Here's what you do if it's so cold your diesel fuel gels. Smear some on some toast and stay inside until it warms up outside.

Turned 38 this April. Feel fine and in great shape as long as my back holds up. When it goes out I look like I'm 98 with a hernia. Can't drink like I used to. However age has given me the wisdom to know this is a good thing. RT

64 today, 65 in July and always involved with something. So much depends on your health that it really pays to not injure your body too much in earlier years. Plus always expand your mind. I do not even feel older yet for some strange reason in general. Although I am well aware of my age.
It is true it seems that you are as old as you feel I guess in the final anyalisis. This cannot go on forever of course but I will try to stay very active as long as I can.
Today I located a junk euro 123 with euro round lights,euro bumpers, front air dam, and trunk spoiler. Will help a young fellow change his 240 around and at the same time get him working on cars. Got to find him some decent wheels for his project yet. At least he will have a 240 that looks fast.
I suspect too many people retire with too low an income. This slows them down as well. Try to engineer into your life a system to circumvent it while still young. It's not as hard as you would think.
I was able to call retirement at age 50 and am not a genius by a long stretch. It has been really interesting since. So very much is just mindset and it's application in my opinion.
