Life at age sixty and memories from my youth this morning.

[Dunc]

Smiling laughing this morning memories as I drink coffee .
Thinking forty two years ago P.T. Young kid in the P.I.R. After the usual push ups sit ups mountain climbers then closing ranks for a five mile run.
A lot of us perhaps still drunk from the night before and functioning on a hour sleep.
Our old man the C.O. He was a marathon runner he is leading the company run we’re on our way back to the company area.
And the old man leads us to the obstacle course to close out the run.
And you’re thinking what a fucking sadist asshole then we were young and could take it.
This morning after the gym walking into the grocery store I get a cramp in my left foot in the parking lot. No other options can’t turn back you have to push through this because you are low on milk bones. And a big score shopping because you found a squeak chick for your rotten soldier.

1. Thank god for your CO. Otherwise Dunc might not have a new squeak toy.

There are some things worth fighting for. Even if it’s with our aging challenges.

10. I'm 66 and have been retired for 2 1/2 years

Just some advice, keep moving! I slowed down and got a bit lazy and now the aches are coming in spades!

12. In my mid 70s and looking back with

mixed memories. Planned and worked for this time. Now retired for 24 years. ADHD, so I’m as, if not more busy than my work years.
Mixed memories of my youth. Totally mixed. Loved fishing and time in the outdoors. Terrible time in school and never understood why until i got that diagnosis when i was 40. Lived with a family of academics. Not me until i turned 40 and learned to sit in the front and then outdoing all of them.
Was always on first name basis with the principal. Daly trips to his office. Myself and other found my comments funny, never the teacher.
I was a hunter gatherer and the rest of the family were farmers.

14. We push through because there is no other way. Because the biggest effort is clearing our mind to get it done.

[Dunc]

23. And mission priority is to snatch snacks at grocery store.

It’s basically me friend i have a football problem. I find myself watching old NFL games on Tv today watched the raiders from 2015 😂 then the Eagles from 2012.

[marble falls]

25. I got it bad for AFL/NFL and Big Ten games from the 60s and 70s/

[Skittles]

18. "squeak chick for your rotten soldier"

haha you have a way with words my friend

[Ziggysmom]

21. He's beautiful. If my apartment allowed large dogs I'd definitely have a Golden.

Maybe I’ll move and have a dog when I retire. Or should I say if I can ever afford to retire.

[Aristus]

24. I'm fifty-seven.

I used to swing into and jump out of my tank like a brachiating monkey. The joys of being twenty-two.

Now I get a paralyzing backache doing the dishes.

[SheltieLover]

26. You are such a great dad to your best boy golden floof.

Milk bones & squeeky toy.

Great job!

Ty for sharing the vid of him.

27. My big Bernedoodle loves squeak toys.

He weighs 110 pounds, but he is a lil pup at heart. And yeah, I'm 64, hurt my foot yesterday just walking. But some days I feel good and run 10 miles. Depends on the day.
