Up until I turned 48 I was in age denial. I thought, "this getting old stuff is a snap".
Then one day I found that I could no longer snap my fingers on my right hand without extreme pain.
NOT happening and for years that was my,"Get the fuck over here signal" for the dog.
I don't like people yelling at their dogs a lot when hunting so I train mine on hand signals.
One summer a lil over 3 years ago I took two twenty-years-old guys cat-fishing. We caught shad with a cast-net and made one hell of a mess out of my trot-lines. These guys were expert fishermen and didn't need some old fucker telling them how...until the lines were so fucking tangled I had to just toss the trot-lines.
Then we got back to camp and tried to leave. The head-lights on the truck didn't work and the two chuckleheads I was with had an appointment in town that afternoon. (it was raining) Probably girls... So the two fishing experts who just effed up my trot-lines start tearing into the wiring on my truck like they're going to fix it. I mean crawling under the rear bumper and un-taping everything. I went ballistic and said the headlights are on the fucking front of the truck and ran them off. Made them get a ride home...I was so pissed. The problem was a relay switch under the dashboard. I figured it out after they left. Their ride said he wanted to kick my azz and I invited him to try.
THAT was the day I admitted I'm old. IT SUCKED!
After I admitted it, things got WAY easier. I let my help do anything heavy for me and they seem to like it that way.
