Well, you know what the heat and humidity's been like down here for the last several weeks, so he doesn't need to be outside doing anything heavy. We used to go to the gym three or four days a week and were workout nuts, but things have just caught up to us. Our primary mower is a Craftsman with a 46" deck, and we also have a Murray Select, but I need to replace the starter relay in it. Getting down to do things low isn't a huge challenge - I just move slow - but getting up is a different story. I generaly need a spotter, or I'm stuck on the ground unless I can crawl to something I can grip and try to work my legs back under me. My step-daughter, son-in-law, and the two grandkids had to temporarily move in with us because he lost his job out of town, so we're using him to do things like brush-burning, hauling, etc.

One good thing is, I was able to get handicap tags for our cars through our primary doctor (we're both so fried we each have our own specialists LOL), so either of us can generally get front door parking anywhere we go.

I’m glad you have young family you can rely on to help. We gave the daughter and son-in-law a few acres on the farm and I dog-sit their dog during the day while they work or take vacation so I guess it all trades out. LOL
