Not even close, Lloyd- I turned 78 Nov. last- still up and a chugging every G-D'd day (quote from George Patton there)--20/15 distance vision both eyes, hearing a tad "off"- weigh the same as when I played ball in HS-60 years ago. My sawbones says my innards (liver, prostrate, etc. ) are akin to a 30 year old guy.

I agree with Brian (later post) that you live below your means/income/net worth and have NEVER bought a new: car, pickup, Jeep, John Deere tractor, or gun in all my adult life-and never will (I won't count the NIB box shotguns won at DU and PF banquets)-- live simply, dress in the best Carhartt and Levis you can find at the local Goodwill Shoppe-- keep a low profile, and as the Old Teddy R, said-- "speak softly, carry a big stick- I'll substitute my Armand Swenson Combat Commander or the .38Sp. Colt snubbie for the big stick, how-some-ever.. RWTF
