You’ll make it as long as you don’t get fat or smoke.
Sugar in the eyes is cataracts,
Sugar in the teeth are cavities,
Sugar in the brain is Alzheimer’s,
Sugar in the liver is diabetes,

Sugar is a poison, period.
Obesity is a disease.

Get comfortable in the hurt locker and work your body.

Sprinting is beneficial for older adults as an anti-aging exercise that maintains muscle mass, improves cardiovascular health, and preserves explosive power and coordination. It helps counter age-related declines by recruiting fast-twitch muscle fibers, boosting growth hormone, and strengthening bones, and can even help maintain telomere length, which is associated with longevity. However, a safe approach involves preparation to mitigate the high risk of injury.

Gary Brecka explains all of this.
Google him.

“ preserves explosive power” Did ya get it ?
The 3 white poisons to the body:
Sugar, anything made with it
Flour, anything made with it
Milk, anything made with it

Oh boy. So much has changed. Table salt your correct. Himalayan pink salt is full of lead ! Throw it away !
BUT !
Been on Cyclobenzaprene for arthritis for years. I no longer need it. I am 100% pain free from arthritis.
I used a quarter tea spoon of Baja Gold mineral salt each day and eight minutes of breath work each morning. And I cut the poison, sugar.
If I slip up and eat sugar my hands hurt the next day.
Again: Google, ‘Gary Brecka’.

My kids would have never gotten up to change the channel / adjust volume / fine tune the UHF. If they can’t binge-watch, why try?
You are right on that one! With the three channels we had in the 60's, two of them were ocal, maybe 10-15 miles and had great pictures. One was from Chicago 90 miles across Lake Michigan. Our antennae was son the roof of our two story house. We kept a ladder raised up on the outside and when we wanted to see that channel dad would send one of us youngsters up on the roof, while he or mom would yell out, "STOP, good right there". Colder than a well diggers ass in the winter and slippery to! Where the hell was the health and welfare workers to come rescue us? My kids and grandkids don't believe any of this.

Hey, me two, but barefoot and in the snow at -40. Wearing only a tee -shirt, no jacket. We were tough little bastards back then! Had no heat in our cave either. Haha.

Early 60’s I was the remote control, adjust sound, channel, vertical and horizontal hold etc. Didn’t have to adjust ‘colour’ yet, old Fleetwood B&W.

Yup, I'm only 70 young. Black and white TV was all we had. Did not own color one until after I was married, a 13 inch we bought in 1974. Loved Red Skeletons character Clem Kaddiddlehopper ! (confession, had to look it up to spell it correctly!). Glen Campbell Hour, Hee-Haw, American Bandstand, Dick Clark Show, Carol Burnette. My mom watched Lawrence Welk and since we only had one TV with only 3 stations, I had no choice. I hated that one! Forgot we did have 2 maybe 3 UHF channels. Woo Hoo!
Looks like you live in Idaho, you're lucky you had electricity! I lived in NYC, and we got a 10" RCA TV in 1948.

Grew up in Southwest Michigan near Indiana border. Move to rural Colorado at 14. Retired here in Idaho, further north of where I am currently. Never lived in a real hot/humid place, except for Ft Rucker Alabama. Amarillo and Grand Junction are both HOT, but really dry. Didn't need AC, but we had "swamp" coolers! Work fine most of the time. I'm betting even back then in NYC you had more than 3 tv channels! I had "Dish" network for a few years. Even though we had 80,700 channels, I still watched only 3-4. Haha. Now we got just OTA tv antennae and wife streams a couple free channels. We do get the occasional power failure, so the Generac 22KW kicks in and all is good! Never out but a day or two and that is rarely.

At 75 the Maverick is a great little truck. Hauls what ever I need it to not needing large things at my age. It takes much less effort to get in than my 1973 vet does. We just adapt to our age. enjoy the ride

Yeah...but Zenith was bought by LG and then absorbed into their company and Ford is still here.....so there's always that.
