I turn 63 in a couple of weeks and have some of the ailments the others mentioned; Arthritis, bad knees, bad back and I have had a pacemaker since 2002. A couple of years ago I was upgraded to an implanted defibrillator. No issues with that yet and I do most of my own work on my cars.
Last visit with my cardiologist she ran the diagnostics (with a T4 sort of computer) and told me I had had an arrhythmia episode on March 8th. Curious as to what I did that day I checked the dates on the pictures in my phone and what did I see...Pictures of my changing the gearbox on my MGF! So, last month I changed the clutch on my ZT190 but for the first time ever I paid someone else to do it for me. No sense taking chances! I am still doing everything that doesn't involve heavy lifting though. (Also, no welding )

I am 73 in a few days and still tackle jobs that present themselves, car and elsewhere albeit I am cautious about tackling any real heavy work (don't want another hernia thanks).
Also cautious about jobs under the car where its difficult to work e.g. got garage to change front susp arm bushes. Not ready to hang tools up yet.

I'm 57 and still get underneath the car (in the summer at least as I haven't got a garage). I spend the rest of the day picking gravel out of my bum though.

And by the way, I will be getting an extra 25 pence on my pension when I reach 80. Ideas please on what I can buy with this spectacular amount of money. Nothing extravagant mind..
