Why yes it does Adam. My eyes are horrible as far as being near sighted. It sucks getting old. :smiley_baby:

Probably doesn't help looking at papers, log books, and computer screens for as many hours a day as you do. Add in a small phone screen or an ipad and people are going to mess their eyes up quick. If they are not used to focus on ALL things near and far and in between the muscles don't get the correct exercise and don't work to focus correctly.

Amen to that my friend.

My eyes have continued to get worse as far as near sighted issues go. Can't thread a needle,work out a splinter or read fine/small print worth a shit these days! I need a pair of cheapo reading glasses but always forget to buy a pair when I'm out shopping cuz apparently my memory ain't worth two dead flies either! Oh well,sigh.......dang

54 but my eyes starting going to hell probably 6 years ago.

I have "Cheaters" placed every where. Couple at home and I believe I have 2 pair in my truck at all times. Sigh........

55 for me. I tried bi focals & they're not my friend. The only other real problem I have is my sciatica. It's been a pain off & on since 30. Oh yeah, my shoulder is messed up a bit again, though it's manageable. My wife has gotten older, does that count as a problem ?? lol

I think it's time to start my Amish style deer beard…Been a few days since I've shaved and I just got my hair cut so it just seems like the right time to cut it in.

Beard is the best it's ever been. Starting to cover up the throat a little. Should be even better in a couple months!

I just trimmed mine up 3 inches, went from almost 11 inches to 8 inches. And trimmed the mustache a little bit which I regret!! Letting it go now till May with no trimming. Will post a pic later of the trim
