Turning 62 this coming week. Definitely not as spry as I was just seven years ago. But I'm looking forward to retiring in a few years.

Your getting close but not until you get one of these !

I've done machining for half my life. My dad always told me "They make those cranes for a reason", as I was always lifting parts into the machine. He told me it would catch up to me, but I was too gung-ho to wait for the crane. Now that I've hit 50, he was definitely right. My back seems to hurt more every day and anything seems to tweak it. And, I have one of those pill thingys already.

I no longer trust my farts if that counts?

That is a great quote from Hunter S Thompson. Of course his life ended with his .44 at his temple. What a ride indeed

I think i've read about 95% of the published words HS Thompson wrote. His template for living will lead to a bad result for most humans. But it is a cool idea. I hope to die w/ my boots on, doing something. I want to feel it, as crazy as that sounds.

71 year old GOF here. I've had a lifetime of adventure and never thought I'd live to see 21. Nam grunt, traveled internationally in the oilfield during my 30's, wildland firefighter in my 40's and 50's.

When I was a young man I could pee over the hood of my truck. Now I have to hold it up with both hands to keep from peeing on my boots.

MAYBE>>>I guess I'll bring up the rear. Going to be 81 in July hopefully. And again, hopefully I will post again at 90.

Well, for sure you fit into the OF category, but you have yet to be proven grouchy/grumpy!

Wife is retiring tomorrow and will be at home with me full time. Pretty sure this will push me from the OF category to GOF rating in a very short time.

My dad is 87. I laughed at him one time when he got a minor "boo boo". He said "just wait til you're old. Those little bumps that used to not hurt are gonna hurt way more." I sorta turned my ankle a little the other day. I thought, "dang, dad was right."

"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming 'WOW! WHAT A RIDE'---Hunter S Thompson

i agree with the latter part of this,, skid in saying dam that was a cool ride!!!!

This really made me laugh

I qualify for this. I have the pill box, worn out knees, hands, and neck. I had to build a 1400 sq.ft. cabin a couple years ago with my lifetime friend just to show my kids and grandkids that you can still do anything even when you are old. I plan to keep on skidding in for as long as I can. The day I cross home will be my last.
