OR. You spend 1/2 the day looking for the tools you need to do the brakes. Stumble across the caulking gun and remember you're suppose to caulk around that window in the shop. Which explains why the caulk gun is in the shop, to begin with.

No, you know your getting old when you know you have a caulk gun but you forgot where it is. You go to Homey D, buy a new one and when you get home find the other one.
In the box with the other one you bought because you couldn’t find the one you’ve had for 20 years that was in the bottom of the box with the other one.

By that standard I must have been old at age 25.

You know you're getting old when you own 22 hammers and 13 axes of various kinds, 19 saws, and 27 ladders and step stools. And, you're still keeping jars of slotted screws and WW2 aircraft nuts and bolts because you just might need them someday.

When you break down and buy the battery powered caulk gun to go with your collection of the other caulking guns that you've bought because you couldn't find the first one because it's at the bottom of the box.

And you bought the battery powered one because squeezing a manual one makes your wrists hurt.

I have rechargeable pruning shears. Does that count?

Arthritis is a bitch.

[JohnnyDrama]

I figured I was getting old, or at least too old for landscaping, when it hurt to pick up a beer at the end of a day.

[Aloha_Shooter]

When that girl you were gaga over in your 20s reminds you of your mother.
When you start picking airplane seats based on proximity and ease of getting to the lavatory.
When people you see don't say it but you know they're thinking "for your age" when they say how good you look.
When the movies and TV shows you love are all being re-released in anniversary editions:25th, 30th, 40th ...
When you HAVE to carry reading glasses everywhere
