I like that. My wife might not. And we've "only" been married 50 years.

Getting old does suck, but the alternative, not much fun either. Past 80 2 months ago and now looking forward to my 3rd major surgery this year!! The worse part is not being able to get out with camera in hand. But, using the time to edit many, many photos.

At 80 my body is not so good so I've put the Nikon on the shelf and rigged PTZ digital security cameras with WIFI and watch with Laptop or Fire or cellphone. Movement is recorded and stills and video can be taken.
The Nikon will work remotely but can't take the weather.
p.s. Still have the Speed Graphic and the Nikon "F" but too old to use them.

Interesting. I have an Asahi Pentax K2 DMD (a high end Pentax just below the LX). It has Shutter speeds ranging from 1/1000 s to 8 s. Vertical run shutter. And it can shoot at the flash sync speed of 1/125 s with no batteries. It has only Aperture Priority AE. This was before the A Pentax lenses.

At the last visit with my PCP I told her that I wish I was 70 again (or maybe 75, I can’t remember).

Getting old sucks, but there is only ONE alternative. I look FORWARD to getting older!

Same as you - 88 in February. But, getting old isn't for sissy's.

I'm 77... don't have a cane, don't have a walker, don't have any aches or pains. In my 14th year of retirement and have 9 grandchildren all of which are engaged in organized sports...football, baseball, softball, soccer, volleyball, basketball, competition cheer, track & field, karate', dance and a few things I can't remember. I may be enjoying the best years of my life. Keep moving and keep laughing. You don't stop laughing because you get old, you get old because you stop laughing. I know I'm getting closer to the end but if I die today I'm gonna be pissed off!
