Older is one thing, old is another. Had a conversation with the orthopedic guy working on Kelly's ankle and he and I both agree; neither of us sees a point in living a "long life".
Both he and I believe 75-80 is about the max one should really "want" to do. The problem lies in the fact I may leave a spouse, other than that, "checkout time" can't be soon enough for me.
I gotta disagree. With those numbers, I've only got 16 months max left to enjoy. Speaking of our LBC life only, we've got a 4 day tour planned in April, a 5 day 1500 mile trip planned in Oct, and possibly a 4,000 mile tour planned in July. Those, I hope, will be be repeated in similar form for at least the next 10 years. That being said, I recognize that an unanticipated health event could happen any time and totally screw up our plans.
We have a very active club that drives all the time. We recently lost an active member that was north of 90. Thats a record that I hope to beat.
