Things that I couldn’t do then:

Have ice cream for dinner.
Wear my shorts as short as I like.
Drive in the fast lane.
Stay up until 2 a.m.
Purchase cheap insurance.
Watch R-rated movies.
Cuss like a sailor without getting Lava-soap-mouthwash...
Choose between wine or beer.

Good on you! I do so much at work and around the house it looks like I am in good shape for 78.
I am the official fixer upper at our house, light goes out, I fix it, refrigerator goes out, I take it apart and find what is wrong and getting it running again (actually did that)
And I compose music for acoustic guitar, mandolin, keyboards, dulcimer and have 123 tracks now on Soundcloud to prove it, of course not many folks really give a crap about that kind of thing but I like to compose new tunes.
And I am a ham, talk to folks around the world, it is a good way to maintain socializing, latest catch, talked to a guy in Serbia.
Once I talked to scientists at McMurdo sound, not a bad catch.
I am trying to figure out how I can talk directly to astronauts on ISS, there is a ham rig onboard and if you are in the right place and right time as it swings overhead, you can talk to them directly.

When I was young, I could party all night and go to work the next day with no sleep. Can’t do either any more.

I could (and often did) pedal a ten-speed bike up the hill between the Peninsula and Santa Cruz, on a rock-hard plastic saddle. Today I would need more like 30 gears, a gel saddle, and a lot more time.

We really took it for granted, didn't we? I couldn't imagine why it shouldn't stay that way, still can't.

Lets see how does that one go.

When I was young in my prime I get a girl most anytime.

Now I am getting old and grey.

The girls all look at me and say.

He is too old to cut the mustard anymore.

If only they knew!!! 😉
