeater and begin chopping down tree sized weeds. After about 30 minutes of that I downsize to the sissy sized, curved shaft, 1/3rd weight craftsman that my wife picked out.

Literally after two hours of that I get out the chainsaw and start trimming back the Elm trees. They were touching the ground so it was time for a trim. That was all good and fun, short of the fact I was cutting above my head so no one would run into the stumps left behind.

I thought I was finished... Wrong. The wife wanted to mow and trim the yard. So after weed eating around the house, pool, 5-trees, kids toys, side walks, the cellar, well house, back porch, bird baths, yard swings, rose bushes, big green berry bushes of some sort, and that stupid chimney thing that weighs a thousand pounds, I was finally done with the yard.

This morning I woke up and I am now 106 years old. I cant lift my hands above my head. I cant grip hard enough to kill a misquito. Typing is harder than carving marble. And im seriously thinking about renting a walker....

Ouch!

[jbeck]

I'm there brother, your preaching to the chior. LOL

I cut fire wood this weekend, and I figure that wood got heavier than it used to be. I haven't burned wood in about 10 years.

Then I go to split it. OHH MYYY!!! that 6 lb. maul must have soaked up a bunch of water cause it weighed about 12 lbs.

I with ya bud, just keep thanking the good lord we have the health and the strength to do what we can.


I have one closing word for ya. ADVIL

It all goes down hill after you turn 30. Just last weekend my buddy and I were playing Wii baseball, my arm was still sore after 2 days.

You know, there's an easier solution to your problem. It's called Roundup.

Work smart, not hard.

Wait for a few years and there is going to be days when you haven't done any "work" and you still can't raise your arms over your head and you ache all over!

LOL!!!

But I'm as good once as I ever was

I feel your pain buddy, I climbed a tree Saturday evening and thought I was gonna die yesterday.

[Andrea]

Yeah but your yard looks great right?

[Jeramie]

Actually the yard does look great! All the sweat and tears pouring down on the greenery really brought it to life!
