Well let's see....

I don't feel old and I'm certainly not young, so I guess I'm somewhere in between. What would you
consider 35? A younger old man or a older young man. [%-)][8D]. Dave

Well, they say....with age, comes wisdom.

I'm still waiting for this wisdom to kick in, because I'm 45 and I still screw up *all* the time.

Me? Suffice it to say I am a old broken down former brakeman and poor excuse for a forklift driver and a sorry excuse for a model railroader.[:O]

If you're DCC, you can catch up. I still do things the old fashion way.

It ain't me. At 43 I'm somewhere near the middle, chronologicly speaking. How old I feel is a different story, and changes from day to day.

Well Chuck, my age is allmost 50, and that is a "delicate" age [:I] ,
I prefer to think I am getting more experienced than getting older
at least next year I am allowed to join the "ANBO " the dutch organisation of senior citizens [oX)]

maybe I should post a topic "Who is the most Middle-Aged " as I think I do not qualify for the oldest nor the youngest poll!

Well Chuck, that deserves a response.[;)]

I'm only about 12 months behind you and I don't think that matters at this point.

About 4 weeks ago I unexpectedly had to have a "stent" installed. [B)] But now my cholesterol has dropped to 143 and I feel fine. Great prognosis, I'm told. No other problems. [^]

And I know what you mean about that mirror thing![:0]

We've got a great hobby...maybe the world's greatest.[:p]

Sixty Five and a half.
Still able to suck in air, blow out a little steam and fart in between.

Not bad for an old fart and I can still climb that grade.

When I look in the mirror I have to ask myself, who is that guy?
Trains keep me young.
