Weird when 44 is ‘young’ huh ?

70 this year. Why do I still feel as if I'm 25?
Will I ever grow up?
Happy Birthday!

67 as of Jan 12.😳
Think like 25 but it doesn’t help, still get around like 67.

61 here, as someone once said "if I knew I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself". no one gets out alive so might as well enjoy the ride. my dad still goes out in his 32' Donzi and drives a California Special Mustang at 89 so life does not end at 55 or 60, sometimes it begins.

60,
Don’t feel like it or whatever 60 is supposed to feel like.

Broke a bone for the first time in my life a couple weeks ago, maybe I should act at least like a 40 year old! Lol

oh well might as well have fun.

A friend of mine and I were talking the other day and can remember wishing we were older as kids. The "play window" of being old enough to afford it, young & healthy enough to enjoy it, and free time to do it, is VERY small. Take advantage and do everything you can when you can. We are all very blessed to be part of the boating community and all of the activity choices it provides.

We are already on the verge of “remember when boats had big blocks in them?”

Growing up, my friends were having kids around 30 and doing family things while I was stuck in ‘party mode’. I kept on partying for a long time before settling down. Now 60, have a much younger wife and one daughter who is 7.

I now know how my friends felt in their 30’s, it’s pretty good.

Happy Birthday to everyone who’s having a birthday this year!
