yeah, I saw the those clips you posted. excellent.

But mine kept your arms strong! lol

yeah..well I'm a wusss.

I think I far outstrip you in the wuss department.lol ...my hardy farming days are a memory.

could be..
I WAS pretty strong. I used to toss around oak timbers used for dunnage and half inch chains.
Then old age set in...
alas..
I'm but eighty seven thousand shadows of my former self.

I was never pretty strong (relative to my relatives...lol).

I was also seen as 'the slacker' relative to my relatives.

Then I joined the real world and realized how the opposite was actually true (relative to my non relatives)

My relatives were just workhorses, and I never knew it. Tough people.

I'm but eighty seven thousand shadows of my former self.

I remember those days- when I was only eighty seven thousand shadows of my former self ! lol

sigh...those were the good old days...pales by comparison.
