old age or onset of a flare up?

Today with the last of the good weather I managed to take down the gazebo for the winter...

Now I'm feeling exhausted.

So is it the start of a flare up, old age, or the thought of a long winter ahead.

Well the lathe is not going to refurbish itself... so time to go

"So is it the start of a flare up, old age, or the thought of a long winter ahead."

I had that too about 20 years ago and didn't think much of it at the time but now in hindsight, I can definitely say it was the start of old age. Apparently it is terminal so watch out and take care of yourself. Metal working hobbies are helpful in slowing its progress.

Your hair is not grey yet...
 
The older you get, the longer the list of crap that could be flaring up.
On the other hand, you only get old if you're lucky.
Already older than my older brother.

Getting old is not for sissies.

They say that death is seldom a single event, rather life is taken away a little at a time.
