I've been working on the design for a bird feeder for a garden. It will be a life size sculpture of a man holding a tray for the seeds. It will be in concrete and should weigh about 90 kg. It is a labour-intensive project, so I will wait about another month before I start. In the meantime I am planning a painting of clivias for my ex wife.

Do knees count as age related? Both my knees give me hell but the right knee is seriously jacked up. As much as I dislike doctors I'm working on seeing someone.

Yes and no. Knees can a problem for people in their teens, if they play certain sports. However, not counting sports-induced injuries, one's knees and other joints do start deteriorating naturally. In your case it's probably related to all the sporting activities you enjoy.

I have traumatic arthritis from playing football (American) in high school. It taught me that you pay for everything in this life.

That's what we call the First Law of Thermodynamics in physics.

The second law says that we don't even break even, owing to that pesky entropy term.

Here is a Asmo-logic straight from The Tome;

1. The Asmo knows people who play sports.
The Asmo does not know people who have not ever injured themselves playing sports.
Therefore, sports lead to injuries.

2. The Asmo knows people who munch upon junk food.
The Asmo knows no people who have ever injured themselves while munching on junk food (An occasional bit tongue or coffee burn notwithstanding)
Therefore, junk food is obviously far safer than sports.

Yeah, I've ruined my shoulder to a rather painful extent, but anti-inflammatories work wonders when it starts acting up.

I suspect that most of them "old age issues" are entropy - yes - but entropy helped by life choices, and to a not-inconsiderable degree.

For me it's osteoarthritis that's the big one. I've had 5 or 6 surgeries on my feet because of it, and have it to some extent in every joint. I also have a condition called monoclonal gammopathy that is currently not causing me problems, except for mild anemia.

This one is not not age-related. I've been walking around with the remains of a tooth that had been root canal treated years ago, but that had crumbled gradually until only the root was left. It was painless, so I didn't bother having it seen to during my prostrate treatments. My dentist felt it was better to have the roots removed by a dental surgeon. I saw one yesterday; he detected a cyst under the roots when he looked at the X-ray scan of my mouth. Less than an hour later I walked out sans roots and cyst, with instructions of what to do if the pain became bad. After almost 24 hours, I have felt absolutely no discomfort or pain and slept well last night. I had my usual breakfast this morning, without feeling anything.
