G'day Joe. Having taken up the challenge at 62½ myself just before Christmas 2017, it's challenging enough without the reflex response and retentive muscle memory of youth on side, let alone with possible mechanical encumbrance from side effects of stroke. [br][br]Keep in mind [u]the prime objectives[/u] at our age, (i) enjoy the journey, and (ii) take satisfaction from whatever progress one can make in the time remaining. Keep cognizant of those, and maintaining an attitude of persistence and positivity will defer frustration when the obstacles present as inevitably they will, and do for all. [br][br]Have fun with it, and all the best.
