eternal youth

This is my Dad at work.

Apparently nobody's told him that he's almost 70.

Wow!

Well, Dad does have a fine collection of scars acquired through various DIY tasks. So don't take his bad example as good advice.

To say nothing of the fact that my Mom, taking the photograph, probably isn't wearing goggles either.

'cos, er, otherwise his chest would be unprotected from flying stone chips?

Cool photo.

On the refusing yo act your age front, two years ago, I visited my grandfather (then 85, and my last living grandparent), to find him creating a garden path. Or, to put it another way, mixing and pouring his own damned concrete, and not by machine. He scares me, but in a good way.

Kim's mom, who is also almost (or is) 70, works just as hard, and has had 3 hip replacement surgeries. Darn crazy old people...

He's actually removing a concrete pillar - a gatepost at my parents' house.
