I'll be glad just to have sex when I am 83! I don't want lawn bowls or bingo to be an option!

There is a guy who flies with a gliding club at Bacchus Marsh, well into his 80's, flies gliders and still has a power pilots license - flies the tow planes. Very active physically and mentally.

My neighbour is late 70s
Still cuts trees most days , not little ones Throws a stihl 090 chainsaw around like its a toy Is highly regarded in the community , many young fellas try and drop trees as good, but none to date can come near him in speed and accuracy I think most oldish people would be flat out lifting a stihl 090 chainsaw |
