There is one advantage to being an old fogey. You get help from a variety of good samaritans. For example: We were driving through Texas and blew a camper tire. The DH proceeded to gather the tire-changing tools and I stood by the road looking helpless. Within a few minutes, a couple of young Texans came by and changed our tire. Another time, we were at the lumber yard trying to load sacks of cement when a young man came running over and said, "Here, let me do that for you." The day we were struggling to unload a television set ---in the box-- from the truck in front of our house, a pickup pulled up, three guys jumped out, grabbed the box and carried it into the house. Whew! Rescued again. So if you see a couple of oldies in distress, stop and give them a hand. Someday you may need help yourself.
