What made you realize you weren't young anymore?

Yesterday the thought crossed my mind that the built-in tailgate step and bumper step on a pick up bed might actually be nice to have. 😳

I went to jump out of the bed of my truck onto the sidewalk while I was in Moab last weekend. It’s something I’ve done countless times but this time my foot caught on something and I dragged my shin over the bedside and launched myself towards the ground face first, breaking the fall with my hands and shoulder. I thought I was going to be dead because of my advanced age but I walked away uninjured. I guess what I’m saying is your stupid tailgate step can suck it, my antics are keeping me young 🤣

My thoughts came as I stepped off the flatbed in wet shoes onto my wet ball hitch. It’s a pretty good drop down, and a full commitment to step down that way. I’ve always done it, but each time I do I feel my luck running out. One of these days I’m going to miss or slip and go face down like you did.

But it doesn’t keep me going like it does you. I take a week just to recover from stupid stuff like twisting a door knob the wrong direction.

This one pushed me into dusty old fart status for sure. A phone mount in my Jeep. I just installed it and it’s the first time I’ve ever had one.

I'm just feeling a Joe Biden level of confusion. I thought phone holders were a younger crowd thing? Now you're saying it makes you old? I don't have one. And I don't feel young. You do have one, and I know you are young. So, just, WTF?

I feel like I should make a speech about Angola or something to bring this all together. Or just ask, WTF are you talking about youngster?
