Ya, i still am good to go in that department.
Still have a full head of hair at age 72.
But it grows at such a super slow rate, these days, due to a side affect of a medication that i hafta take due to a bone marrow, white blood cell, mutation that my body has, in medical terms called JAK-2.

I built that back when I was 8. Have had it on display ever since. Then 2 weeks ago the cleaning lady decides to dump it off of the shelf and broke off a bunch of parts and not tell me about it.
So now i am restoring it.
redid some wiring on the Jeep headlights

Sharpening blades and getting mowers ready for the season. Teaching stepson about oil/filter/lube change and PM.
What did he get when trading you in?

Spent the last week sleeping on the floor with a pinched disc. Ugh. Today was the first day I could really move and lift - and it's 75 degrees too - so time for spring cleaning in the garage!
Positioned everything for summer use. Snowblower and ice melt spreader in the shed. Mowers ready to go. Swept out a half a bag worth of leaves and dust and crap. Everything fired right up (they live on Noco battery tenders), good oil pressures, no noises. I'll do tire pressures when it's time to drive em the first time (gotta renew the Daytonas tags, they expired 8/23! Been having too much fun with the '70, I guess...lol).

Bondoing the seams between the kitchen cabinets and filling in the hinge screw holes.
Prepping new doors with concealed hinges.
...and working on a small roll-top desk I found on the side of the road.
Roll top got stuck 1/3 of the way down.
Followed a tip I googled and used WD-40 gel.
After a few whacks both ways, it now rolls all the way both ways.
The desk is modern, but mostly real wood construction except for the drawer bottoms, which are masonite.

Did my own "Breaking Bad" routine ....and then eventually had my buddy Nathan help me out. A regular customer of mine called to say her bathroom fan had stopped working....only been about 13 years since installation. I didn't fit it either - the only room in her house that she farmed out to a specialist one-stop Bathroom shop - 5 guys all yahooing and laughing the whole time....and I had to repair their mistakes afterwards. The electrician used the wrong driver for an LED fitting, and he couldn't figure out how to wire the 4-gang switch either.
Anyhoo, turns out the exterior grille was missing also ...that was a clue. So, with my son's help, I managed to squeeze into the ceiling to investigate. Found that birds had removed the exterior grill and managed to lay a 3m (10 feet) trail of nesting materials inside the duct - and had got straw and popsicle sticks jamming the fan. I removed the ducting and cleaned out the fab - called out to my son to switch it on, and it blew the remaining rubbish out - worked fine.
Carefully handed the full ducting down the manhole and squeezed my way out.
In the meantime, Nathan had arrived, so I got up on my stepladders and replaced the grill with steel wire rodent guard and siliconed it all up to keep birds out. Since I had such a hard time squeezed in the wardrobe access hole, Nathan dressed up and went back in for me to replace the ducting. I had been up easily when the place was renovated, but now the hole was barely two-thirds its original size due to the fixed shelving....and I'm a little rounder than I used to be.

^^^ After that effort we had a lunch at Dennys just down the road.
