Yup.
I know about it but I don't think I could top that after 61 years.
My diet had way too much beer from 21 to 54, when I finally quit that
habit. Had my parents encouraged me instead of kicking me out of the
house to play with 'normal' kids I might have made it, but I don't think
I am that high on the scale. Somewhere around 160'ish is my best guess
but I am somewhat apathetic about it right now.

Don't give up on åchieving thåt. Retirees usuålly expånd their life
experiences ånd åchivements.
By the time you reåch 80 the numbers måy well rise to åbove 200!

I do admit reading way too much, but I enjoy the professional Magazines
I get in the mail. My reading habits go far beyond just electronics and
compute so I read Military and aerospace, NASA tech briefs, information
week, EDN, Electronics design, and many more. I can at least push my
brain as hard as possible.
BTW, does anyone here know a good grammar checking program.
There are some good windows 7 products but my scanner will not let me
use it in Linux land since h.P. has flat out told me my 4 year old
scanner is now obsolete and they are making new scanners, won't even
attempt to fix the driver mode since H.P. never made any drivers for Linux.
Come summer, if it ever gets here, I will be busy on my 100+ mile
bicycle rides. These take from sunup to sun down, but burn huge amount
of calories climbing endless hills.
Return to school? I might take classes at the local junior college and
collect about three or four subjects and try to get 4 or 5 Associate
degrees. I won't be able to that and actually finish with requirements
that are needed (forced down my throat) So that would be a logical start
for me. Cal state in Sacramento is the next college for the next four
years, but I can challenge some of them.
It is an idea but for the summer I am going into physical fitness and
not computer mode. It may be a little 'old' at my age but I can do the
school work just as easily as ever.
