Age affects everyone differently.
Depends on the life you lived and how well you took care physically.
And some things you cant account for.
Thats pretty damn good at 65.
So count your blessings sonny

You know you are getting old when your wet dreams are re-runs.

You know your getting old
You know you're getting old when you wake up in the morning and find the your pajamas are on inside out and backwards- then you realize that that's probably how you put them on before you went to bed!

When it's -40 out and you get dressed and head outside to the garage and when you get there and can't remember why your out there. Then after about 30 seconds you remember.

It's not having to make lists of things that need be done so you don't forget, it's when you have to make a list of where you're lists are as you keep forgetting where you put them.
Three guys on a bench.
First guy, "It's windy today"
Second, "No, it's thursday"
Third, "Ya, I'm thirsty, too, let's go get a beer".

I am 44
I have no grey hairs and not a lot of complaints.I get a daily dose of radiation via work and my mindset is "if it does not kill you it makes you stronger"
I take stairs 2 at a time and I dont take the wussy route for hard work.Baddest patch for me was working for 2 weeks under a normal work load when I had all my right side ribs cracked.
I have not taken a sick day in 17 years and my goal is to never take one.If I can drag myself out of bed I am good to go and get the job done.
A bit of Tiger Balm here and there and the occasional visit to the Chiro as well as a painfull massage to get the muscles ripped out and I am good.

The last few yrs seem to be retribution for the many past sins I must have committed on my body. I just didn't know about more than a few of them.
Sneaky pains keep shifting around to places I've never offended, as far as I can ever remember. The ones I know about are probably orchestrating the whole affair.
And working with guys, when you remember what they are working on, that is older than them, going out as a new item. And they're all going "ask the old guy".

Ah those were the days. I felt the same way when I was 44. Then, a few years later, aging kicked in. All the abuses I subjected my body to for the sake of getting the job done caught up to me 
May I suggest you copy and print your post FTH? Then stick it on your fridge and come back in 20 years and tell us how you feel then.
I'm not complaining, life is pretty good, other than aches and pains now and then (more now than then anymore).
To add to the thread topic, you know you're getting old when ya gotta get up to 'go' 2 or 3 times a night!!! And that's without drinking any beer. I'm outta here, gotta go

You are getting old when your pacemaker makes the garage door go up and down and every cell phone to ring in a 100 yard radius when a gorgeous girl in a bikini walks by.... and nothing else!.....

I've been thrown from horses, been in numerous bike and truck wrecks, had trikes flip over on top of me, had steel planks hit me, all kinds of things over the years.
Still can do a decent days work however when I am down at the lake, but the worst is getting too far out of shape because I have been off the tools steady for so long.
What I think is a pretty good days work these days used to be taken in stride and not even noticed.
