Lets's face it, I'm out of shape. And old man said to me a decade ago, "I can still do a full days work, it just takes me most of the week."
When I was younger ad had my hobby farm way out in the country, I could work all day. Hard, physical labor, I'd get started about 7:00 a.m. and wok til about 5:00 pm, and I'd be tired, ready for supper, a beer and a bath.
After Laura quit blowing, I started cleaning up, repairing stuff, and I've continued through till today. But, I"d quit about noon, totally worn out. I did the same today I finished up the major hurricane project at about noon toady, rebuilding a privacy fence that Laura destroyed. Now Belle can sit outside with her housecoat, her slippers and her coffee without having to wave at the neighbors.
This week I've used a post-hoe digger, a chain saw, and most of my carpentry skills. I'm not complaining, it feels good to be tired from honest work. But, like that old man from a decade ago, I can still do a full day's work, it just takes me most of the week.

I used to wake up shooting sparks out my back end and now I wake up tired . What happened ? The old tent is wearing out . The good news ? We get a new tent Pawpaw !
Even three hours is too long using a chain saw in the heat.
I can run a chain saw longer but I cannot run it safely.
Yep, we're NOT young anymore... sigh
