Gene Im with you I think.I think I'm the oldest ole geezer to check in here.
I'm pushin 73 and the wife is pushin 69, (I robbed the cradle too) I dont feel a day over 50 except when I first get up in the morning then I walk around like Im 103.
Although we dont travel far Im not ready to park the aluminum Yet as long as I can still lift the hitch I'm good.
Everyday is a blessing too me. Im not ready for the alternative YET.GOOD HEALTH TO YOU ALL///\\\ SEE YA DOWN THE ROAD

Coming up on the 66 one, wife is 56. You're as young as you feel and act, now if my body would only listen!

I don't know about you under-30s - but when we bought our trailer in our early 30's we got a lot of ribbing from folks asking if we were going to have to dye our hair gray to hang with the old folks! Of course, they didn't understand that age means nothing when you're all sitting around the campfire!

…because it's dark out and no one can see the color of your hair.
Mikethefixit, you are older than me and I'm glad someone is; it gives me something to look forward to.

You know, it dawned on me that maybe it'd be interesting to know at what age folks bought their Airstreams. (We were in the 40-to-50 crowd back then.)

78 and loving it. Everybody wories about getting old, but think of the alternative.
People should embrace growing old as lots of people don't make it.

The universe is about 13.7 billion years old and we are each made of recycled particles that have been floating around in one place or another for that long so, technically, aren't we all the same age at 13.7 billion years?
At the very least my wierd take on age makes 20 somethings a lot closer to 70 somethings in the grand scheme of time, huh?

Old enough to know better; still too young to care...
At least I've stopped making the 'big' goofs... (like the dancer at the 1:40 mark)

No, no, we're all youngsters, we're just older than you are. I'm 49 and my partner is 46, our Airstream is 47 and my Dodge Dart is 43.

its all about when you peak
this 60's person has a whole different perspective. i am 67 years old and grizzled. yet i am still performing in the rock and roll game. but the real deal is that because of my radio and tv ventures i have an income of $12,000,000 a year. i bought a 93 land yacht legacy last october (my first venture into the rving world since the popup days of the eighties). i paid 21,000 for it and now have more than 75,000 invested in it. i like classic things that are totally perfect. my advice to you is dont peak too soon. take it real slow up until you die...then taper off. go galt and give the money away to those who really need it.

Love that quote as I am a 72 year old Bill and I am often called Billy.
I don't know if I feel younger because of being called Billy or that I am called Billy because I act young.
