I too am 77 and not doing some of the maintenance I used to. 3 years ago doctor strongly advised me to give up Volleyball as I kept tearing a calf muscle and would be out 3 days to 3 weeks. He said if I completely tore it, I would be messed up for 6 months and if I tear the achilles it is a year. VB was the only motivation I had for going to the gym and always worked out 20 or 30 minutes before VB. So Now I only go 3 or 4 times a year, but wife and I have vowed to get back to it.

I don't do things where I have to crawl underneath (for long) and never packed bearings or rotated tires. I will do slide seals and lube the vent gaskets (when I remember). I was planning to go until at least 80, but have slowed down a lot in the last couple of years so we will see!!
