I was running the unknown tractor in circles around the back paddock yesterday,and the thought struck me "wonder how many more times Ill be doing this?"The scumbag council have out a 200mm/8in height on the grass,which is ridiculuos ,cause it grows so fast.............anyway,the 12 month order they put on me has expired,so the nazis cant just fine me.....its back to 14 days notice,again......but back to the paddock.....how much longer will I last?.....Just about every phone call I get is about someone or other has died at 70 ....I m that old now,was hoping to match the old guy next door ,still active at 100...Looks like the Chamberlain will outlast me...maybe even the slasher ....even tho its 2/3 rusted away.

Who knows how long anyone will be still active and doing things? At the age of 75 I am finding everything (even picking something up from ground level) is much more difficult than it used to be. I find it almost impossible to work on cars now but last week I sent a starter for a 1929 Chev. to a man who tells me he is in his mid 80's and needs it for the Chev he still drives . He still works part time driving trucks for his Son. 80 plus y/o is just finishing restoration of a Hillman Imp and they don't come much smaller than that!

I have my shoulder to the wheel,
my nose to the grindstone,
I've put my best foot forward,
I've put my back into it,
I'm gritting my teeth,

Now I find I can't do any work in this position!

Morris, you’re only as old as the woman you feel.

If that is true, Why don't I feel younger?
Dee is 4 days younger than me! I'm a cradle snatcher so I'm told.

Woohoo, I feel 14 1/2 years younger all of a sudden.

Young wives are handy sometimes.

I think that's why a lot of Blokes keep trading 'em In......:whistle:

No, it is so they can look after you at home when you get a lot older and wont have to go into the nursing home.

The tractor rally was a protest against dumping contaminated soil from West Gate Tunnel at Wyndham Vale, and at Bacchus Marsh.
