The new and improved Good Morning thread!

Good morning everyone. Tired and sore today. Worked my ass off around the house / yard yesterday and I'm paying for it today. Important safety tip: When you're an old bastard who isn't used to working outside anymore you need to take it slow. Damn heat just about got me yesterday. Got very overheated and just about passed out. Wife (bless her heart) said "you're done, I don't care what still needs doing, it won't be done today". Not sure how much I'll get done today. I may have to just recover from yesterday. Getting old sucks.

Yep. For someone like me who has had a tendency to go 100 mph with my hair on fire as the saying goes, I've had to learn to take it easier, esp in the heat.

It happens to us young whipper snappers too thinking we can get anything done no matter what with a dash of invincibility.

Don't let yourself get to the point of seeing spots and/or black. I almost didn’t make it out of the woods working one day.
