Just realised this will be my 2000th post. It's taken me nearly 15 years. I think I've grown into my nom de guerre but I don't feel any older: just still old.

It's a scary thought in a way, isn't it ? this getting older business. Physically when we look in a mirror, or the expression on other folks faces 
we can see that we're getting older, but honestly we don't feel any different. We're still just us, iimmc ?
Age is just a number, if you don't mind, it don't matter
Here's to the next 15/ 2000

It's not me in the mirror - it's some old g*t.
I think that would be the number one reason for growing a beard; I wouldn't have to look in a mirror in the morning!

I have taken it as a game, I invent ways to go around the limitations imposed by age. So far the only thing I have not been able to conquer is lifting weights, one can always use machinery but that is different. That probably'll remain unsolved.
This is where younger fitter people come in handy. I can't lift the 20kg bags of coal I get delivered so my neighbours lad will come and shift them for me.
This week he has put up a hanging basket bracket by the front door and put two bolts on front and two on back door +moved 4 bags of coal to a handier location bless him.
Cost a four pack of larger. All done inside half an hour. Would have taken me many hours!

Gosh wish I was still 40! I was having fun caving climbing abseiling coastal path walking and camping with no problems whatsoever I was so fit and realy believed I'd still be fit at 70.
22 yrs later I'm a wreck. 22 yrs seems like a long time but I've been sinking for at least 15 of those years! Slowly at first but one day you realise you are struggling a bit with something that you once did without any thought.
Realy frustrating!

Tradition is for a compo on the big post counts, generally folk offer up a gift, a knife, carved spoon, daughter or similar.
OK . First one who guesses what the gift will be gets it.
Clue 1 I haven't got a daughter!

What are you saying? something past its prime, dysfunctional and beyond redemption?
Clue 3: Nice65 won't get a sharp response from me but I'm not going to spoon feed anyone either.
The clues so far say what it isn't. This clue says what it is.
Clue 4:This is the last clue, only hints from now on if necessary.
