You know you are getting older when..............

Blue Flame six, three-on-the-tree, you had to learn the choke and two stabs at the clutch were mandatory.

Nowadays, those would be considered anti-theft devices.

I told my wife the same thing a few months ago. We were in a parking lot, an old pick up truck (late 1930's to early '40's era) was parked there with the windows down. She remarked about it possibly getting stolen. I replied that almost no one would know to start it, nor drive it.

You can remember common sense....

Was it ever very common?

Mine was a ‘39 GMC 1/2 Ton. My wife tells the story of when I used to take her out for a date. Hamburger and then shooting rats at the dump!!!

I like to go out to the beach in my Speedo's trolling for babes. Well, I did a few years ago!

When I went on the F.D. we had an old Buffalo engine with the crank, I was elected a few times to turn the crank. We used to start it up 2-3 times a month just to keep her running.
Thinking back I wish I had bought it.

Remember when intimacy was spontaneous and fun? Now it has to be scheduled to allow time for my “little blue helper” to kick in....... but I guess I should be glad that it’s still fun, huh?

Use the yellow one, it lasts longer.

How many have been looking for there glasses then realize they are wearing them or looking for your ear plugs at the range and they are in your ears? This one is a first for me ,i was rushing around looking for my cell before I realized I was talking on it

I have business(old equipment and antique furniture) in some of the roughest neighborhoods in Baltimore.... Sandtown Winchester,amongst others,every month or so.

It's nice being at the age that the hoodrats don't see me as a threat,yet respect me enough to not bother me. Tough to explain the predatory nature that exists in some of these places. And I love folks that get all wound up about not having any sort of bumper sticker or any outward signage advertising firearms.... cause someone may follow you home or some chit? To a proper inner city felon,they don't NEED any,it's like you've got a neon sign blinking over your head,NRA stickers be damned. But get to retirement age,and have real business on your menu and you're good to go? Back to regular programming.

You woke up at 12:30 because you had to pee.

Better than NOT waking to pee.

When you see a beautiful young woman and thinking to yourself you may have a shot, but then realize that you are old enough to be her grandfather.

Or her GREAT Grandfather.

As you age, the only thing that gets hard is your arteries.

 

[longtrapshootn]

You know you're old when you have to call your grand kids to help you with the Tv remote control all the time.

 

[T-shooter]

You know you are old when there is only one tiny part of your body that's not stiff.

My grandkids keep asking if I want a new computer. I tell them not til they make one that say’s “ ON, OFF, just do it. “

I used to laugh at,
Guys on the line, fire command is given, they have to go to the car and HOPE their “other” pair of glasses are in there.
The ones that get down and then make old man noises when trying to get up.

My dream is to live till in my 90’s and be shot by a 21 year old jealous husband.

My first car was a 1957 Volkswagon ......Many good memories in that car.

A Friday night, 8:30 PM, I am sipping a shot, iced coffee, and reading the forum. What happened to me?

alternate shots and --iced coffee? I am getting a conflicting read on this.
