Paul, you are so right, it does get tougher with age but will always be
in your blood. I still do everything myself but never more that a metre
or 2 above ground level. It takes ages for old toppies to heal. Two
friends of mine had severe bruising & broken arms. One fell off a ladder
while cleaning his gutters & the other off the edge of his empty
swimming pool which he was about to paint. Both were fitters who had
progressed to Foreman level.

Larry -
Doing your own repairs can be a royal pain in the ass sometimes,
but...revel in the fact that you can still do it. As you get older
you'll find that the repairs you make still give you the satisfaction
of completing them, but they take longer to accomplish. But...even
more difficult...is admitting to yourself "I have the skills; I have
the tools, but I can't do this anymore." It took me until about 75 to
begin to give up on some household repairs, and now, nearly 5 years
later it's still difficult. When you spend a lifetime working with
"the tools" maybe it never goes away. Marcia has finally convinced me
to stay off the roof. 😁
Back to photography...the turkey pix, I think, are better in this
series than the last. 39960 is a pretty classic tom turkey look and
39968 - the tom with is harem of hens is fun.

Not unless you count taking photos of the busted fanblade in my

I did waste a few megapixels on local fauna yesterday: turkeys,
juncos, a robin and a couple of cows. If you’re already bored nearly
into a coma this may be slightly less boring:

There are two flocks of turkeys on my ride around the block. This is
the small flock on the near side of the hill.
