Happy 66 Scotty. On a high note, remember, time now will affect you less as you age. Example: When you were 20, a year was 1/20th of your life, a large percentage. Now that has dwindled down to 1/66th. See how that works?
I don't want to assume anything here, but don't you mean time now will affect you More as you age?
I know that as I lived through the years from 50 to 76, each successive year disappeared faster than the previous one. I have no clue where the past 50 years went when I really think about it - it has just flown by.
Each day now is more important than the previous one because there are fewer left than I've already had & even though I feel shitty & hurt in some way most days I have to do SOMEthing every day or it makes me nuts.
Yesterday I ScotchBrited my little black bottle RE muffler a little & then shot it with three new coats of BBQ paint over the day. A small thing, didn't hurt too much, but it was SOMEthing. Now it's all ready for when I get my engine back together which I hope my knees get through.
I'll need a walker SOME day - I can feel it coming - but it AIN'T gonna be today
