“75 and I could outwork a lot of the teenagers these days.”

That’s not saying much, but congrats on staying healthy!

beat me to it. back in the day Stevie nicks sang “on the edge of seventeen”. well today I sing “on the edge of seventy”, still building stuff and still telling the young guys at the lumber store who always ask me if they can help me load up plywood or drywall to “stand back...wouldn’t want YOU to get hurt”. true story. my personal saying is “I can do anything I could do when younger. it just takes a little longer and hurts a little more”.
