The best situation is a balanced combination of many years of experience and new age thinking with some open-mindedness mixed in.
A considerable amount of COMMON SENSE has a lot to do with it also.

Never go in and try to clean up another mans mess, people forget who made it and it becomes your mess and your fault.
 
I have a 25 year old brain trapped in a 66 year old body but I still have the need for speed.
 
What the hecks wrong with 60??? Feel 40. Still ski, hike, and hang with the young ones at the sand bar. Might want to look through another color beer bottle.
 
I like being 65 I get Medicare and I have an excuse readily available when I want to watch football and my girl friend wants to "well not watch football". Any way when you can drive a ski towing 2 tubes with 5 people and drive standing on the seat with your hands in the air I guess life is still good.

Oh comon Jeff, you hired a stunt man for that ;). So how do you keep the throttle up while standing? Don't tell me with your toes.

Oh dude where have you been for the past 16 years / I don't use my toes I did use my heel to apply the throttle on my skies when I drove SeaDoos on my back or jumping waves on my back many years ago because they had thumb throttles. That worked pretty good but now I use my Jeff cruise control I am sure someone has been paying attention and can enlighten you on how to make one of those for a ski, I posted it enough times.
Here similar thing different driving style. https://www.facebook.com/kimberly.m....1547226609/10213791986504343/?type=2&theater
I learned all my tricks when I was in the Polish Navy.
