How old are you?

[MrWhoopee]

I have no idea how it happened, but I turned 70 last September.

62 in March. Retired 16 months ago. I have most of my body, and select slices of my mind still useful.
I just can't see how it could be any better.

I won't mention my waist line.

Just to brag a little, in 1973 I had a set of dress blues made up of "melton", a common at the time replacement for the wool of an issue uniform. The trousers size was 34-34, I don't remember the jumper size. Last year, almost 50 years later, I bought several pairs of jeans, mostly for work clothes. Size 34-34. No further comment. . .

A few years ago, a questionnaire was sent from our local community college to my instructor on a course that I was taking. The teacher did not teach at this school nor got paid by them. They wanted the ages, sex, race, nationality, etc. Nothing to do with the course. My answers were age; old enough to vote. Sex; since this has nothing to do with locker rooms, it's irreverent for this course. Race and nationality; American. Well, you guys get the idea. Must admit it was fun to fill out. Especially after the instructor read my answers bent over laughing.

Maybe the better question would be is your lathe older than you are. I joined the ranks of the independently poor (retired) many moons ago for health reasons and miraculously my health immediately improved. Don't miss working at all. I think that I am older than my old craftsman lathe. Not sure on that. Could be a push one way or the other.

I was two years old when my South Bend lathe was shipped in 1950. I was not the original owner.
