Holly crap, I guess I’m in. Denial only works for a little while. I have a granddaughter that’s 13. Pretty sure I’d have to be more than 18 to pull that off. I’m happy to be a part of all you fine folks.

Hey stuko, my GD is also 13. We love to spend time together. Only time she gets to go fishin.

Grandkids are the best invention ever! It’s also the best part about growing older.

I believe it's a state of mind rather than an actual chronological age requirement. It's rare, but you can be 16 and be considered an old fart.
I believe that too Spiritof27. I’ll be 75 in June and I only feel like, well I’m 75. I’ve put too much wear and tear on this old body and it finally caught up with me. But, it’s been a hell of a ride.

At 75 (OF) I'm climbing slower, when 8000 feet and more so at 10,000 feet, but I'm still going. My sister said when I turned 50 that I was over the hill. I told her those were just foot hills and I'm still climbing. I'll do it 'til I can't. Hooah!!!!!!!

Keep on doing what you're doing until you can't because once you stop you can't start again

MadMac, first off, thanks for your service. I met a few Seabees in Quinon, Vietnam. You guys work your tails off. Now about those heart attacks. I’m sure your doing what you’re supposed to do, so just keep on keepin on. From the looks of that beard, you’re well on your way to being an old goat. Welcome to the flock. Baaaaaa!

Hack I came to the same conclusions. I looked at the number of white beards on the avatars and I knew I was home.

I have one at 23, one at 21, one at 18, two at 16, and two at 6. All but the 18 year old likes to fish, but even if none of them liked fishing, they are my pride and joy. I love having grandkids. I love going to all of their events and just being with them.
