The good news for 4x4ord, is 60 is not old! You have a whole 10 yrs to go, before officially "old fart" league. Even then, there are many spry 70+ men out there enjoying life, maybe just a little slower.
Wonder if AmzOil might help with thinning hair?? My color is not too bad yet.

60 , old , not hardly .![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/biggrin.gif "biggrin") I was pretty gray at 40 ,white at 50 , but still have most of it. ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/smile.gif "smile") In all honesty 60 was not a thought as far as old goes . Now 70 , the aging process is starting to show a little ,mostly as you say a bit slower . I notice it the most wading a river fishing , now I don't wade as deep ,and yes I do use a wading stick now . We will see how 80 goes ,closer to it now than 70 . ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/frown.gif "frown") I fish with a couple guys that are in their 80's still getting it done .

Some of us just didn't do well in the genetic lottery. Hereditary bad shoulders and marginal back as well as Type 2. Surgery on R shoulder about 2 decades back, facing another one, most likely, but the L one is worse, now. Bad rotator, torn tendon and, likely tore a muscle tightening down a car seat for one of the grands. :-(

I do the same thing. I am 67 years young.

I get it done with the help of an awesome son-in-law who does the heavy lifting, as needed. We were working on the truck 'n trailer just today.

Hey Lyle, how can you possibly be working on that fancy new truck? What needs doing, maybe wash/wax. Trailer for sure, been working on mine since the day I brought it home new. Most recent, reseal entry door glass.
Hope you and family are enjoying the whole rig!

Thanks, Jerry. Actually, we raised the pinbox 2 holes to it's highest holes. Then we lowered the Companion 1 hole. Went from 1.4 degrees nose high to 1.0, according to the leveling panel. About 4" difference in 17' from just behind the JT mounts back to behind the rear Jack's. Gives me about 6.75" of bed clearance.
The other thing we did was to install an extra step on my Glowsteps. I will be updating my original review of them in the next couple days.
