When You Discover You Are Not The Man You Used To Be............................

Two years of soft living has rendered me absolutely useless for this sort of labour. I shall restrict myself to repair welding or trucking if I am needed in the future. I have long recognized my status as a PL in the SC world but now I have the same status in the world where I used to be King Shit.
My life really really sucks now.
Got something to say?

Seriously, art, five hours of laying pipe is pretty damn impressive for a guy of any age...wait, what's that...oh, you were actually laying real pipes?
Sheesh...you life does suck!
Probably like most of us when we were young, it may have taken several times
I always said I wouldn't feel old until my body couldn't do what my mind wanted it to...turns out that I became old about 2 years ago. It's not the years though...its the mileage!
On a lighter note: Too bad your ITC & OTC "physical workouts" haven't kept you in shape for the oil field. In the U.S. you could probably find a way to claim those expenditures as a business expense lol
Life is short, so have fun whenever you can.
Not having any fun, you're not working hard enough to find it.
Complaining too much makes anyone feel older.
Best cure for aches and pains begins with boobs in the hand, oh wait, boobs dont exist anymore! (see previous TUSCL discussions).
In a hotel tavern in DirtyAss, Alberta right now. No strippers but there is a toothless old girl in greasy coveralls at a table across the room. Three big glasses of draft cost less than a single Kokanee at the 5.
And just think, about 10 of those big glasses of draft and she'll look like a 10 herself! :)
