Lol, yup I know what you mean. I'll be 71 the last day of this month but with the help of meds I still feel great, no thanks to the 5 or 6 small cigars I inhale daily. Hope you caught more than just your hat.

We are in same boat except I quit smoking in 1968. I was 71 on last Birthday..
Yeah, it sucks. But at least you didn’t fall and break a hip.
That is something that never crossed my mind and it should have, my mom fell and broke her hip on 9/11 and was in hospital in Va during the 9/11 attack. I know how much pain she was in and how long the recovery was.
You got that. I'm 60 and what used to be an easy cart trip to get split wood up the hill is starting to be a real effort.
I know what you mean, had wood stove when I lived in Missouri, use to cut and split my own wood.
Ya need thumbtacks. Or a chinstrap.
Do NOT borrow one of your wife's bras...
Congrats on the hundred yard dash. You're way ahead of me!
Hat had chin strap, but the wind gusts were 25-30 mph, my back was to wind and flipped my hat forward into river before I knew what was happening.
You did good, check with the state health department before you eat the fish.
Fish are good, we are catching spanish mackerel, mangro snapper, blue fish, pompano, black drums and blue crabs from there.
Was a 100 yard sprint ever easy? Not for me. Hated them then, hate them even more now, not that they’re any longer in the realm of possibility.
Glad you saved your hat.

I use to enjoy running, I was fastest in my platoon in basic training, also ran 5 miles a day 5 days a week when I was in martial arts, I studied Taekwondo for 8 years, made 2nd degree black Belt and fought 3 times a week.
LOL At least you Still had the Energy & The Mind to Run
Personally the Second it was out of reach, all that would have crossed my mind was Home, Store, or Ebay
Will probably be my choice next time, just didnt want to go rest of day with no hat and wasnt ready to go home.
Hmmm... after reading all these posts... you all have got me a little worried... SO... I am gonna start practicing up my casting abilities now.
Maybe even brushing up on a mini grappling hook technique is also in order...
of course neither seem like a good idea to retrieve a sandwhich which was the last thing I dropped overboard fumble fingering it while leaning over. :/
Grappling hook wouldn't have worked, current was too fast, hat was 20 foot away with in 10-15 seconds, I had one chance to snag it with rod when it fell and then it was out of reach. About 8 foot from floor of walkway to river below and walkway has 4 foot guard rail.
