Welcome ,, will be looking forward to reading more.....

At 81 ,, I can tell you there will be new aches & odd pains to greet you as you shuffle off to the bathroom.

Welcome and whatever you do, don't eat health foods.
Those in their eighties need all the preservatives that they can get.

Welcome fellow Engineer (Civil in my case). I can say one thing safely. As you push further into your 80's, your "planning ahead" starts to shrink.

I'll hit 90 before the year ends and most of my "looking ahead" plans are based on months and/or weeks at this point.

Hope you enjoy your stay here in the group.

Back in the 50's, there was a TV show called Life Begins at 80 ... anyone remember that?

I'm certainly experiencing this, but hadn't really thought about it. Clever observation!
