I just turned 62 in December & whenever it rains my body aches. I am retiring at 65 & my wife & I are planning to get a house that needs some work on a couple acres in southern Virginia so I have room for a nice sized garage & workshop. I want to live where it gets less snow then here in NJ, I might even work a little part time.
Always something, take your vitamins, take some sort of Fish Oil, for the joints, don't thing all of these ads for joint fixes are junk, check them out.
AND some B12 helps too and extra "C" keep the immune system up to performance too.
Sty south but watch the humidity, that can drain you too. I planned on working part time, helped a friend with a new startup gas station, got a little money out of it, but when he decided to hire full time help I was told I had to move on. NO biggy signed up for Social Security by then. I thanked him and left, didn't buy gas there anymore ! LoL !

Yeah, weather brings on some joint pain fun, for sure... especially when it is cold rain like we've had here recently.
I moved to SoCal, most of the time it isn't bad with the joints, but it does get cold or at least feels cold but thanks to the dry climate, I think, it isn't too bad.
Can always sit in front of the fire place, there is tomorrow, God willing and that dam creek doesn't rise !

oh its winter that does that? LOL I always thought it was all the huge jumps I used to not land when I was skiing my whole adolescent life!!! ouch my back, my knees, my hips, my neck!
Whatever doesn't kill you...... I have been splitting wood each day with a 8# maul, this is my daily workout routine...no exercise machines needed!
For some of us older guys maybe but you young guys the usual excuse is Football, excessive exercising.
I do like the splitting wood, I didn't have to do it all winter when in the northeast, but would do a little here and a little there.It is good exercise.
With the large splitter, you will have a good retirement job, selling cord wood.
I have been retired for 12 years now, worked part time for the first year, then gave up on the winter thing and being in the snow/cold/heavy clothing.
Now I live in SoCal and it's nice, not to many days that I feel the cold, unless we have rain too, gets that cold chill, but that doesn't happen much.
