164 now I am, 6 foot. Celebrated the end of 2016 with a tattoo, my first, and last, which my daughter wanted me to get with her, an elephant head in a tribal style, I love elephants. My daughter, as I was getting this on my shoulder, was whimpering and crying out, Jeez dad, doesn't it hurt? Think of something else I said, not so bad. Then she proudly said, " holy ****, you're 63 and ridiculously cut. She is by far my favorite daughter. JK, luv em all.

I have some grey (gray) hair. Of course, I didn't have very much at all until I went in to the 50+ forum for about 20 minutes.... I could feel my hair turning coloUr, and I had a sudden urge to go to McDonalds the next morning for breakfast and coffee.

I have a fair amount of grey/gray ( both spellings acceptable) but fortunately fewer and fewer each day. Course the downside is that fewer and fewer hairs are the cause.

Some good news on the elephant front: China has recently agreed to outlaw the ivory trade, which should significantly effect the poaching industry.

Yeah I read that, bout time. They are truly amazing animals, the only animal known that apparently mourns their dead as we do. The tattoo was a concession, not something I needed or particularly wanted but it did make my daughter very happy. My wife?......not so much so.

Oh and Billy, thanks for the message, obviously the problem worked itself out some how. This has happened before for short periods of time.

I bought my wife a toaster that besides toast, cooks bagels, muffins, hard boils or poaches or cooks eggs soft, medium or hard.
It was a belated Christmas present. She thought my daughter in law was buying her one but didn't so I ordered her one quick off of Amazon.
Thing works great.

In #adulting news, buying appliances sucks. We tried, twice, to get a nice five-door Whirlpool fridge, but both arrived with issues and were refused, and we got a refund to try an LG. Hopefully that will come successfully, but getting the food out of the old one in preparation is a pain, especially when you then don't actually get the new fridge.
Bah.
Bah.

I'm in my mid thirties, and have plenty of grey on top that I don't care about. But the few (dozens) stray gray hairs in my beard are NOT COOL.

Diet is going OK so far. Sucks being hungry all the time, though.
The worst bit is I haven't ridden yet this year. I was going to go yesterday, but figured I'd have time for a much longer ride today instead. Storms last night and now the trails are closed
Maybe they'll dry out in the next couple of hours enough for that long ride. Fingers crossed. If not, maybe I'll take the road bike out.

Also, my MTB's BB is making really heinous noises. Only 300 miles on that thing, but it grinds like crazy already.
How many of y'all do your own BBs? Should I start to tool up to do these myself (assuming it's needed often), or just go to the LBS?

I enjoy having all the tools necessary at hand in my own garage, and I buy on an as needed basis. But, it's a long drive to my LBS and my bike's a complete Frankenstein and a pain for anyone else to work on.

That's a pretty short service span! Did it get submerged?
Sometimes not-so-parallel BB shell faces can wreck BB bearings fast, so you might check that also.
