garypl Posted February 7, 2018 Report Posted February 7, 2018 67 here - feeling younger in my mind, but body sometimes feels older! I feel blessed every day when I wake up and realize it will be another good day! Gary Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4

Members Sheilajeanne Posted February 7, 2018 Members Report Posted February 7, 2018 I will turn 65 this year. Half the time, I think, 'how did I ever get to be SO OLD? I don't FEEL like I'm ready for retirement. The other half of the time, I'm thinking, 'well, you're getting too old for this s**t!' Quote

Just life is good. That is awesome. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with.

Members battlemunky Posted February 8, 2018 Members Report Posted February 8, 2018 Throw me in the 40's bucket too. I'll be 43 in September. Your 40s are certainly one of those cool segments of life. I feel like I know enough to know I know way less than I thought I did. Glad you made this thread Mutt. Kinda cool. Quote

That's the truth isn't it?!! I remember that age pretty well. Life experiences (having your ass handed to you) have a way of showing a person that they don't know quite as much as they thought they did. I'll be 52 in August, and feeling every one of those years most of the time. 1 hour ago, bikermutt07 said: Oh crap were we supposed to buy a Corvette instead of this? If I had back every dollar I've spent on "this", I could buy several! Quote
Members rodneywt1180b Posted February 8, 2018 Members Report Posted February 8, 2018 Depends on who you ask. If you check my driver's license I'm 52. My brain still thinks I'm 25, my body knows I'm at least 52-some days a lot older, and my wife and daughter are both convinced I'm about 12. Quote

Members Jake907 Posted February 8, 2018 Members Report Posted February 8, 2018 30 here, got a little time under my belt now, but I know I still have a lot of learning yet to do. I'm a heavy equipment mechanic, been at it for about seven years now, and finally in the last year or two I feel like I know what I'm doing, feelin pretty good, and my kids are getting old enough now to do stuff with, life is good. God is good. Quote -Jake North Country Leather and Wool
