60+ year old thread.

Evening all:
Welcome Salty_Dog, pull up a chair on the porch, there's a few of us here on the 70 plus side.

 

By all means! We can always use another 70+ on the porch. Don't worry about the cooler, its plum full of your favorite beverage. Be careful though, you're on the short list for duty cooks. . . Welcome aboard pollywog!

 

Welcome Tim. I'll be joining you in the 7th decade in 2 more months. Pull up a chair and enjoy the conversations. Gets slow in here sometimes during nap time but someone is always around.

 

Morning all:
Finally got the speakers hooked up to the computer, had them since I got it but never hooked them up. I wanted to watch and listen to a predator hunting DVD and ended up driving the cats nuts when the guy was calling coyotes, they were on high alert!

 

Well because of this thread, I decided to sign up. 66 in Jan and just bought a 2018 TRDOR 4 door. After being a long time Jeep owner (9) and wife has 2015 Rubicon Unlimited, I decided to get something different. Already put the Tuffy bed lockbox in and console lockbox probably this weekend. Rock sliders and armor in planning stages.

 

Wow, all these new members. I love it! This is a pretty accommodating bunch, I think you'll find them pretty easy to get along with. Except Mike of course -- he's a curmudgeon.

So my 'cold' turned out to be the FLU. Yecchh. Today is the 8th day and I'm finally feeling up to venturing out of the house. Should also be non-contagious at this point too. I haven't had the flu in a long, long time, forgot how hard it can hit. Keep yourselves healthy!

 

Carl, that is too funny about the cats and the predator calls.

I can just see them now LOL.

 

If you really signed up because of this thread I am so sorry for your loss..

These people are old...

 

I turned 60 last November. Just bought my first Tacoma after being a Chevy fan for years. 60 is the new 30.
Watch TV when you are old
Sleep when you die

 

Welcome to the new folks, Bob and Greg. Glad to have you on board. A few youngsters(@Tacoma Mike, @MQQSE) stop in from time to time to check up on us and a very nice young lady(Susan) stops by to say hi and see how we are doing. Pull up a rocker and chat a bit.

 

welcome from a wanna be..... will be an official member before too long.....

Happy to hear you are feeling better... news was saying there's another version going around now

welcome

thanks Ken Won't be long now....

 

The flu sucks. I had it 4 years ago with pneumonia and thought I was going to die. Was out of work a month and I usually am a pretty healthy guy. Hope you get over it sooner.
I never got a flu shot until after I had it. I can see why so many people die of it

 

Same happened to me (not as long off work though). I imagined being a hunter/gatherer and realized that me and my family would have starved. No energy to do nothing nohow!

 

Thought I was getting old too. BUT, went to my 50-year High School class reunion yesterday. Looking at the old classmates, I feel like I'm 55 again !!

Welcome to the new folks .... this is a great thread with lots of knowledgeable folks.

I almost went to a reunion a few years ago.
I see a few pics of people I went to school with.
OMG they are now ugly, fat, bald, wrinkled.
I don’t want to remember my high school days with visions of that.....

 

Evening all:
People still recognize me from years ago, BUT BOY THERE IS A DIFFERENCE! Not that much heavier, not bald, not that many wrinkles, but I just look OLD!!!!!
Give it another couple of years Mike, you'll get there, maybe not the fat, bald, and wrinkled part though.

Just thinking, PA trout opens Sat. and I will be making my 7+mi. annual hike to fish the river, wonder how many of those are left in me!!!!!!!!!!

 

I’m there already. I just don’t look in the mirror...

 

Any one her still have Mom or Dad around? Built an in law apartment on to my house 12 years ago for my parents. Dad passed away 5 years ago Mom still lives there.

 

Morning All

Missus got her notice for her 50th class reunion for June. She doesn't want to go. Asked her why and she said "Because I don't" . If I gave her an answer like that the argument would start .

I knew I was getting old looking when I looked in the mirror one day and my Grandfather was looking back. Hope you do good with the trout Carl. Take care and be careful on the hike to the river.

Lost my Dad almost 50 years ago (cancer), Mom passed about 15 years ago. Both in-laws are gone as well. Take care of Mom Pudge and enjoy every moment with her.
