That is really the trick. If you keep in good shape your whole life
you will live longer. Not good if you out live your perceived
usefulness. The last time I had a check up the Dr. commented about
how I must be just about
ready to retire in a few years. Something many assume, along with
all that money you get to save being a machinist.
Yea, right! Machinist's are rich.

I always mention I will enjoy work
far beyond anyone's expectations of any retirement "age"

Every place I worked before starting my shop in 1975 when the people
retired from running turret lathes they all died within 1 to2 years.
I "guess" they set in front of a TV. Hell I'm 62 & will retire when I
fall down dead running one of my machines. What else is their,
chasing mini skirted Bimbo's at my age? Hmm, I will have to think
about that <G>.

It's perfectly safe chasing them, and it keeps you in shape.
Catching one however could kill you quick! Think Anna Nicole.

Only if you want to puke.
