I pull the handle instead of using the button on slot machines, my right arm is stronger than the left. :wink:

I hung up the skates around 42, as a goalie just couldn't hang with the 20-year olds anymore. And the hangovers in the morning were starting to get worse with all the crap beer people were bringing!
Have contemplated pickleball but I figure that would be the death knell to my athletic career so holding off as long as possible. Maybe I'll just get a wood stove and split logs all day, worked for Dad.
Similar, i tore up a knee and have a trashed back or i would still be riding enduro's and hare scrambles. Probably still be coming in mid pack or lower too.....Quote:

My twin brother once said-u wanna b in a wheel chair or play softball after I commented that I had progressed to seeing a chiropractor 3-4 times a month.
With a right leg shorter then the left my hip would go out trying to compensate when running bases and I’d be miserable for days but the trade off was it did stroke my ego a bit.
Got to be the trade off was not worth it and for 3 years now since no longer playing I typically see a chiropractor maybe twice a year and a lot less pain. Sucks to be old!
I'm looking into pickleball myself. Still play some golf.Quote:

Hockey Twice a week all year, pickle ball in the summer. Golf a few times a year, E-bike on Full throttle control only for ice fishing in the winter.
Hey breves,
sent you a pm
I still play 5 card pinochle and Scat.
I wasted a lot of good fishing time playing slow pitch softball for my church back about 20-30 years ago. Did it for the fellowship but hated it.
100%. Smiles are more important to me than anything.Quote:

Just make sure you jump off before their husbands get home!Quote:

I am 59 and still ride dirt bikes..Planned on doing a couple sprint Enduros this year but work and a lack of training made that more risky than it was worth..I think I've pretty well come to the realization that my racing days are over and will continue to trail ride and maybe hit a few open track practices until my body says stop..
Starts are always super risky...Hope you heal well and can maybe continue to trail ride..Quote:
