59. But I don't think of myself as old.
Went to a doctor I've only seen a few times since my old one passed away last year. He was looking at my records and said "you've got a few problems". noting medication I've been on for years. I said "c'mon Doc, I want to live another 40 years". He chuckled and said "I doubt you'll live another 40 years". I said "what?". He said "how old are you?" I said 59. He said "Oh, I SERIOUSLY doubt you'll live another 40 years". Then he checked my blood pressure and said it was a little high. I told him it was fine when I walked and before he gave me his assessment on my lifespan.
Actually, I agree with the others. You're only as old as you feel and think. I know people in their 40's who look and act like their 60s. I also know people in their 70's who stay active, skiing, riding horses, etc. and look like 50. Key is moderation, plenty of sleep, exercise, diet and the most important thing: GENETICS.
Plus, we have to thank the pharmaceutical companies and modern medicine for many of us living past what we normally would without their intervention. So, while others may scream about the high cost of health care, I think it's a bargain. I would gladly forego a $600 monthly car payment and put the money toward my health.

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.
