You Know You Are Old When

[WinterDeere]

No .... stay off the roof old man.

Okay, roof was a bad example. I’m not even old yet, either. Just now reaching the age where upon the completion of each 20-30 year item, I’m thinking, “next time I’ll probably have to hire someone.”

“next time I’ll probably have to hire someone.”

Yeah, good luck with that, we have to beg to get anyone to even talk about work we need done and NO ONE to even bother to show up...

... when you realize there are a very limited number of seasons or years left, where you're going to be physically able to complete some of those projects you've been putting off for "someday". Better get that roof replaced, while you're able!

Speaking of roofs, I would not own anything with a pitch greater than 4/12, maybe a 5/12. Particularly as you get older. I had a 12/12 once and hated it.

Basically if you need a steep roof to shed snow I'm out

You Know You Are Old When
You start seeing those sick looking spots on your arms that old people get.

My wife's older today...70! We ate at a Mexican restaurant we frequent & they sing in Spanish, she gets fried ice cream, Sombrero and whipped cream in the face!
Wished I had my camera with me for the whipped cream.

Doesn't look too thrilled about all the attention.

You know you are old when you discover that you can fix tweaked loader arms by putting air in a flat rear tire.
