Thread: nearly old members

54 in a couple of months and only had a FAL for about 18months. Body gets sore from building these days, had 9 years off the tools then moved to a town where basically its the only job that pays a real wage.

Have a ruptured long head of bicep in my right (dominant) arm, need glasses for reading and think will need them full time in next couple of years, hearing is not bad as always worn earmuffs at work.

Sport certainly has taken its toll. Spent my teens, 20's and 30's doing all of the following. Swimming, waterpolo, road cycle racing, competition dinghy sailing racing, windsurfing, rock climbing, caving, tramping and mountain biking, not sure how I ever had to time to hold down a full time contract building job as well.

Not getting out hunting as much as I would like between having friends come and stay and shit weekend weather lately. But did get out to the shed today and clean and de-prime some brass.

Oh and only 2KG heavier now than when I stopped all sport at about 37 (currently 62KG) and still eat anything I want, but don't drink much alcohol.
