50 in 4wks.
 

I will be 50 four weeks from tomorrow. So, I think I qualify for this forum, lol

Get off of my lawn, youngin.....

:lol:


Welcomish...

Given you will be starting your 51st year on Earth in 4 weeks, I say yes.

Durned kids!

There goes the neighborhood. :)

Welcome to 50+!

you ready? but are you? man, that was one dark day for me

While getting old sucks, it certainly beats the alternative. After a heart attack at 48, I am happy to see every new trip around the sun.

:thumb: for you and welcome, Chris.

Congrats! You're halfway there!

Go for a ride, and come back when your old enough.

NO, close but not quite yet.

IMO it is (was) a very special day, savor it and then come back. :lol:

ride 50 miles that day

The initiation is a colonoscopy (at least it should be). Welcome to "50+ medical issues"!

Halfway to where? From here, or there? And if there, how can "there" be halfway to "there?"

And anyway, where's the pie???

64 in 4 days. I was just talking with someone about orbiting the earth backwards, so you cross the International dateline west to east. With a low, say 8 hour orbit, yo could lose 2 days/24 hours. 14 years would take me just seven years! (I need a lower orbit! Maybe just clearing Mt Everest.)

A mere child still! I wish I could remember that far back (76).

Welcome!

Well now, you sure ruined that surprise. :foo:

That means you are still 49, now get off the lawn, come back in 4 weeks and 1 day. Then you can look behind the curtain of the Great and Powerful OZ!:lol:

My oldest son is right behind you. He'll be 50 in less than a year. :eek:

Hang around and enjoy yourself. Make sure you bring pie for everyone. ;)

Stay young at heart. I'm 52 and I don't understand why some of my peers (say +/- 5 years) act so old already. I mean, I still play xBox with my teenaged son, listen to Led Zeppelin loudly, and still participate in the company sports team with predominantly Millenials as my teammates.

Pfffft

Hmmmph ... a mere kid. What a difference 13 years makes: Frank/the Mothers, Who, Cream (and Blind Faith), Janis, Jimi et al. for me, along with Led. Saw 'em all live bitd, still listen to 'em loud*, along with the best of the later stuff. Pretty sure I appear ridiculous to peers/co-workers, but who cares?

*Well, according to others -- hearing at 65 not as acute as it was.

Congrats Chris!

In what seems to be about a month and a half, you'll be eligible for medicare!

Keep riding - it truly will keep your body young. I feel much fitter now than I did 15 years ago when I was your age.

What was the question?
How did I get here and who are you all?
The answer is "bicycling".

Think back to when you were four weeks from being 21. How did that work for you then?
