Post by: Clayton Berry on December 23, 2011, 05:36:25 PM: My older brother flies FF. They're not spring chickens either.

But, as I get older, I'm getting stronger. Years ago, my thing would stick out and I couldn't do anything but stare and admire. Now I find that I can make it bend a little bit.

I used to only be able to carry a bag of groceries that cost about $25. Now I can carry one with $35 - $40 worth of stuff in it. And not just bran flakes, either.

Post by: RDJeff on December 30, 2011, 09:27:30 AM: I guess I'm well short of the average at 55! I'm just getting back into the sport after almost 40 years.

I still race a TZ250 though, so I must be younger than I think!? ???
Title: Re: Did anyone notice this?
Post by: GGeezer on December 30, 2011, 10:42:14 AM: Quite a number of years ago when I was approaching 50, I devised a math problem for my then young daughter. The question was, if I started counting backwards and she continued to count birthdays normally, when would we be the same age? Well, this year (2011) we both celebrated our 29th birthday with a big party!
Now, here is a problem for all you math whizzes out there; I devised the problem in 1991, how old am I?
Man! Where does time go... when it's not around here?
