You know you're getting old when....
« on: July 15, 2003, 08:03:59 pm »
When you buy a set of new tires for your main-line car and they are the "CLASSIC" model.


That happend to me today.  Replaced a couple of  235R7015 white wall tires on our Buick Roadmaster.  Took a look at them as I was filling the Buick with gas and was a little shocked  :o to see they had the word "CLASSIC" molded into the side wall.

You know, Bibbyman, that I thought about your thread titel and recalled last week seein one of my students I had not seen in 32 years.  It was just the opposite for me in that situation.  Besides being gorgeous when she was young she got even better in those 32 years.

 Anyway, when she saw me, she said,   "Golly you look as good as you did 32 years ago."  I don't blush easily, but my tin hat sure got warm, as I received a big long hug.  Followed by, "Your skin sure looks good too." :) ::)

What did Mrs. Pender think about all this?
You told her just like ya told us, right Frank?

:D  :D  :D

When our custom wheat cutters showed up this year, the owners 17 year old daughter had lost the braces and filled out, if you know what I mean... ;)
They didn't come last year due to drought so it had been two years since we had seen them.
I asked my son what he thought and his reply was.......
"Boy, she sure did out grow the ugly".

  about three weeks before the end of school i was in the middle of a conversation with one of the freshman boys in my class and I swear I had to look up a foot during the conversation to keep eye contact.  His mother is a guidance counselor at the school and when I recounted the story to her she said he had grown about a foot during the last month.  So fast in fact that he was outgrowing his knees and ankles and the doctor was worried about it.

You know your getting old when you get up in the morning and it's easier to count the places that don't hurt rather than the ones that do.  :D
    I figure I'm still in pretty good shape if I can still have sex twice; I still like the one in the summer best though. 8)

The big clue for me that I was maybe looking older than I think is that the younger folks ( mid-thirties and younger) have taken to addressing me as 'sir'.  Now I have not been knighted and always thaught the sir was reserved for my father's generation!   ;D :D :o ::)

When I was eating lunch yesterday at McDonalds a little girl about 5 years old keep peaking at me from over her seat. Then she stood up and said "ho-ho-ho". I said to her "I surprised you recognized me without my red suit." Needless to say her eyes got really big :D

….  when ol' timers include me in with their generation, like - "You can remember how hard it was to buy a new car after the War?" (WWII they're talking about)

Mary's hair started to turn silver very early in her adult life and completed the transition a good number of years ago.  She is often "amused" when women of a generation or two more mature than she lump her into their age group.  Bet they think she pretty spry to be running a sawmill!

I'm just having a hard time picturing a fine automobile like a Buick Roadmaster parked in the yard at Warden's next to the Terex loader  ;D....there have been many a thread on trucks, but never cars....

Well,  like most threads around here,  this one started out "You know your getting old when....." and not about cars.


Here's the Roadmaster as seen outside the building where Wood-Mizer put on their great 20'th anniversary party.

Captain,

I was down at Bibbyman and Mary's place last summer.

Bib and I were chatting by the sawmill when Mary cruzed by in the RoadMaster :o

Nice gal in a nice ride ;D

Mary wipped into the garage and walked over ready to work.

But as far as a lunch run................bet not.

Now jumping in the Terex for a lunch run, I could see that happening ;)

You know you're getting old when - you've driven Route 66 long before it was Historic Route 66.

You know you're getting old when - you remember back to the first couple of BRAND NEW cars you bought and they were equipped with a "three on the tree" manual transmission.  (It'd be fun to see if I could still drive one.) :D
