At the ripe old age of 53

[Hamloc]

Hey Mallee we are the same age! During the winter I like a five min nap after lunch, any longer and I get groggy and hard to wake up. Once seeding starts no more naps until winter again unless it is raining and not much going on.

Yup 53 is a good age, just hit it this month. Between 3 and 4 the head nods happen. 10-15 minute nap fixes that lol.

I am alittle older than you but many times I find 10 or 15 minutes makes a huge difference. Sometimes, parked on a headland with my head on a steering wheel. Seeding or harvest.

I say if it helps do it.

65 model, they say they weren't as good as the 64's...a bit of a lemon, I guess that's why I'm so bitter.

Power naps are good when you need them.

I don't like the physical limitations that are coming with aging. Things started changing at about 48 for me. Now I am beginning to understand what my dad was talking about.

No more jumping off equipment, a little unsure about footing crawling around on equipment, vision issues....focusing. Otherwise decent shape....just need to remember I'm not 30 anymore! Time to start acting my age...lol. Probably just a number anyway but the body will dictate what I can do, and it's already got more influence than my mind.

Stay safe. Don't be "care-less, be "care-full.

Holy crap.i am 61 and feel awesome..no naps..just go..
Big thing is stay fit in the off season..loose the gluten for lunch and you will not need a nap..
Weigh the same as I did at 16...
Can out run my kids.

hey partners sounds like your in good shape legend wish I was , 3 rounds of shoulder surgery hip replacement and one knee surgery I'm worse for wear.....

to much sport and motor bikes and crazy shit in my youth

not sure who said it but I felt like crap maybe I napped to long.

watch a movie on tv at 8.30 at night has to be good or I'm dozing by 9.15.

funny though combine or seeder at night doesn't bother me but between 3 and 4 in afternoon I get noddy usually have a walk coffee or phone call I'm all good.

but yeah my dad must have done it for at least 20 yrs half hour after lunch every day.

sorry about lack of capitals and sentence structure but sure good to have a break from weather markets climate or politician threads cheers guys
