if they can grow cube watermelons at least they can paint a coffin to resemble one.

76 isn't bad but still too young.

I really think that a lot of the boomers tapping out these days probably could have made it into their 80's and 90's if, even not up until recent history, they had taken their health more seriously.

Of course there are still health issues but precious few are a legit death sentence.

Well, shit, now I've found out in his old age he... had some jokes that would have made him very popular at CPAC.

It's not too late. Get an exhaustive physical, find out where the problems are and then deal with them. The problem is that many if not most guys think 'well if I go looking for trouble, I'll probably find it.' Yes, very possible. The alternative is to let whatever those problems might be kill you slowly or maybe, quite suddenly. If you want to be around for a while longer, ya gotta man up.

76 is a decent year to pass away. Isn't 76 the average age of death for men anyway?

Why wants to live in their 80s anyway. My uncle was urinatiing in a bed pan at 81. Quality of life quickly goes down past 80 for many men.

But whatif you could avoid many of the infirmities of advanced old age. I'm 66 and when I went for my stress test a few years ago, the doc had to raise the platform to about 45 degrees for me to even break a sweat and I was chatting with him the whole time. And I do absolutely squat regarding any sort of exercise.

YMMV
