regret not being able to climb up on the back of a bull and holler for

realistic about it.

The problem with high powered equipment which take skill but not much
physical strength to operate is knowing when one is too far "over the
hill" to use it safely. Old farts quit listening to their well
intentioned friends, spouses, and co-workers who may be suggesting to
give it up. It may not be at all obvious to someone in a declining
health (mental and/or physical) that anything is wrong. That certainly
includes operating automobile, construction machinery, machine tools,
firearms, and even computer keyboards.
