Hey OP, I doubt that you can bench more than me. Do you have any idea how many times I lift 12 oz and what that adds up to ad the end of the day?
Olympic material I tell you!!

I have 13 grandkids and 2 great-grandkids (Honest) no tall tale here. Am semiretired (retreaded) and can't imagine having more fun (mainly due to them) My 8 year old grandaughter rode 15 miles with me the other day.

Being a paperboy at our age IS kinda crazy.
Maybe not senile - possibly a resident of CO, WA, AK, OR just celebrating a 4-20 moment of over exuberance.

Ridden over 300-thousand miles since the early 1970s.
Over 100 centuries, 6 double centuries.
Won 4 gold medals at Sr. Olympics a few years back. Am only 83 and still pedal 100 miles a week year round.
My wife has ridden over a quarter million miles and 100+ centuries and is only 81 and still rides.
Show some respect for your elders ---- boy!

I taught one grand daughter to drive a couple of years ago. I have 3 grand sons and one great who are coming up on driving age. I may take on the parallel parking teaching task in September but, so far, I've avoided the rest. If they depended on me to teach them to swim I might only have 13 grand kids and 2 greats.
