I'm right behind Richard in Anaheim at 83.8 years. I was in great shape at 76, could lift B blocks, etc. Then I had a major stroke, my whole right side is a half step above useless. BUT, I can still walk, drive my truck and tractor, etc. I'm fortunate to have a couple of younger guys that do any major work for me, and work that requires dexterity, so life is still good if a little more difficult. My story about my stroke points out that life can change in an instant, so enjoy it now while you can. I can drive my '31 Vicky easily, once I get inside of it. My '31 pickup not as well because of so little leg room.
