[QUOTE="RMulhern, post: 1226707, member: 999"] I'm 76, played football six years and served Uncle Sam for seven years and had my arse run off toting an M1 Garand and a full backpack...plus!! I've climbed the Colorado mountains starting in 1960 and never missed a year for 20 years but those days are over. I'm still in good shape...still hunt with a backpack but I take it off when I get in this: [url=https://flic.kr/p/KA9JU7][img]https://c7.staticflickr.com/9/8537/28609807094_43f957353d_b.jpg[/img][/url][url=https://flic.kr/p/KA9JU7]Bumblebee[/url] by [url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/61286670@N08/]Rick Mulhern[/url], on Flickr And THAT is as high as I'm gonna get...or climb! My main 'workout' is holding down a recliner and sitting in a nice den with A/C during summer watching a baseball game an on occasion I pump the handle on the recliner so I can hike to the frig and retrieve a Sam Adams beer!
