That’s a switch. Lets take it from the top.
So Chuck…you are how old?[:)]
Sixty Five and a half.
Still able to suck in air, blow out a little steam and fart in between.
Not bad for an old fart and I can still climb that grade.
When I look in the mirror I have to ask myself, who is that guy?
Trains keep me young.
Well Chuck, that deserves a response.[;)]
I’m only about 12 months behind you and I don’t think that matters at this point.
About 4 weeks ago I unexpectedly had to have a “stent” installed. [B)] But now my cholesterol has dropped to 143 and I feel fine. Great prognosis, I’m told. No other problems. [^]
And I know what you mean about that mirror thing![:0]
We’ve got a great hobby…maybe the world’s greatest.[:p]
Well Chuck, my age is allmost 50, and that is a “delicate” age [:I] ,
I prefer to think I am getting more experienced than getting older
at least next year I am allowed to join the "ANBO " the dutch organisation of senior citizens [oX)]
maybe I should post a topic "Who is the most Middle-Aged " as I think I do not qualify for the oldest nor the youngest poll!
Wow, I feel so young at 39[:D]! Thanks guys.
I give up, Chuck, your older than me, at 54.
Well…There’s always Don.[}:)][:p][;)][:)]
Experience and wisdom…That’s it![^]
It ain’t me. At 43 I’m somewhere near the middle, chronologicly speaking. How old I feel is a different story, and changes from day to day.
If you’re DCC, you can catch up. I still do things the old fashion way.
Me? Suffice it to say I am a old broken down former brakeman and poor excuse for a forklift driver and a sorry excuse for a model railroader.[:O]
Well, they say…with age, comes wisdom.
I’m still waiting for this wisdom to kick in, because I’m 45 and I still screw up all the time.

Well let’s see…
I don’t feel old and I’m certainly not young, so I guess I’m somewhere in between. What would you
consider 35? A younger old man or a older young man. [%-)][8D]. Dave
That makes you about early diesel era, around the F7s.
I may get older, but I’ll never grow up. At 68 and counting, I enjoy running my trains.
Good health to all, may God bless you and yours.

I turned 66 in May… I don’t think you have to worry about until you STOP gettin older, the trick is to run out of track before you run out of steam !!!

In the words of Jimmy Buffett, I am growing older but not up!
KIds! - all of you
OK, 'Madman" Murray, 75 - but my dog is 77.
'Your’e only as old as you ‘feel’. Have you felt anyone lately?
To quote Groucho Marx (who?): “May you live as long as you want to (and want to, as long as you live”).
I’m 68 and at that agonizing moment in life when I keep asking myself “shall I or shall I not?” and by that I mean shall I start a whole new layout or shall I keep my present layout and just make changes. \i have not yet decided and probably shall keep on putting off a decision untill it is too late.
Anyone less then 60 is a young squirt!! I’m a few months away from 64 and loving every minute of it. Life, I feel, gets better as we get older. Even with her incapicitating stroke the wife and I are closer now then any time in our almost 40 years of marrage.
I am firmly convinced that model railroading keeps us young. How can you worry about the problems in Tim-buck-to, Kansas when you’ve got a engine facility to layout and build. It makes for a nice evening when I can go play God and do things MY WAY. The biggest problem I have is my halfhimers. It wouldn’t be so bad if I could choose what half to forget, but that’s not the way it is.
Have a blessed day and remember SANTA FE ALL THE WAY
Bob
