60+ year old thread.

If not raped; molested.

 

I had my first at 62. Worked in the yard later that day and even went jogging. Their warning about taking it easy were unfounded for me.

Duane, do you mean that you didn't feel "washed out"?

 

Surprisingly felt pretty good. Seems I felt weaker after being sick to my stomach than loosing all out the other end.

My dad had colon cancer so I get them every 5 years. Don't remember the procedure, thankfully. Wish I didn't remember the prep.

By the way my dad got his cancer at age 59. You all waited too long to start. But lucky! Anyway tell your friends and family to start getting them in their 40s.

 

started @ 50 and due for another one soon....

 

Had my first one at age 48 and every 5 years or so since then. (I'm 66 now.) Colon cancer killed my dad, his mother, one of his brothers and one of his sisters so my siblings and I get checked regularly. Prep is still not fun but is a lot easier now than my first time. The first time was unforgettable for other reasons though. I went under at 7:00AM on Tuesday Sept. 11, 2001 and awoke to a world that had forever changed.

 

When people ask "How much rain did we get in Pennsylvania?" I show them this

Morning all:
It's coming; just got done filling out a doe lic. application, I might need it!
Got the new hunting lic. last month, they now have a season during archery, muzzleloader, and rifle for bear, so I added a bear lic. to my lifetime senior lic.
I saw 3 last year during archery, 2 others the year before, none were close enough for a shot but never know when one will be especially with the inline and rifle.

Just saw this notice: Starting July 1 e-bay is REQUIRED to collect sales tax for your state, somehow I knew that was coming!
I don't mind so much paying tax on purchases, it's when they also tax the shipping and handling fee that irks me.

 

I should be cutting and trimming my lawn...but I'm not...maybe tomorrow

 

Latest pic. Most of the shell is done, still need to get the stone on the front. Unfortunately I reduced the size in an attempt to reduce the cost, and I may have compromised a bit too much. Not sure how much room I'll have for workbench, toolbox, etc. Ah well, too late now.

 

nice Dave

 

Afternoon all:
Sue.

Nice looking garage Dave!

 

Carl... how's things? Mrs? You?

 

Nice!
I miss hunting in Pa.

I remember taking the drive on a Sunday morning to Matamoras to get the paperwork for a non-resident doe tag, just to be sure it got in the mail on time. Did that for years, till online licensing came about.
I hunted Northern Tier in 3A for more seasons that I can remember...and a variety of seasons.
Had a good crew, but like most things in life, it ended.

By far, my best memory was this 25 pounder from Potter County.
My personal best and with a flinter, that's icing on the cake...

 

Saw my first turkeys of the year a couple days ago. Couple hens with some little ones that flew up into a tree, the hens stayed on the ground.

I didn't think I would see many here due to all the rain and cold weather for the entire Spring. But I've been seeing poults here and there.

 

Just pulled the compound out and set up the range.
Did not warm up the back muscles or anything.
Real cold turkey...
Can’t warm up before a day of hunting lol.

Haven’t touched it in 8 months.
3 shots
20, 30, 40, yards.

I’ll take it....

 

Evening all:
MY BAD; looks like the notice on Ebay was only for PA residents. I'm sure other states with sales tax will follow due to too much loss of sales tax revenue.

I haven't seen any hens in the yard, after last years wet spring and a repeat this year it had to put a hurting on the turkey population.

25lb is a big turkey bucktales, and taken with a flintlock on top of that!

Mike, you need to move that sight a smidgeon, every time I did that though I ended up back at the original setting after a little practice!

Doin OK Sue, chomping at the bit to hit the river even though the best walleye fishing usually comes with cold weather.
