Morning, y'all. No time for hot drink this morning, I am off to town to pick up my chickies before the low-water bridges flood. Yes, it is raining here. Again. I will not sigh. Lol. Catch you all later!

Good morning clubbers - it's sunshine, seriously it's sunny out there.

I'm 65 and in the last ten years particularly I've found there is stuff that I just can't cope with anymore. I can do most things still but when they take so much longer than they used to it seems greater sense to get someone else to do it.

My body started seeking retribution at 75, but I keep on doing the things I do so that I can keep on doing the things that I do. More slowly and at a higher physical cost, but the thought of giving in to 'old age' terrifies me.

At my age and experience I think I'm entitled to take more of a supervisory role.
There are two things I just won't do. Push wheelbarrows with heavy loads and carry any more than half my bodyweight.

Wheelbarrows still work for me, but half my body weight (that would only be 72 #) is a near impossibility.

Hey there Pert they keep sending rain here doing it some this evening again never put away the rain gear..... That is wht we call winter now I guess

Hi Penny. I guess I shouldn't complain about getting some rain. On the drought monitor we're in the dry category. So we can stand a little.

Hello @pertnear09

Hello Shad. Hope things are getting back to normal after all those mudslides.

<shudders> This is one thing I don't miss.
The last few years when his legs were going Rascal would end up stuck, sometimes with all four legs splayed out, and I'd have to get him back up on his feet, while hoping I didn't lose my footing. Happened on the vinyl floors in the house too, took me a bit to realize why he wouldn't go into the bathroom for his water bowl, then he splayed out on the kitchen floor and the light bulb went off.

That's what happens to my poor Newfoundland, as well. She's fallen down outside, but I've had to pick her up in the kitchen and in the shop (smooth concrete) from splaying out like that. My St. Bernard did it once in the kitchen and cried and cried! I felt awful for her. They get mom voice now if they're causing a ruckus on the linoleum!

Good morning, all. Thanks for the coffee, Shadrach.

Cold and trying to snow, again. They said on the radio that our snow pack is above normal! That's good news. Sounds like 40° tomorrow and maybe some sunshine

Hope everyone has a great day!
