Will I live to see 80?

[Mafesto]

I recently
picked a new primary care doctor. After two visits and
exhaustive Lab tests, he said I was doing 'fairly well' for my
age.









A little
concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, 'Do you
think I'll live to be 80?'



He asked,
'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer or wine?'



'Oh no,' I
replied. 'I'm not doing drugs, either!'



Then he
asked, 'Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued
ribs?



'I said,
'No, my former doctor said that all red meat is very
unhealthy!'



'Do you
spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, sailing, hiking,
or bicycling?'



'No, I
don't,' I said.



He asked,
'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of
sex?'



'No,' I
said.



He looked
at me and said,.... 'Then, why do you
even give a shet?

Haha, good one.

On second thought, I'm only 14 years away from 80. Yikes.
Still hope to be able to ride a sled. There's a couple 80 year old guys in my area that still ride, but take it pretty easy.

I ride with a couple of guys that are getting close to 60....they hold their own just fine!

Seems like every other year or so I have to find new ridding buddies as the guys my age drop out of the sport. It is getting harder and harder to keep in the shape necessary to ride with twenty year olds. But so far, so good!

there is some 70+ dudes on here, I rode with a SW'r last winter on his 70th B-Day.

We rode some BC Backcountry, not trails either but tight trees and technical stuff.

I pray I get around and ride half as well as he does when I'm 70 something. I had a lot of fun and look forward to riding again next winter.

one of the guys in our group is over 70 and could ride circles around some younger dudes ...but hes an exception

By the time I'm 80 sleds will probably be a thing of the past.

Not if you keep on with the drinking and driving

Hell I got 56 years until I'm 80...think I Yammis will be under 400 pounds by then?

 

[shortstop20]

56 years to lose 200 pounds, nah probably not.

Well with the recent advances in modern technologies, and my high level of income, there's no reason why i can't live to be 200-250 years old.


But honestly, if i am still alive at 80 and people still ride sleds i will be very amazed!
