Feeling older at 50F

Go ahead with all the wise cracks:
"What will you be when you are really old."
"Old? I'll show you old."
"You don't know what old is."

I beg to differ tonight.
The Steelers did not perform on my tele today, because it was almost 50F outside. A warm spell that beckoned me outdoors. Yes I braved the fresh air to allocate my time as follows:

* 30 minutes spent de-mining the yard of harzardous remnants aka big dog turds from a big dog.
* 30 minutes: untangling the 1000 feet extension cord to the tunes of "bloody sh*t, stoooopid fool" remixed with the all popular "F**king @#!$ @#!$"
* 30 minutes: reading the road map to appropriate required equipment, the tracks led to the neighbour's garage. Hmmm. The equipment must have walked themselves over there.
* 15 minutes: finding the starting line while setting off some of the mines camoflauged by the surrounding.
* 10 minutes: "What the $#@! isnt this thing working."
* 1 minute: Flip the power to the outlet.
* 3 hours: Plenty of blow & toss jobs involving twisting and bending of the back (in pain), ie raking and blowing leaves 100 feet to collection site, at the front of the house.
* 3 minutes: Clean up. Toss everything on garage floor and check shoes for animal perfume.

For all the aches and pain.... Priceless. (Bullsh*t)
I am hurting already, tomorrow is another day, for Tylenol Aches and Pain and Bengay ( if I have any left, not that I used it before. )

This is a friendly public announcement:
" If you can find someone else to do the hardwork for cheap to nothing, hire them. Quick."


For the record, I also had time to prepare "Ngau Lum Mien" (beef brisket with noodles) for dinner. Kids approved too!
