I don't know about you guys but...
I've had a rough winter! I got Covid at the end of November and couldn't stop coughing until sometime in Jan! Then my wife and I caught a respiratory virus at the beginning of January and that we were suffering from until a week and a half ago.It was bad enough that my wife had to be treated for pneumonia. Life sucks when you get old!
I sure hope you all have been healthy!

Don, we moved in November, late. No hunting for me, and plenty of let’s say fun. Got a blow out on my truck moving day, only took three days for the tire to arrive. Got sick from grand kids twice. Anyway, glad we’re both on the other side of that. Getting old ain’t for sissies. ![Naughty :eusa-naughty:](./images/smilies/eusa/naughty.gif)

Yep, we also got a virus from our 2 yr old grandson who was sick. We took him for 10 days while his mother was giving birth. He seemingly recovered in a week. Granted he got steroids but it is amazing that a kid that young is so much more resilient!

So I'm not the only one that's ready to flush 2024 down the toilet.
I owned a nice little white Mustang to make my commute more enjoyable until Mother Nature decided to deposit a neighbor's pine tree on top of it in early January. >$14K in damages so the Insurance Co decided to total it.

While we were outside in the dark assessing the damage, another gust of wind snapped off the only two pine trees in my yard and deposited them mostly in my back yard through my fence. They took down two other trees on the way down. Except for minor fence repair it could have turned out a lot worse. Here's a view of the back yard portion that needed cleanup. I had a couple 20ft tall posts left to drop.

I had a return bout with COVID a few weeks ago and my wife is just getting over COVID from last week. On Monday we completed the last of the tree cleanup by hauling ten truckloads of split firewood to my daughter's house. There haven't been many restful nights in my house so far this year.
But, on the bright side, an investment in a bigger chainsaw made quick work of what was previously a harder task.

And the replacement wheels make the whole situation seem like a fair trade.

Ho Don
Sorry to hear about your bout with covid. I have been positive 4x now. It seems to be less severe every time I get it. Either I'm lucky or my immune system is learning how to fight it off.![😀](//twemoji.maxcdn.com/2/svg/1f600.svg)
At age 55 I'm having some joint issues but am dealing with that with diet and exercise...
It does suck getting old!!!! Lol

A touch of frost has heightened your awareness and your heart steadily beats in anticipation. Your senses are suddenly alert to the movement on the forest floor and you realize that the moment of truth is at hand.

Duckhunt, I like to think that I really take care of my vehicles. That would have been really depressing, replacement vehicle or not! I would probably have cried myself to sleep!
Jeff, just wait! You're 55 but at 70 I'm a hurting unit some days. I just had x-rays on my knees and right thumb and my Dr wants to talk to me in 2 weeks about them as well as the blood test results
My Dr was talking about steroid shots for my thumb joints
. I ran the end of my thumb into my tractor bucket twice in 2 weeks 4 or 5 yrs ago and the occasional pain stops me in my tracks! I just about fell to my knees on the second hit! ![Crazy :crazy:](./images/smilies/icon_crazy.gif)
Covid? That's the first time and I do not want it again!

That sucks. Getting up there in age just makes we appreciate the saying about being on the right side of the grass.

Re: I don't know about you guys but...
I'll agree, 2024 has been a bear already!!
Just got "The Boss" out of the hospital last week. Respiratory ailment turned into pneumonia. She was in the hospital 3 days.
I was helping someone move, tripped over a rug and fell headlong into a wall. My head hit first, almost knocked me out. My neck has hurt since then. Doctor looked at me and said, "Old Age".
I said, "Thanks a lot"!!
Y'all be careful out there!!!
I'm pretty sure life doesn't like Old Folks!!

Re: I don't know about you guys but...
well.....We left Texas Aug. 30th and flew to Anchorage. We did some sight seeing the next day there then got on a shuttle to go to Seward, to catch a cruise ship to Vancouver. Always wanted to do this and had lots of shore excursions planned. Getting out of the shuttle I JACKED my left knee. I managed to hobble to the ship, and got to the ships Dr. in a wheelchair. Ships Dr. not much help except to get me some crutches.( Oh BOY!) I got back to our cabin and the intercom sounded, This is the Captain. Due to a mechanical problem with propulsion, Royal Carribean has decided to cancel the cruise. So we are 130 miles from Anchorage with no flight home ( flight home was supposed to be from Vancouver) and Im on crutches. My bride got us back to Anchorage and on a plane with me being zero help. We got home and I got an appointment with my orthopedic Dr. and set a date to get my left knee replaced, Nov 1st. Surgery went well, I did my rehab, and.... Knee is sort of ok... It is NOT great. I didnt go back to work until mid January, and the new knee does not like my job!!! AT ALL!! I am still doing my exercizes and hoping to get more flexibility. Needless to say hunting season was pretty much a bust. So... I am looking forward to spring turkey season and going to see how far this thing will walk. AND, I glad Im not as old as Boo.
