You know you are getting older when..............

When you are lying in bed at 2:30 a.m. and come to the realization that you can no longer do the yard work anymore because you hurt to much to even sleep, and all of the bigger DIY projects are probably going to need someone else to do them (no longer DIY ).
Oh and by the way the only thing golden about getting old is YOUR PEE.
 
I've heard the phrase "the golden years", but I refer to 'em as the "rust years" cause nothing moves very easily, and you wonder if that can of WD40 or pentrating oil would help in any form or fashion. :(
 
Damn. You guys are not getting old, you ARE old!

I'll chunk this one in. How long has it been since any of you dared to stop and pick up a hitch hiker? There was a time they were just some poor soul down on their luck. Now they might well be a serial killer looking for their next victim.

But what do you think the chances are theirs 2 of us?
