Yeah, but like I used to tell my uncle (in his early 70s at the time), "Them ain't highway miles, unc."

At football practice when he was 17 he had a compound, external fracture to his femur. That landed him a steel rod, plates, screws, etc. He later fell out of a tree stand while hunting. Several years later he fell off a house and broke his back. All of this happened while he was working 12 hour swings at a plant, some of it in management.

Those were offroad miles, and they took their toll.
