Change a diaper. In 27 seconds I can have a poopy baby wiped, diped and ready for smooching.

Plan an invasion, yes.

Butcher a hog, yes.

Conn a ship, yes

Design a building, no.

Cook a tasty meal, hell yeah!

Fight efficiently, I have in the past. But age is a deceiver and it may not be the case anymore. Still and all I used to be able to kick people in the face who grabbed me from behind, if that tells you anything. Always a surprise as I don't look like I should be able to do that. On two different occasions my assailants actually looked behind them thinking someone else had hit them.
That and I'm a damn good shot with pistol, rifle and shotgun.

Die gallantly. Oooo a question frought with the pitfalls of hubris for the still living.. that's best done as an observation, not a prediction.

Try not to take yourself too seriously.

Fricken laugh once in a while.

Paint yourself up for Halloween

Check into a hotel surreptitiously under an assumed name. With your wife.
