Well, I have eighteen years on you guys, but still modeling away. Have to have brighter light on workbench, stronger readers, and rest both hands on bench to do fine tweezer work, but models still coming out nice. I think of old watch repair and camera repair guys I knew, and know you can do fine work at almost any age. Old dogs can learn new tricks- it just may take a little longer.
It wasn’t too shocking, years ago I started noticing youngsters holding door open for me. It was shocking when nice middle-aged ladies started doing it. But that started happening before the actual benchmark.
I hope 65 is better than 55. At present, Its all work and no play between work, kids starting out, and now taking in ailing parent. Its why I’m not here much.
Yes Scott. It seems that the sixties do fair better. Everything hits you at once in the fifties. Health issues show up, parents are ageing and often ill, children still settling…
