Hello. I grew up on a mid-west dairy farm, but spent my working career in the iron foundry industry in IT, engineering, maintenance, and quality systems. My wife started out on a farm and worked in variety of jobs as well. That experience plus our interests and hobbies taught us many valuable skills. My wife and I are now both retired and hope to share what we've learned in a way that is both entertaining and useful to a wide audience. Our goal is to provide information relevant to people across multiple life stages, retired or not. Topics will include retirement, remaining healthy at any age, and staying engaged in meaningful activities with specific tips on things like cooking, repairs, construction, and travel. Thanks for checking in. (Disclaimer: This channel is meant for entertainment and to share ideas only.

My winter running plan at age 69 #runningmotivation #running #seniorfitness
Let’s go for a run!
Join me as I embark on winter training for a ½ marathon coming up in April. A lifelong bicycler, I took up running at 54 as a new challenge. I completed my first full marathon at age 57 and 4 more after that plus several 5k, 10k, and ½ marathon runs since 2009. I slacked off for the last couple of years after retirement and now must start the long road back to running shape. Even if you're still young, you may find some of the info useful if you're thinking of starting a running program. Follow along to see how I do and how I do it.
Note that I’m not promoting any of the specific items used in the video. They are what I used at the time and other comparable things may work just as well.
Remember as always, no matter what you’re doing, safety first! Make sure you’re healthy enough to run before you set out on a running program.
Thanks for watching!

Pffernüsse (peppernuts): The small cookies packed with flavor. There seems to be no end to the kinds of baked goods made for the Christmas holiday season, but one of our favorites are Pffernüsse, known in English as peppernuts. I make ours using the recipe my German grandmother used that I remember as a kid. They’re very spicey and a bit hard, so they’re great with coffee. We make and store the...

House Refresh Part 6: Replacing an Outside Faucet
I enjoyed the content very much and am envious with stand situation. I need to walk about a mile to my stand.
As I started to watch your video I immediately thought of my Dad but quickly realized that it was really about me. I was 15 when my Dad died in 1972. (You can do the math) I’ve only missed one opening day and that was last year as I was recuperating from a shoulder replacement. I’m so thankful for those few years I had to hunt with him. Thank you for a terrific video.
Your first mistake was not getting a DR, Agra fabs are junk
Really liked your video---very thorough! I have over 160 trees shedding leaves on 5-acres and after 13 years of agony with the Agri-Fab I sold it and bought a used Trac Vac 580. WOW, Huge difference. So much so that I made a side-by-side comparison video. It's on my channel if you care to check it out.
Thanks for watching and your comments. I will check out your comparison video and channel. It was great to hear your feedback as someone else who publishes videos.
I checked it out an commented. Great thorough comparison. Thanks
All us old hunters know exactly how you feel
Thanks for watching and commenting.
I loved it, great video. I love to hunt. Its been in my family for years too. I am getting older also and not hunting as much. I don't have to kill the biggest deer. I am blessed if I get one every year. I've got a seven pointer already this year so that will be enough deer for me to eat until next season. I will hunt some more and now I can be more picky. I will continue to hunt as long as I can. After my dad died ten years ago, I did know how I was going to hunt the season coming up. A few months before the season started I was at the old farm and saw two large bucks running together. That made me want to continue and hunt that year. Thanks again. God bless.
Wow, pretty much same thing here. Used to look forward to those hunting trips with my buddies each year, all of us vets. The week we would spend at hunting camp was the best. What a time at camp. We hunted the first week of the muzzleloader season. Unfortunately a few have moved away and to many have passed on. Last time I hunted was 2020. Took a nice 8 point. Our last hunting camp was in 2022. There were only three of us on that trip. I went that year as well as the year before just for the camaraderie. Lost the other two friends the next year. I could always hunt right behind my house by myself but have lost the taste or hunting. Just wouldn’t be the same.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I'm sorry to hear about your hunting friends. As things change, we move on to new things.
How many deer have you harvested in that spot?
Thanks for watching and commenting. I don't recall a count, but not many. Very few around each year and it's often just the "yard deer" that know me, so I just ignore them.
Really enjoyed your video. Best of luck in your upcoming half marathon
Thanks for watching and you comments.
Great video, but Cyclone Rake XL is less work when dump
Thanks for your recommendation. I'll check it out.
Deer hunting isn’t for everyone and if it was easy everyone would be doing it. You can learn something new everyday and the memories are priceless.
Word for word for me. Same age. All my uncles, grandfather, and dad are gone. Lost my wife 18 years ago. Just not the same with them gone. Thanks for your video it was great.
Thanks for watching and sharing your story. I'm finding that many of us have a lot in common.
Absolutely beautiful. May God bless you and yours and your season
Thanks for watching and commenting. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Precious Memories take me back to the good old days
I go through the same every season
GREETINGS,, from Ireland ☘✌
Fantastic! Thanks for saying hello.
I noticed that your channel has amazing content, especially videos like "[My winter running plan at age 69 #runningmotivation #running #seniorfitness]." But I can see that the views and subscribers aren’t growing as quickly as they should. 😔 This is actually a common issue with UA-cam's new algorithm changes.

Thanks!
That's pretty good I've always taped my shoe string etcetera to a coat hanger and ran it through and bend the coat hanger zip tie probably works better good job
Another great season. Some of my best hunting year memories I have were just lke this. That's why it's called hunting and not shooting.
Just 50??
Looks delicious thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Great video and story. Thanks for sharing. Grew up in northeastern Illinois spent a lot of time up in your neck of the woods.
Thanks for watching and commenting! I recall having a lot of hunters from Illinois in the area when we hunted near the Dells and Portage years ago. It was always a popular spot.
I am 66 and started deer hunting in 1972 with my dad. It was always just him and I hunting on farmland we had gained permission to use. As we grew older, I became the one who would pick dad up early in the morning. It was a sad and empty opening day the first year my dad decided he could no longer hunt due to poor health. Now I have 4 grandsons who hunt, we are blessed to have our own 60 acres and a small cabin to hunt out of. The boys are my main reason to hunt now as my desire to kill a deer has diminished. I still enjoy being out in the woods remembering years gone by, seeing the sunrise and hoping the grandsons have success. Many hunters like us are aging out and slowing down or not hunting at all anymore. We must encourage and mentor our sons and daughters and grandchildren so that the sport of hunting can continue on making memories for generations to come.
Thanks for watching and sharing your story. It sounds like you've had some great experiences with your family that should continue.
Thank You! I am going to try them!
You're welcome. I hope you enjoy them.
From Wilkes County North Carolina Never too late good luck and God bless you Merry Christmas to you and your wife
Thanks for watching and commenting, I have no plans to stop until I just can't anymore. I love the challenge. Merry Christmas to you as well!
A pitch fork my word for the unload.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Very similar experience in Northern Michigan eastern end
I am 64 and now in my 50th season. Tomorrow I help bury my best friend hunting/fishing buddy for the last 35 years. He was 76. Decorated VV, I will miss his so much. I must report that myself and my son have had a stellar season ,both connecting on bucks and bears , bonus of hogs and coyotes and a bobcat. We have good places to hunt . I will be back after the ducks on the 19th when the split season resumes. Hang in there Buddy, we never know how many more opening days we will have.
Thanks for watching and sharing your story. I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. It appears though that you're in a great hunting area and should continue good hunting.
Thanks for this video I’m in the boat as you I still hunt for deer but don’t go as far as I once did and most of hunting buddies have gone now but like to think about the good times we had when I’m at my deer stand and it brings a smile on my face
Thanks for watching and sharing your experience.
After 50 yrs still don't know a magazine from a clip.
Thanks for watching and commenting. It's an old habit and I don't even recall where I picked it up. I do know they are technically different.
If everyone that hunted were like you , the experience would be so much better! Good luck this season!!
Thanks for watching and commenting.
good lookng cookies
Thanks. They're small but tasty.
Shorten the discharge chute so it doesn't drag on the ground.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Yes, it is longer than necessary and I plan to deal with that. I left it as is for this first use.
If I make them for the first time this year, can I go ahead and eat/share some now? Or do they absolutely need to sit for 1 year? Thanks for the video! My family is not German but I've long wanted to try making Pffernusse.
Thanks for watching and asking. Yes, absolutely, you can eat them now. They will be flavorful and a bit more tender. They get very hard in storage.
@ thank you!
The best deer hunting video ever. Good luck my friend.
Thanks for watching and commenting! I appreciate the feedback. Good luck to you as well.
I'll sample last year's batch in a couple of weeks.
As people have grown older and passed on Deer Camp is no more for me as well. I still hunt but not quite the same feeling. I got my first buck with a Remington 7400. We would also have chili on opening day. I miss that experience immensely.
Thanks for watching and sharing your memories. Chili just seems like the right thing to have.
Started hunting at 13 so this season makes 41 years deer hunting for me. Remember that crisp cold morning back in '83 well. Only missed one opening morning in those 41 years. You mentioned the comradery in the early years and that brought back a lot of memories. I, like you, hunted with family in my early days and those are some of my best memories. Also, like you, I hunt alone now and actually have for the biggest part of my hunting days. But definitely, one of the reasons I still do this is for the tradition. Not a hunt goes by that I don't think of those early hunting years with my father, grandfather, and cousin. Usually, it's some hunting advice my father or grandfather gave me like you want to be cold walking in so not to sweat or hunt all the way to the truck. Both of those pieces of advice have paid off over the years. Hope to keep at it a few more years and hope you do as well, sir. Enjoyed your video and good luck to you!
Thanks for watching and sharing your story. Walk slowly and don't work up a sweat. That's something I forgot to mention but I always remember to do if I am outside in the winter for any length of time and walking any distance. Unless you're not going to stop, you don't want to overheat right off the bat.
I can appreciate your thoughts. I'm 59 now been hunting since I was 12. Shot my first deer at 13. All the elders from hunting camp are gone and so is the camp. I only have contact with one gentleman. And I actually shot that first deer with him. Anyway I have thoughts of giving hunting up sometimes. But then the air changes and the smells wake me up in the fall and I'm back at it. Thanks for sharing this video. Was very nice.
Thanks for sharing your story and watching. There will likely be enough things over time that we have to stop doing because we can't, so one may as well keep doing something they've done for a long time that they're still able to do.
Great video. I’m sure it gets harder hunting as you get older and lose hunting friends, but always hope to keep the legacy alive for future generations.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Times and situations change and I just move forward with them.
I enjoyed your experience and knowledge. I’m also jealous of your location. Thanks and enjoy.
Thanks for watching and commenting! Glad you enjoyed the video.
thank love it like my dad is back god bless you
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Stay on your toes!
Absolutely. Minimizes the impact.
You deer hunt like the packers 😂 go lions ! 🦁
We got lots of tuem here in NW Florida. They are small, but in plenty. Bagged a couple and a hog
Why is this video 40 minutes long. All of this could have been condensed in 10 minutes.
Thanks for watching anyway and for the advice. It's apparent I have room for improvement in future videos.
Starting hunting with my soon to be brother in law when I was 20. I’m 49 now. Haven’t missed an opening day since until this year. My new 5 month old grandbaby stayed the weekend with us. We spent the morning on the porch watching the sun come up together. Best opening day ever! Got a buck 3 weeks later, and the freezer is full. God is good!
Thanks for watching and sharing your story.
Give me the pfeffernussy
Awesome .can't wait to watch ur progress
Thanks. It's been a year since I've done any amount of running, so this should be interesting.
