My 87 year old father works with me almost every day. Some of it is manual labor. He is still pretty tough.

At 19 he was packing an M1 across Germany, Belgium & Czechoslovakia. He was an armorer and worked on Quad 50's and Bofors. He saw the National Socialist up close and personal. If you don't think he can still shoot, you are mistaken.

I recently took my father to the range. He served in the Army in the early 1960s. I handed him my AR15 and watched him drive nails through the center of that target. I agree with you 100%.

Our power was knocked out by storms tonight during the 2nd OT of the Blackhawks game. No problem. I hooked the 6kw gen set to the inlet box I installed, turned off the main breaker to the house, flipped my transfer switch to the proper position, and in 10 minutes we had the only house in the neighborhood with power.

Total cost of the project, about $1,100 US. Not bad for a 53 year old guy who learned it all by watching YouTube videos. THAT’S What I can do.
