It looks like the people between the ages of 46 to 60 have the lead. I am a little surprised there are not younger people here. I guess at that age I was out doing other things also. Dale

I always wondered what it was like and now I know. For the first time in my life I'm the member of a MAJORITY! And just think, all I had to do was start getting old.

I'm 28 years young! Even though my lovely mother had to remind me of one of my youthful mistakes the last time I was home. She asked me if I felt stupid and I asked her why and she said that when I was around 13 or 14 I made the very youthful and stupid statement of saying that people over 24 were stupid. So I guess that one came back to bite me and I had to surrender and say "yes I do". Leave it to a mother to remind you of how many not so smart things you did or said when you were younger and supposedly smarter.

Just hit 56, so far...so good!

Just added another one to the early thirties list.
I'm at the tender young age of 34.
Does that mean I'm still "wet behind the ears"??
Looks like we need all the help we can get catching up to some of you more "seasoned" members!!

Kind of looks like we are a bunch of middle aged and old farts here.

Only 41 here - with my career it put alot of miles on the old bod and most of that dirt road. I'm still rollin and plan on bein here for awhile. Hooyaa

DalesCarpentry · « **Reply #38 on:** February 08, 2008, 05:19:20 PM »

So you are a 66 model too. I always say I need a 66 rebuild kit for myself. Dale

frogjake · « **Reply #39 on:** February 08, 2008, 05:44:07 PM »

I guess with all the stuff that medicine can do now ( hips, knees, hearts, etc.) It wont be too much longer and we can get rebuild kits. I'd like new valves, cam, new headliner, maybe some new paint, nice set of tires.

PLUS ball joints, tie-rods, springs, shocks, maybe some frame gusseting, HEADLINER for sure!

HID headlights would be nice...

I need new wheel bearing on both sides, plus a new intake breather filter. This one has been broken and fixed too many times. Oh yea! My steering is starting to suck also, might as well throw that in.

Just moving it to the front page again. Dale

DalesCarpentry · « **Reply #45 on:** February 19, 2008, 11:39:22 AM »

Yea out of 23604 members we only have had 130 vote. Dale

Sweetwater · « **Reply #46 on:** February 19, 2008, 02:02:32 PM »

Just added my vote to a part of the majority, or maybe we just haven't heard from the younger set as of yet. Took me a bit to get the bifocals around to where the poll was to vote on.

A few years back I belonged to a convention that had a large group of us from 1949. It was such that they had a group birthday party when we all turned 40 (I said this was a few years ago!). Gave us gag-gift stuff like alarm clocks, slippers, All-Bran. It was a kick being a 49'er.

I used to love to listen to my Grandfather tell stories of hunting and logging. I grew up less than 150 miles away and we were together every hunting season and every summer. Now I am one and the closest grandkids are 800 miles away. Something wrong with this picture. I have come to realize that as my wife puts it, you are just not 25 anymore! Actually, I remember 43 as being my best year as far as health goes. I had taken off nearly 40lbs and my knees hadn't started hurting, yet. That came nearly 6 years later. By 50, I hurt in places I'd forgotton about, or taken for granted. My Dad said, Son, You've arrived!

Regards,
Sweetwater

Sorry, I accidentally skewed the poll, I clicked the 41-45 button instead of the 46-50 button. I am 46, but will be 47 by the end of this poll. I thought I hit 46-50, but when it showed me the results the 41-45 was in bold. What age did they say you start losing your close focus vision? Must be about 46!

I will be 42 in a couple months and my eye sight started to go down hill at 40. That really stinks I had better that 20 20 vision my whole life and now I can't read the paper without glasses. As far as not being able to change your vote that is my fault. When I set up the poll I never considered that people might have a birthday before the poll closes or that they might make a mistake. Seem like every poll I run I always forget something. Dale

Hey, ya I am 13 turning 14 very soon. I like all this stuff. I guess I am not like a lot of other teenagers my age. Granted I spent the night of at my friends house and I play COD4 for like 15 hours. lol I have to have fun too!

DalesCarpentry · « **Reply #57 on:** February 20, 2008, 03:03:51 PM »

MT
It is rude to bring up weight in this conversation---it's bad enough about the age--I said as I look at my swelling belly.
