What is your self-worth
I think I'm going to cause too much "Cylinder Envy" with this one, and I'm sure my age is going to only make it worse...
I'll ease into it slowly, I was born in the 60's and my CI is DEFINITELY into the triple digits, in fact just what's at home is tickling 3 digits.
Best of luck.

Lucerne, actually my (second) wife is a little younger than I am, but your probably right though...
Maybe we should sub-divide the CI so that we can clarify the 'play' items from the 'working' items, we could use a DCI (Diesel Cylinder Index) and a GCI (Gas Cylinder Index) to see if the old 'Boys & their toys' adage holds true.
So lets see, not counting 'company' cylinders, because that wouldn't be a fair measure.
Age = 39, DCI = 42, GCI = 62
Fuel bill..... priceless,  .
Best of luck.

I feel older than that......
I guess a heart-attack at 37 didn't help any.
I just look at it as a head start at old age, get it all over with early and enjoy the rest of the time, God willing.
Best of luck.

Mark, unfortunately I had a crap-shoot to start with, genetics set the rules, we can only improve the odds a little.
Everyone on my mother's side of the family were very long-lived and enjoyed great health. She has an uncle who will be 98 this coming August. He still keeps his own home and cottage and drives himself back & forth, WITHOUT GLASSES even.
My Dad's father had a massive stroke in his early fifties and was unable to work the rest of his life. They now figure he had suffered several heart-attacks also, but had 'worked through them'.
As for the experience, etc., the way I figure it is I worked 80 or 90 hours a week for MANY years so I actually have 40 years experience not 20, at least that's my story and I'm sticking with it.
As I've said before, that's over now, I am now strictly following a 'light duty' schedule.
I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to look after the one machine we think of the least, ourselves.
Take the time to enjoy life, your family and all the things the good Lord has blessed you with.
Best of luck.

Mark, I know what you mean about early treatment.
I was very lucky, mine happened while I was on a deer stand at our camp. When I failed to make a twice an hour radio check-in my cousin came looking for me. Fortunately he was sporting a first-class hangover and had a bottle of aspirin in his pocket. Another member of the group also had nitro. with him. By the time they got me out to a clearing at the highway the air ambulance was already landing. They had me into the Cardio ICU in no time flat and were pumping me full of clot-busters and stuff.
The doctor told afterwards it would have been fatal if I had been alone at the time or had not got the treatment I had as fast as I did.
By the time I was out of the hospital the doctors (and my good wife) had me on a very strict diet, exercise and lifestyle regimen. When I went in for my 18 month checkup the Doc said I was 100% with almost no visible residual damage and no blockages. He told me I had to conitinue to play by the rules because he didn't like having 'repeat customers', I told him not to be offended if I never saw him again.
I learned my lesson, no amount of money or success is worth that price.
Best of luck.
