I can understand where you are coming from kind of, the GF is a huge help to me with a lot of things. For me, I don't walk so well and carrying some things doesn't end well at times. Bad part is when you go out for it or buy it it is rarely as good as what you make yourself.
But I give you a lot of credit, I can't seem me doing that at 87 doubtful I will see 87. We are both fortunate to have great ladies holding us up.
