I built by hand a log cabin at age 64, most 32 year old guys could not do that kind of work.
That was 2 years ago, now, to celebrate an old guy acting young, I need to bang a stacked 18 year old coed, like I used to do in college.

Ladders have become my fear. If I can't get my arms out ahead of me I won't go higher. Likely driven by the fall from height deaths I have seen/heard of on our projects. When I retired anyone going outside, anyone, was required to wear a full harness.

I think I do act my age. In my 69th year I hike and climb mountains more slowly. I've worked at lightening my pack. I ride dirt bikes but no longer race. I train some but no longer box. I don't even hit the heavy bag much due to arthritis in my wrists. I quit considering drinking a worthwhile recreational pursuit forty years ago. All in all, I'm fairly mature, I think. GD

Be very afraid!

A ladder collapsing cost me 70% of the use of my left arm and re-broke my back three years ago. I've literally cracked two teeth, gnashing down from pain, but I won't take any narcotic pain meds. A fall from a ladder killed my wife's boss years ago; he was 73 and broke a leg and hip.

Used to teach the Westminster shorter catechism to junior highers but was asked to take over 5th & 6th graders. Hunting partners who are/were teaching pards said it was because I needed to teach to my maturity level.
