I wonder how many more productive years I have left before I can't do the things I love.

P. You will always be able to do the things you love, just at a slower pace.
I find I can still surf fish for about an hour before my back gives out, so I'm
more selective with weather, tide and time. While I rest my back in the truck I think back and laugh at how I used to drive myself crazy chasing blitzes down the beach.
One thing you might consider is a pair of waders with a sewed in fly though, and definitely like Nebe said.  |

Not that I'm a kid (70), but I have a couple of old age heroes in their mid-eighties who are still out at 3 AM fishing for stripers from the rocks.

My wifes mom lives with us in our home......she turns 96 years old next week! Her mind is still as sharp as ever...doesn't miss a trick.
Reads the paper without glasses. (I'm jealous)
Still has a healthy appetite too, sits down for dinner with us every night, finishes her plate and then asks "what's for dessert".
Having her here with us has given me a new perspective on age and aging well.

Not bothering me that much. I just enjoy life so much I give pause once in awhile and reflect on how lucky I have been. And when I do I think long and deep about a few things I wish I did differently. And the end result is I wished I listened to myself more, and fished more. Thats all.

You will do what you want, if you want to.
I've had a quad bypass, cancer, bad knees, etc.
Now, at the age of 68 1/2, I am building stone walls, cutting and splitting 7 - 8 cords of wood a year. I fish as much as I want in the boat and the surf. I end up, according to my FitBit, walking 4 to 5 miles every day.
I feel great. No, that's not true. My knees hurt, my back hurts and I cannot go 16 hours a day anymore but I still get everything done that I want.
I think the real trick to aging gracefully is working smarter not harder. I figure I'll keep going until I am 90. Then PUFF!! |
No boat, back in the suds.

That's great Piemma ! With an attitude like that you'll make it 90 +.  |
