I'm 63, 6' and 200#... As I sit here nursing my thumb with 5 stitches, I have compound fractured my leg, broken 6 transverse process bones in my lower back, broken elbow, broke both big toes, ankle, nose 3 times, cheekbone, ribs, and hand... I think that's it, I have a really good memory, but it's not very long. I haven't been easy on myself. I guided elk hunts for 20 years ( my vacation ), worked in the oil & gas industry for 38 years, cowboy for hire and I'm a sorry team roper! I am an avid coyote hunter as well. What I've noticed the last few years is I'm not as agile as I used to be, aches and pains last longer, it's harder to stay in shape, and the weight is harder to maintain. I'm not cordninuff nated to ride rough horses Crap ..don't know what I did here( not a computer guy). Anybody that has cowboyed or worked racehorses etc are usually crooked..crooked back,toes,collarbone,hip, shoulders etc.They don't x-ray good.
But it is good club.
Do any of you folks Century rope?
(For those who don't know, the header and heeler's age together has got to be 100 years to enter)
They can be tough ropings too. Anyways, keep going guys, we get only one good go at this thing in life. This isn't the practice pen. God Bless Antonio M
