Staying Alive

Yesterday a fitness guru died in Australia at age of about 72. - Staying alive might be more mental than physical. Some people are dead in their heads at a very early age. I am 82. I have a large flat screen TV beside my bed, I use it to continue my education by watching Youtube. - Why would I want to learn, if I am never going to work again ? - Perhaps genuine interest is more important than money.

I am too lazy to even think about exercising.

Al at the very least it is better than being piss bored !!! My wife is that frame ATM after a hip replacement.

Gotta say that getting out of the house is way better than anything else and KEEPS you young without fail,

Riding my bikes keep me alive and fit as well doing things in the workshop or garden, keeping active is way better than watching the idiot box, learn things off Youtube so much conflicting crap more like it or idiots doing stupid things, university of life is my educator, Al you no need to learn anything as you think you know everything, no get a life and get out and do things, you watch too much Youtube that's not good for your health.
I been stuck at home caring for the wife while recovering from 2 major eye OPs, now it's time to get out on the bikes, today firing up the Norton and a run up in the ranges, give myself a workout and fresh air to breath.

Everybody is on a clock with little or no real control of when the clock is going to stop. Best I can do is kid myself into thinking I'll live forever and avoid depression. Depression is a silent killer. I actually might be too damn stupid to be depressed myself. I always have something to do. Both the missis and I exercise. Keeps me trim and capable. I don't ride as much as I use to. Now I modify and test. Fortunately, I only have one bike left to wrench on. Otherwise, the missis would have insisted we sell the house and split the profit.

I'm thinking my thinking might change dramatically when I reach 82. 9 more years a lot could happen.

Staying Alive -> Saturday Night Fever.

Gotta keep active, physically and mentally. The less you move, the stiffer you get, till you’re a stiff in a box!
