So how will you know when your common sense is gone? Seems to me common
sence would indicate that you and I both are imperfect and that neither
of us is prepaired for each and every possible accident that might
happen in the future. Commen sense tells me that I am imperfect, I can
make a mistake, and that I may not know that I am no longer capable
untill I do something that may lead to an accident.


I have, over the years, accumulated some bit of knowledge of the function
of the human mind. My minor in college was psychology and my interest in
the subject has continued ever since. I have read all of Steven Pinker's
tomes as well as those of several other authors whose expertise on the
subject attracted my attention. As I have approached my more mature
years it has occurred to me that it would be wise to study the effects of
aging. As such, I have acquired some notion of the tribulations for
which I felt wise to prepare. I do not approach the afflictions of aging
blindly.
You are obviously possessed of some of the problems that age will cause
or you wouldn't have expressed your concern in the matter.
Self awareness can be a valuable asset in addressing potential pitfalls.
I like to believe that I am somewhat "self-aware".
In addition, I have a son who visits my shop regularly. He has no
reservations about offering constructive criticism. G
I already have plans for the day I will sell or otherwise dispose of my
shop equipment and undertake other activities that interest me.
My other hobbies include photography, RV travel, reading and writing.
Your concern and advice is, as always, appreciated.



I made this comment before another comment that you made and I am in
agreement with you all the way now, I simply misunderstood your position.
We agree now to,,,,agree. ;!)



Thanks, Leon.
