Had both hips replaced at 75, lost some mobility and am very careful not to fall. At 80+ I helped build a pole building and was up and down a ladder. Left knee got sore, kept me awake, saw the Orthopod and was told I had arthritis of the knee CAP and my knees looked pretty good. Surgery was not recommended, he drained a 1/4 cup of fluid and injected cortisone, told me to use RICE. (rest, ice, compression, elevation). It has worked till I got stupid and overdid this summer. Drained the knee and cortisone shot and I'm good to go. I'm 84, don't climb ladders or run races or stand very long. But I have been deer hunting all week, still drive my tractors and use a little common sense and RICE! Won the Bench Rest competition at our annual Turkey shoot Sunday!
I've buried 4 close friends and consider myself very lucky. Live every day like it's my last, because one day it will be!

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
