life lesson
found a great deal on a riptide today. got off early to get it so someone else wouldn't beat me to it. talking to the guy about it and he's telling me about how he use to free line for stripers in the river, backing down real slow and catching his share. oh how this guy loved fishing until he got hurt and couldn't go. my selfish A$$ just wanted to get the address and get this thing. well when i got there, this fellow was laying flat on his back, with a nurse hovering above him. he had to have everything done for him. he couldn't even hold his smoke. well this time when he talked about fishing i heard him.......
folks if you ever hear old simpleman whinning about being old, or aches and pains,or the wind.....hit me real hard and remind me i'm still walking and fishing every week. i think this fellow would trade places with me bad knees,back,teeth and all. i hope when i take this boat out or see that trolling motor i think of this fellow who i'm sure wishes he was going after them one more time,and how lucky that i am, still able to go. if this needs to be in ot sorry....

I feel what you are sayingThumbs Up. Sometimes I amaze myself at how worked up I can get over things that don't matter. I am getting better at it as I get older I have noticed.

Very well said SIMPLEMAN. I don't have anything else to add to that.
I have seen tragic things such as this many times in my life.
Praise the Lord for each and every day of good health to enjoy the
gift of life... which is over in just a blinking of the eye.

Yea, I'm guilty of taking life for granted too often.
Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.

I've been in the hospital with a kidney stone, they blasted it but I believe something is wrong, the pain level in my lower back and side is still to intense for that have gotten it all. I am about doubled over in pain.
But like Simple said, no matter how bad we ache...there is someone else hurting worse. Good point Simple
