We have less days/ hours going forward then we have behind us, so wake up and stop wasting them. Enjoy yourself and bring enjoy to the people around you. Thanks Boss.

    I'LL be 80 in 2 months and it sounds old but it's not really a time to slow down. The things I can no longer do don't really matter, because I still have enough things to do that I enjoy. You see as you get older you can do some things that you didn't have patience for. I just love life and it's full of Gods gifts and they are free. Just getting up in the morning and taking a deep breath on the back porch is a gift of pure air and birds and squirrels running around and chattering, the rustle of the leaves as the breeze says hello. I could go on but you know what I mean. Love all your video's my friend, I hope all will be good for you and praying for your health. You are a rich man, you have a good partner and a great pup, and most of all you have faith in the Lord, those are things that money can't buy but when you have them you have as much or more the richest on earth.

    Hey boss! I agree with what you said about losing interest in things you used to enjoy in your younger years. My dad will be 70 on Saturday. As a kid growing up I saw him living and breathing hunting and fishing, teaming his oxen and cutting wood and just doing stuff he enjoyed. In the past 20 years he's slowly gotten away from almost all of his hobbies. It worries me that I'm gonna lose my interests as well, I'll be 50 in August. I still love hunting and fishing but its getting harder to find hunting spots that's not already being hunted. I do have to somehow get away from working so much. I sure hope you're gonna be ok with your health issues. Have a great time with your brother.

    I hear very often “I wish I could do what you’re doing, but I am too old now.” “I wish I had done what you’re doing when I was younger.” “How will you live this way when you’re older?” I can understand these feelings but the way I see it is that age is just a number and youth is a state of mind. I am no spring chicken mind you, but I refuse to allow life to slow me down and live my life by one motto: mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter. The work around my cabin and homestead keeps my body fit and my mind active. You said it best “focus on life and try to enjoy what you have left of it. Do the things you used to do. Stop ‘working’ so much.” Enjoy life! Life is too short as it is to work or worry it away. 😊 Wishing you all the best with your health and happiness.

    Sorry to hear that you have had some health issues Boss sending prayers, You will get through this. Very epic that the bush camp is still holding strong through the weather. It is good to keep going when your older that is what I am doing I am also not ready to give up as yourself. I am 66 going on 67 . Keep up enjoying what you love to do Boss.
