60+ year old thread.

Hi everybody, I just joined the 60+ team last month. I’m also new to the forum. Not new to owning a Tacoma. I’m on my third one. Just bought a new 25 TRD Sport. I recently retired from my job at Toyota. The Sport is my retirement gift to myself. Anyhow, nice to meet you all. -Tim

 

insert "Peace Sign" here... Congrats.

 

Me to Chuck that's why I posted it

 

I think there's a transition point from 60+ that is just described as... old. Maybe "mature" for some people. But it all means the same thing... 60+. I've been here long enough to transition past 60+ if we are going to be technical about it. So far no one has kicked me out. Isn't there a point in life where beyond a certain age it doesn't really matter?

 

Cement!

 

Yeah I bought it when it was still cool. Now every car maker has a version. The nice part is it doesn’t show dirt much but still shines up subtly

 

Love it and Lunar Rock.

 

Nice looking Tacoma. TY for posting the pics.

Ken, that is the truth. Things change quickly at our age. I have found you have to embrace getting older and be positive when life throws you a knuckle ball.

Welcome to the thread. My son just purchased a new 2024 Tacoma SR5 and I have a 2009 base Tacoma, purchased new. The difference is quite astounding. The 4th gen Tacomas are really nice.

Good morning. I enjoy when members post pics of their Tacomas, especially showing them at work and at play


Getting back to a more normal daily activity today. Plugging away at cleaning the garage work bench area, selling stuff to downsize and reclaim space in the garage and sheds.

If you try to sell or give away items on Facebook Marketplace, have you noticed the number of persons that just like to mess with you by pretending to buy items then never showing up? I am able to sell or give the item away but why pretend you are interested in the item. They need to get a life.

 

Good Morning

Picked up a brisket from a Chapel Hill farm for my sweet chili.

 

Hard to believe she's Ravi Shankar's daughter.

 

Good morning

 

Good morning to all of us middle aged smart folks.. Took the dog for his morning walk and sprayed some weeds in the drive. Have to finish some more projects before the temps hit 90 again.. stay safe everyone

 

Did NOT know this.

 

Fun fact for you guys who grind your own coffee beans.

Coffee's flavor peaks or improves after "rest" - the notion of "freshly roasted" being the best is really a fairytale.

As the beans sit in the sealed bag, they release CO2. After a week or 2 the real flavor of the bean will present itself.

Some coffees may need 4-5, and I've heard of people resting for 7 weeks!

But if you just like your ground coffee, you can disregard my nerd fact.

 

71 here.

 

Welcome to the Porch Tim @Telvis . Porch is going to need an extension added on. A lot of new folks here and hopefully they stick around. Enjoy the posts andjoin in.

 

I think I ate too many figs yesterday. I could clear an area on the porch.



Wait, this isn't the 10 year old humor section?

 

I dont need figs to clear a room...nothing beats a good gas leak . Humor is in the ears of the listener

 

I'm thinking of starting a paint/wallpaper stripping business .... all I have to do is walk into a room and release!
