Well, Im in the category of those old enough to know better but young enough to do it anyway and my doctors have informed me that I will not ever achieve being too old.

I also wonder what I should do since I still can do much even if not for long.

I can only watch the waves come in so many times. Ive seen just about all the sunsets I really need to see. Dont want to waste too much time waiting for a big fish or a trophy deer to walk by.

I always wanted to hike the full length of the Appalachian trail but between arthritis, sciatica, and PAD, I dont think Ill I have that much time even if I did have a couple decades left.

Dont have the money to engage in space tourism...

I can see why he WOULD do another movie, maybe bits in a couple more time permitting. It sounds like he may not have an option to do a great deal else. It may be that this has consumed to much of his life that this is what he knows and has become part of so he needs to continue to be part of something.

You hear about so many men retiring just to wind up spending the rest of their years working on whatever they did as jobs when they were younger. Ive hated every job I ever had except being in a band and being in the military.

Im not too embarrassed to admit that I probably couldnt fill a venue like Keith Richards or even Tommy Shondell still can. I couldnt swim well enough to be pararescue the first time around so even if recruitment is down they probably dont need me now either except maybe as shark bait to get someone more useful out.

I just dont know.

If you, or anyone for that matter, has an idea Id like to hear it too. Maybe there is something that someone who is too old would like to do but cant. Maybe since Im young enough to do it anyway then maybe I could do it for them?

If it legal, hell, maybe even if its not, Ill consider it and get all the footage of the places and events.

Maybe some big organization needs a test dummy.

Maybe NASA needs to send someone to the moon to see if their new pup tent works or something like that. :)

How would one even go about finding dumb jobs to volunteer for?

Maybe you need to look at things a bit differently.

Im thinking that Im invincible because Im already dead, it just hasnt happened yet.

Maybe Boeing needs a monkey for a new craft? I think Id could be a pretty convincing one.
