Great post
Use it or lose it is what I have always have been told. My great grandfather lived, walked and did his farm chores until 101. He died in his sleep peaceful on his birthday. The couple who sold us our homestead, were in their 90's still running their other farm and he was still driving his truck. They came to see us after we bought our homestead to give a couple of pictures of when they lived here and wish us good luck.
Anyways homesteading is the life for us, and thanks again for the great post.
