Managing your fatigue is hard for everyone, but from my experience it get harder the older you are. That's where old guy seniority helps out. Use it. Throttle back. Don't pretend you are still 30 and can fly 7 days in a row (or more) plus a five day greenslip like you used to. So if you can manage you fatigue I don't see why 67 is a problem.
