Getting old

[AustinN4]

39 here. It's 18:49 local time. You guys should be getting ready for breakfast w/ Luby's and the senior Luann platter in the rearview. Don't forget to polish that 1911!

GTFO!

Yep.
Shared the story of this thread at work today when someone mentioned nap time.
Got some chuckles.
But for real - struggling to get dinner made for the rib and kid2.
A glass and a half of wine into the project - thank goodness for HEB packaged to go prepare at home food.
At this point 3:30 is gonna come real fast...

Now struggling to stay awake and losing m - wife’s already given in/ up and kid2 has receded to her lair following her evening feeding.

Enjoy it while you can.
We ain't had offspring at home in a long time.
Youngest is coming for thanksgiving though.
You could say we're excited.

Beginning to understand the struggle - we just moved from Aggieland to San Antonio - brought Ms17 and left Ms20. Supposed to love your kids equally, but.... just saying

Just got a six pack to go.

Been truly away from kid1 for 2 weeks. Can’t wait to see her.
Thinking maybe this is a start for a different thread ... the “Tearing up about stuff” thread.

Agewise I may still be young at 61, but 43 years of welding has taken it's toll on my body. Pretty much a reason I teach now.

Never screw around with an old guy that has a 1911.

I'm actually probably going to buy some of those reusable underwear as shown on tv. Haven't done it in awhile, but I used to fish in a tube float in the winter time ,and had to wear waders. I wind up a long way from shore at times, and I just don't go all day without taking a leak nowadays, so.....

I was 24 when I was 43, ( physically and mentally ). The Cancer treatment turned me into 80. I recovered to join the rest of the population to act and feel a bit more my age.

Recent health issues have pushed me past my years again , I'm a 98 yr old 130 lb.weakling. I don't know how far I can bounce back .

Excepting this^^^^ crap, I'd be bouncing off the walls young at 61.

Why? Cause he's busy unjamming it?

I can't speak for others, but you had better not rely on mine jamming.

Never had a 1911 jam (other than a SA TRP that failed out of the box).

But almost every trip to the range I see some new high tech plastic fantastic jamming. Funny how the tupperware fans never mention their jams.

That is because I have 4 "tupperware" pistols and not one of them has ever jammed.

 

[Bozz10mm]

So...9mm or 45 ACP?

Been there, done that. Got the leak fixed 12-26 of last year.

I hate prostate cancer.

Confessions.....

Im 58. Might need a touch of dental work but thats it. 6ft 220. Meeeybee Im lucky so far. I have to admit yall make me feel like youngblood.

Always enjoyed guns but just got heavy into them a few years ago. Me and the boys both and mamma too for that matter. Most of what I have is the new plastic. Mostly S&W, not sayin it never jammed, but thats not allowed anymore. After those first few, then its on you. Like Austin, mine run like sewin machines.
