Re: geezers unite
I was born Feb. 1952, but feel 21 when I hear that big block rumble. I don't drive the Vette much, but it's safer that way. I get just as much thrill from the big block as I did at 21. I did a frame off on this one.
I'm a lucky man. I've had back surgery and hernia surgery, but I do anything I want. I still work 10 hrs pretty much every day, but I avoid stress, passed that off to the son in law. I like to drive big rigs, so when our equipment needs to be moved, I take the runs that have good scenery and cafes, and I usually take a loafer car buddy. I get to see a lot of neat cars and trucks in my travels.

Re: geezers unite
Well, I'll chime in here again. Passed the 75 mark last spring. I've mentioned my age several times here, but glad I can still TELL people my age. Is there someway to put brakes on Fathertime? I can sympathize with most of you "kids" in your 50s. It's a big adjustment to not have the energy we once had, but as you guys have mentioned how you dealt with it. I still do the same stuff, but much slower. It's amazing at how far the floor is from there UP than it was 35 years ago. Since we don't hear from GMC Jim anymore, am I getting near the oldest here?
My kids (in their 40s) and other young ones that grew up under our feet, when they ask when I'm going to grow up. I tell them and this is my goal to always be young at heart. Enoy the company of my only bride of 49 years, travel when we want and enjoy every minute we still have together. Do the best I can to always try to see something positive or humorous each day inspite of the circumstance. I'd like to be the same ol' pain in the rear and enjoy a prank or joke on friends and relatives as I always did. However there's not that many left anymore, and still really miss them. So let's stick together, twist some more bolts, and enjoy the adventures still to come.

![]() I know what you mean about our peers checking out. I get a quarterly retirement news magazine and when I first retired from the military 34 years ago I didn't know anyone in the obit section. After a few years I might see one, then later maybe two an issue. Now it's the exception when I don't see anyone I used to know. I guess we need to keep on truckin' if for no other reason then to set some records! ![]()

Re: geezers unite
Been a little over 4 years since I posted, now I'm 66 instead of 62 but still playing with cars and trucks. Wife and I have been together for 44 years after meeting on a blind date. She's still my buddy and my pal, three sons, two daughters-in law, 2 grandkids and # three in the oven due next month. Loving retirement and life everyday. Just finished my'71 Chevelle this past summer, getting geared up to go back on my '57 2dr sedan. Pics of the Chevelle after the paint this summer.

Re: geezers unite
Ironhorse, The Chevelle is looking good. I think we talked about the Chevelle's before. Here's my 71 SS454. I've owned it for 27 years. I've put about 2000 miles on it since that pic was taken 8 years ago.
flashed, you better play hard. The trip from 53 to 63 is a short one.

Re: geezers unite
I don't know how I got involved with this thread. I guess to give support and show respect to my elders. You geezers give me encouragement. I hope when I get old I'll be so active. I'm doing what I can to assure that happens, but some parts might be worn out by then.

Re: geezers unite
special-K, I know your three years behind me, but I hope you feel as good as I do when you get here.
In the meantime, I feel like I'm catching some of these other guys.
