What do you do?

Pay attention to your parents folks, its no fun getting old. Even just finding someone to mow the lawn, change a light bulb, program a remote, is a challenge for them.

I just spent the day planting trees and rhodos at the direction of my lovely wife and I can tell you that I feel every one of my 64 years right now. The tall G and T is helping a bit, though.
Good on you, Fish stalker - My wife and I spent a lot of time doing chores for my and her parents and am hoping our children will be in a position to do the same for us. To think that there is a service available if or when we need it is quite comforting.

I had a 12 foot little fibreglass boat that I brought home when I was just getting started. I told my friends that I was going to restore it. They told me I should put it on the front lawn and put plants in it. The Name "Planter" stuck even after I gave it to a friend.

Great thread idea! 23rd season coming up fish guiding Nootka/Essperanza by summer and Heli logging off and on during rest of season. Real cool job that takes me hunting and fishing all over our province.
