Like they say, the difference between Men and Boys is the price of their toys.
Or hunting and golfing…
I am a triple threat 😂🤦🏼♂️

I wasn't doing too bad till I got into bass fishing.
I remember when I was content with sitting on my butt n waiting fish to bite.

Ouch…I played softball for 18 years and never paid more than $30 for a bat! Then again, my Wilson A2000 glove cost me $42 and they are now about $350.00
I retired when the $300.00 DeMarini bats came out and the line drives were flying past me at 120mph. I decided that raising my boys was more important than a pitcher of beer and a free t shirt. I still miss it, but there are so few leagues nowadays (around here, anyway), plus the new hip and shoulder remind me of the past…
I can still play catch with the Grandkids, though! More than enough for me!

I remember Brody n Clay. Had the DeMarini n other brands.
I went to a tournament with Brody one time. Bats over $500 n like you said. Gloves are expensive brother.
I use to play softball n volleyball. Luvd it. Took awhile to figure out how bad I hurt the next day.
Told Brody do it while you can boy.
I still miss all that. That's the hard part about aging. Giving up things we enjoyed to miss the pain.
Fishing doesn't hurt too bad 🤣🤣

Used to play Wallyball Griz, which is indoor volley ball in a racquet ball court. Wall usage was fair game slamming the ball off the wall. That will keep you on your toes too.
Next day you realize 40 is OLD.

😁 Last time I played volleyball at a pig roast I had fun. Rode the bike so I'm wearing jeans n riding boots.
Next morning I made it from bed to sofa. That's where I stayed.
My back was so locked it it hurt to breath. That was after I tore some muscle in my back. Never healed 100%.
Combination back brace n belly holster 👍

100% Truth right here!!! If the Wifey only knew what I've been putting into the boat, she'd be all over me like an IRS audit!!!

I just finished modifying the motor tie bar between the main and the kicker this evening as soon as I got home, drilled and put in the final kicker mounting bolts, embedded 3 new access panels in sealant, and ordered another box of stainless screws.. The fabricator for the Pilothouse is working on materials THIS WEEK!! I may have materials here by next week!! (Not sure how I'm gonna hide this....LOL!!)
All I can ask... Please say a few kind words at my FUNERAL!!
