We ask you in ten years

I’ll be 67 in 10 years , hopefully I’ll still be kicking

I retired with 35 years January of 2021. Other than a little basal joint arthritis in my thumbs from the early diads I have no issues. I also never ran, always used three points of contact, walked backwards out of the package car and never carried more than what I felt for me was optimal. It’s a marathon not a sprint.

Why walk backwards? Do tell……

 

[Over70irregs]

I had 32 in package. My left knee isn't great but I can't say it's pain, more like
constant annoyance.

One thing nobody ever mentions but my hearing is horrible. I'm sure it's from
being in those old package cars that had the engine right there in the cab with
you. Especially those old 400's.

Bulkhead door slamming kills your hearing over time.

Easier on your knees. I don’t understand why but an older driver told me to try it a few years back and it worked.
Drop the box on the deck and proceed

I know this is about a year and a half too late, but congratulations on your retirement and I hope it’s been everything you thought it would be! @soberups

Using three points of contact and exiting the car backwards takes stress off of your knees and ankles. It’s also lower impact than walking out.

I remember telling someone that but they thought I was crazy.

What?

Metal slam decibels add up. Even with auto close I pad jam. I also wear plugs.

What are the butt plugs for?

What are the butt plugs for?

To stuff in Dave's mouth when he starts having a one sided conversation with you? Maybe would shut him up?

It's a lot better than dropping a piano on your foot
