Grumpiness has entered my home and hobby room.
I actually found myself having to tell kids to stay off my property.
I can no longer see proper detail on my 1/700 ships, especially the photo-etch. (I have just one to finish, and after that, that's it for that scale with PE.)
Modern pop music annoys me.
Too much alcohol ruins my sleep, and coffee no longer has any effect on my system.
I've left my garage door open overnight.

I AM NOW OFFICIALLY OLD.   :o

I have to build a fun, funny model, or I might as well call it quits.   :angry:
In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

No way!
I'm 68, nearly 69 even, and I'm not old, yet.............  ;D

As you yourself suggest, go and build something totally frivolous, ignore what anyone else says about it and ENJOY it!
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Radish

TOO RIGHT!!

Build something fun!! Let the Orks reign or Meerkats roam.
Let the imagination Fly...................

Modern music mostly, I agree, sucks.....had a great Glam Night last night though....all early '70s stuff. Fabulous.
And there's a massive selection of "proper" music, out there on cd, dvd and Live too.
ROCK ON!!

I'm boogieing away at 62 and a half with a younger wife too (still 60+ though lol),  and Mid reckons I'm  not 62, more 6+2=8.... ;D

NO WAY am I old. My mother says she goes to talk to the "old ladies" and she's 85!!! Young forever!!
My knees may creak occasionally, back have a twinge, but hey....keep moving.
Go bonkers, dude!!

Modern pop music has annoyed me since at least 1982 and I was still at school then....

Join the sci-fi themed build - a perfect excuse to build almost anything you damn well like and tell Mr. Accuracy to go and take a running jump to the F-16s and Spitfires table.

...and even then she is overestimating...  :wacko:

Knowing Mid, she would agree with you Duncan LOL.
I always hope for the best.
Unfortunately,
experience has taught me to expect the worst.
