Not so much any more. And ANYTHING that can reduce the need to wrestle with
large, unweildy and/or heavy objects is a good thing.

Remember, old age and cunning will win over youth and enthusiasm. Although
I have always tried to work smart, a strong body allows you to get away with
things. That strength factor/edge just isn't there any more. I understand
completely.


LOL, I intimately know the feeling of having an 18 year old view point
on getting something done, and a 67 year old body to get it done with!

And it kills my soul to _not_ grab one end of anything being moved
within my view, and feel a nagging sense of guilt for not pitching in,
like I am an old man or something.

I mean, who needs spinach when 375 mg of Naproxen can make you superman
for another ten hours or so ...
