You all talk like you have one foot in the grave, sheesh. Most of you are probably tougher than the average bear, I don't know. I'm only 30 now, so I hopefully have a few hundred thousand miles left in me. make sure you keep up on the maintenance or it can catch up with you quick.

We’re all dying every day so make the best of it nobody’s getting out alive, live the days you have left I’d rather go face down in the outdoors then waiting to get my diaper changed.
We go from a newer running truck to a clunker needing maintenance more and more every day but keep putting one foot in front of the other its all you can do really. Everything starts to hurt even just sitting around so get something done as long as you can. Mentor a kid that way everybody wins in the end it makes no sense to take your knowledge with you

Present and accounted for.
I agree with Gulo, odd that I am now as old as "old" people.
Mark if I was as old as I feel a lot of days I'd be 90!
Been broke down but I still caught some beaver and coyotes just funning around this season. With my non OME parts and those that are unrepairable I sure move a lot slower LOL

My check liver light came on about 6 yrs ago. Then I wrecked my bike and my check kidney light, check heart light, check bones lights, check blood light.... Well you get the picture.
The wife and I were at a bar the other day having some burgers and diet cokes. I looked across the bar and said "Look at that old fart. He looks like he's been used and abused." She looks up and says "You idiot that's you."

If it wasn't for plastic eyes,ears and teeth I would be in a lot worse shape! I don't laugh at the folks using the side by sides anymore.

Truth. Im only 41 but this year all the years being tough and invenciable seem to be catching up with me. 43 and one blood cot at 41, now on thinners diabetic diagnosed right after I turned 43 now on Metformin major diet changes , monitoring blood sugar my dad is 22 years older than me he had a hear attack this year , got all roto routered out all things to look forward to , NOT. but if you keep up on all the maintenance you get to have another day for longer. grandpas both dead at 84 but both had heart attacks in their mid 60s I would rather not repeat my great grandparents who I found out were diabetic didn't take care of it and died at 41 and 47
