51. Richard Martin, I agree with you. Now I understand some replies more since I can appreciate the perspective from which they were written. Nothing wrong with being young(er), though, wish I was too. Also, not intending to offend anyone. Age doesn't mean a lack of knowledge.

I wish I could start over - at about 25.

[HOMER]

39 April 15th.
Extra weight put on this winter from sitting here all the time makes me feel as old as a "STONE", and just as lazy!

80 degrees yesterday, time to shed this insulation and get back to my normal imagined age of 25.

I can remember when I was 25 saying "Man, there has to be a better way".

I said that for 9 more years til I got off my pitiful ars and did something about it.

Time fly's if your having fun or if your miserable, I chose to let it fly while enjoying the view from the window seat, not the aisle!

Have a nice day and be thankful you can read this.
Do something nice for somebody today and tomorrow your world will be a brighter place.

32.5 is the average age so far.

[moonarrow]

Physically I will be 51 in June but as most of those that know me mentally I am much younger, I guess that has to do with the fact that I promised Peter Pan I would never grow up

I reckon time does fly!

First time this was started I was 39 or gonna be, can't remember!

My Buddy Eric was still alive and so was Dales wife.....not they're both gone.

As long as I can still count them I guess I'll be happy...........turning 41 on Tuesday. Funny how grey hair starts popping up when you get this age.........found some on my neck this morning before I shaved. Got some in my "stache and goat" but haven't seen any on my neck til now.

And what about that hair that grows in the darndest places.........why is it your old ars body will grow hair where you don't want it or need it but it won't grow it where you do want it...........like on the top of my boney head!!!!!!

Oh well........I'm still having fun and kickin' grass.

Life has been good to me.......all I need to do is take a step back and look at what I have..............wife for the past 23 years........2 beautiful girls and one up and coming grass cutter....10 now.....but I assure you he'll be starting a lot earlier than I did!;)

Ya........round about 40 you do realize the best things in life are free. If I could go back and undo some of the messes I've gotten my self into I would. You younger guys take notice...........seek a bunch of financial assistance along the way and don't apply for every credit card that has your name on it...........it's real easy to become a victim.........and a slave to your creditors. Buy when you can.............but be patient.........stress will really add the years to your life.

And to think all I really needed to do was type in 2 numbers.

40 until Tuesday........life moves on..............don't blink:rolleyes:
