Hello everyone... I’m about 49 and three months, so technically I’m cheating when I post to this forum I guess.
But, in my defense though, I was a Heavy Equipment Diesel Mechanic for over 18 of my 49 years, and anyone who has ever worked in that field should agree it ages you about 7 years to every 1. So, in that respect I am somewhere around 139 years old, which feels about right some mornings.
I also like pie, and totally understand the concept of the pie ride… Apple is still my favorite, but peanut butter is coming in a close second.
So, hopefully I won't get kicked out... But, if I do I"LL BE BACK.

I remember the day in my 3rd grade class when the President was shot in Dallas. The teacher was so upset she could no longer teach. So I do qualify to post here.

We are the same age. I can still visualize the scene on our playground at recess when my third grade teacher came out and told us that President Kennedy had been killed.

A couple of years ago I got myself a winter training machine and set it up to simulate a time trial, just to see how I'd do. Thinking I'm a fit windsurfer, paddler and so on, I thought it seemed pretty fast... when I checked the time/distance chart, my time came out as comparable to an 82 year old... trouble is, I was 48 at the time! (I'm not saying it was me that ticked the 80+ box, by the way.)

I notice no one is owning up to checking that 80+ box!

Excellent! Celebrating many anniversaries seems like so much more of an achievement than just getting old. 36 anniversaries? That's quite an accomplishment! Congratulations!
