Gettin' old?
Ahh, this is just something you learn to contend with. I haven't been very active mechanically, other than changing oil and other minor maintenance of cars for the last 20 years, it is harder now. I commented to a couple of my buddies just this last weekend, "this used to be more fun"! I sure don't bend like I used to and getting up off the concrete floor is alot harder than I remember it.
On the other hand, I spent the last 15-16 years involved in blackpowder shooting and historical reenacting. I've spent quite a few nites in the cold, the rain and other conditions that drive most normal people insane, if they're the least bit uncomfortable. I had a lady older than muself once ask, "why do you do that"? The only answer I could give, "I still can"! I guess I look at my old car the same way, It's still there and "I still can"!
I told my wife the other nite, when it comes to being miserable, wait until you have to load the car in the rain. It wasn't fun long ago and I'll bet it hasn't improved any with age, LOL.
I haven't done anything real dumb on this car as yet. There's still plenty to do, ample time for senior moments.
