[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 3092289, member: 109862"] Hahahah that reminds me of something a little over 10 years ago when my dad still farmed and I was in college…well one summer day me and my friend were at the farm and were helping him shovel out grain bins, the old school flat bottom kind. At that point he was 63 and my friend and I were 20 and 21 and my dad absolutely TRASHED us in terms of how much grain he was moving, he had the old man strength but even more so the technique and efficiency that came with having done this sort of thing for a very long time. My friend wasn't in as good a shape as me cardio wise and was visibly winded and red when we got done the first bin…and I saw out of the corner of my eye, my dad standing there with his grain scoop cool as a cucumber and just looking at us trying to catch our breath…. and he had the most SMUG grin on his face I had ever seen, didn’t say a word just stood there grinning which somehow was even worse!!!! 🤣 My friend expressed his surprise at how my dad could go that hard at his age haha…but my dad was honest about one thing and said "years of experience…but the difference is you boys probably won't feel a thing tomorrow and I will for three days now" [/QUOTE]
