    Get the hell out! He looks fragile. Good for him! Awesome, I hope to get there.
    The older I get the better I used to be.

      I don't think he looks fragile at all. Damn, he had more in him. He was just logging in his journal his normal routine. Good for him...

          No disrespect intended but if that guy was about to lift a trailer with a tongue weight of a few hundred pounds you woulds say "no no no, let me get it"!

            I'll finish the story for you. I did and tried lifting it. Landed on the ground with a broken back and watch the old man grab the trailer with one hand and pull in where he needed it to go...

                I'd be nervous about my back at that age, especially the way spines curve as we get older. Good for him though. I know I won't be doing DLs at 89.
