I do whatever maintenance and servicing is needed on our quite large fleet of stuff needed to keep our one and a quarter acres of French countryside, woodland, house and two barns in reasonable order - chainsaws, dumper, strimmer/brushcutters etc
I service and maintain our L200 - easy to wriggle underneath as it's got huge ground clearance - 14 grease nipples and oil and filter every year - the Accord goes to the Honda dealer as it's warrantied until 2020.
I don't need a gym subscription - I've got two hungry woodburners to keep supplied with firewood - cutting, hauling, splitting, stacking etc - the amount of effort and labour is huge, but we are independent and can heat and cook without electricity if we have to, nothing warms a house up like a good woodburner!
Another shout from me for kneepads - I had a week on Ibuprofen recently after three days sheeting a flat roof with osb on a workshop i'm building - I couldn't find the kneepads I knew I'd bought from Lidl and regretted it afterwards - knees severely bruised!. They have a hard outer shell and a gel pad inside and are really comfortable - lesson learned!
GB you can buy overalls from Dickies with knee pads built in - I wasn't wearing overalls on that roof because it was too hot!
I take a daily glucosamine tablet and a multi vitamin - I have done for the last 20 years.
Oh and I was 70 last September!
