Not counting the time on the 'fire, of course. Anything youthful you still like to do?

I am not sure how I am supposed to act, but my wife calls me a man boy.

Still play basketball, wakeboard, water ski at 65

I can see that coming to an end before long!!

No, I dont.

I act much older.

God, I hope not!

40 going on 21......
(last Sunday afternoon)

lmao

My wife doesn't think so. Been practicing wheelies on my new mountain bike.....

Straight up gansta.....

Nope,never have never will.

looking at young pretty women, but much wiser now as to how alluringly dangerous they can be.

I much prefer to run toward and engage hostile gunfire.

i was around when Harry Truman was pres. look at my picture
i was out riding my honda 110 in the snow and ice yesterday until the wife caught me. think its time to nickname her broomhilda or some such.

Try any purplemuthafukkers at 40?

Absolutely!

When I was a child, I was commended for acting like an adult. As an adult, I am criticized for being childlike.

mosdy

God, I hope not!

Never have, never will.......but, you might ask me again in 10 years.

Negatory.

Been on a Patron kick lately and that chit makes me feel young again.

ppfffttt!

Absolutely Not. 70 is the new 30 except w/ pain and little short term memory. My elderly wife and I hiked just over 7 miles today in the Egan Range of central Nv. w/ gain/loss of more than 4000' feet of vertical. We just returned to our motel and are easing the pain w/ gin prior to heading out later for Mexican food.

Life is good if you don't weaken.....and are very, very fortunate.

Sometimes it is unavoidable

While I am deteriorating in the physical realm, I am an ardent follower of Peter Pan in that I never intend to grow up in terms of behavior. ( I realize that this is rather hard to believe for those who follow the serious nature of most of my posts, but there it is.)

I do the day after.

Well, I'm sitting here chuckling at the Michelle Obama portrait thread. You tell me.

No. I'm 22 but act older. Anal record keeping and saving like my grandparents, married (at 18), and saving for a down payment on a land loan currently. Never liked parties, prefer to read (have a library of 500+ centered around WWII, Civil War, Texas history), coin collector, and I wear boots and a hat daily. I'm an old fart already.

If I hang on to may child like ways just a little longer I can make it to my second childhood.

Of course I do. I got no time for a bunch of damn silliness in my life.

2 years ago, my 63rd birthday is 3 weeks away, our annual 3 day party for opening day of dove season, next to last man standing, 3AM, singing Karaoke, dancing & trying to act like Prince or some other fool on stage. Took the better part of a year for my knee too heal. After that I decided to start acting, or at least consider my age. Did better last year, toned it down, Texas Flood by Stevie Ray was my best effort. Only took about a week to heal & get re-hydrated.
Thank goodness their are no pics.

Hangovers suck more the older I get!!!

Depends on alcohol intake.

I had to give up alcohol. Hangovers were one reason. Beyond that I really didn't need any help acting stupid.

I envy you guys that still have the physical ability to whatever you want. I'm not that far off but I'm at a point if I want to ..say...hike up the side of a mountain, I have to get in shape for it, and then I'll be sore for 4 days afterwards.

Oh I still do the same stuff. I just stink at it now.

Backpack hunt in the Rocky Mtns. Hopefully climb a 14-er or two this summer. See live music at Red Rocks amphitheater. Drink one too many beers, occasionally. Pull stupid pranks on my sons. I guess the list goes on.

I have to get old. But they can't make me grow up !

^

My motto is:

You're only young once, but you can be immature forever!

WORD !!!

My wife told me to act my age the other day, I told her to get out of my fort.

I bought a new bike to celebrate my 60th year last year.
https://motocrossactionmag.com/first-look-the-2017-husqvarnas-are-here/

I ache like hell all the time but feel pretty good riding and the older I get the faster I was. Old, fat and slow but still do it.

I still laugh at my own farts and try to get my wife to laugh too.

I generally try to make the most of what's left of life and not let it all get me down too much. That will keep you down.

Will be 63 in April. Don't get hangovers. I could act a lot younger if so many joints weren't worn out.

My joints are HORRIBLE. I am going in tomorrow for a 4th shoulder surgery. At least I'll have an excuse for acting like an idiot when I am loopy from the meds.

You don't have to but it's preferable to the alternative.

Lots of youthful things I want to do.....but old age is starting to “intervene “! memtb

I forget to act my age occasionally. But my body always brings me back to reality.

I broke a few big stumps into fireplace sized chunks a couple days ago with a splitting maul. My rotator cuffs objected.

I *think* I'll be able to raise my arms above my head today. We'll see.
.

Trying very hard to avoid doing that.

I act my age if it is currently 1964 still....

Sammo,

Word brosseph !











At work, I'm professional, but retain my sense of humour !

That backdrop don't look much like the Dryden in February as I know it Paul. Was it a shock when you got back to the Great White North?

Yes Richard,

In Canadian speak, we went from an average of 30*C in the Caribbean to -36*C on arrival back home !!

Nope, I still run with the young folks. Someone has to teach them how it's done.

Not even close. I have frequent water fights with my 10 year old boy and his friends, even in cooler weather. When we go to the beach I stay in the water for hours, riding waves and throwing football. Heck, I stay in so long that the skin starts to come off the bottom of my feet. I’m the only Dad around that sled rides with his kids. Pot bellied country boys around here all want to stay on their four wheelers, in the snow. I can’t imagine growing up and being serious all the time.

Deb doesn't mind a bit o' deer ridin' !

I dunno. How is 77 supposed to act?

Lmao! Drinkin that stale areola!

What a bad a$$!

I have more sex than I did as a kid. Spent too much time drunk then.

,...and you couldn't catch the calf.

Injuries have slowed me some.
Stuff takes longer to heal.
Surgeries needed in the near future.
Bad back/shoulders due to genetics.
Be OK after that.

I still do all I used to, just a little slower and not as well.

Hurting all the time does make me tire sooner.

Am 54.............the ol lady says I act like I'm 25.
I tell her I still phook like I'm 49.
She's 6 yrs older than me so that shuts her up.

I had caught a snake and cracked it like a whip and it exploded all over me

You reminded me !! I've posted these before, from last years family cruise to Mexico.

Deb & I were 51 then.

I heard my theme song on the juke box yesterday- " I'm Much Too Young To Be This Damn Old"- Garth Brooks,. while I was acting my age at my favorite watering hole.

"I'm as good once, as I ever was" !

Paul, you have life figured out, most excellent adventures!


Edwin, love the Stella skunk!

Take it easy on those snakes....

Good pics!!

Thanks Sam!

Maturity is over rated !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with the hangover comments. It seems like right around when I turned 50 that it doesn't take much to end up hungover. it seems like 3 beers will do it, I still do like a shot of tequila now and then.

Acting your age is not fun!!

I had a frightening experience the other day, I woke up in the morning and nothing hurt, I though for a moment I had passed away during the night.

Great pics..working the clam

I have no practice acting my age. Older tomorrow than today and I've never seen guidelines on the topic.

Fireworks!!! Shoot lots of fireworks.

I will be 64 in may and until a few weeks ago I felt much younger than 63, seems over night the joints in both shoulder stated to ache from morning to night.
Just the simple task of lifting up my arm to close the rear truck cap shot pains. Got to get it checked out..

I never really grew up, just learned how to act in public. Some of my friends would even argue that. I was at the supermarket today and I rode the shopping cart up and down the isles like I almost always do. It drove my ex crazy. Life is too short to be serious all the time.

Jack Nickleson said the older you are the more important it is not to act your age..

Mostly, I have to realize I am not 25!!!

I built by hand a log cabin at age 64, most 32 year old guys could not do that kind of work.
That was 2 years ago, now, to celebrate an old guy acting young, I need to bang a stacked 18 year old coed, like I used to do in college.

Ladders have become my fear. If I can't get my arms out ahead of me I won't go higher. Likely driven by the fall from height deaths I have seen/heard of on our projects. When I retired anyone going outside, anyone, was required to wear a full harness.

I think I do act my age. In my 69th year I hike and climb mountains more slowly. I've worked at lightening my pack. I ride dirt bikes but no longer race. I train some but no longer box. I don't even hit the heavy bag much due to arthritis in my wrists. I quit considering drinking a worthwhile recreational pursuit forty years ago. All in all, I'm fairly mature, I think. GD

Taught my wife to snowboard, 7 years ago, at age 45.

Heading out again this weekend, at age 52 !!

Be very afraid!

A ladder collapsing cost me 70% of the use of my left arm and re-broke my back three years ago. I've literally cracked two teeth, gnashing down from pain, but I won't take any narcotic pain meds. A fall from a ladder killed my wife's boss years ago; he was 73 and broke a leg and hip.

I still do everything I ever done, just slower so yes I do act my age.

...... Bump.....

A 60 mph selfie on my Harley, last summer taken on a week long solo road trip at age 81

God, I hope not.

Used to teach the Westminster shorter catechism to junior highers but was asked to take over 5th & 6th graders. Hunting partners who are/were teaching pards said it was because I needed to teach to my maturity level.

Of course I act my age. I'm only 17 in a 76 year old body.

Ah, Paul, it's about those flags, it's fine with me, but.

Just sayin'

Don't know. At 66, how am I supposed to act.

Richard, I'm good with any of the 3, just don't tell me any of them need changing !

Love ya bro but you might be being generous!
