Age bracket - where are you

[panfan]

What is the age demographic on this board? Curious.....

[regaleagle]

Are we talking mental or physical???

[toddg]

47..is a magic number..

[BwdLions]

I played for Gordon Wood from 1980 - 1982. I'm 49 and was a junior on the 1981 State Team.

[panfan]

Not wanting to out anyone, I created the poll - please vote!
Thanks

Oh and I don't care who knows - I'm 49 and counting!!!

[Sweetwater Red]

43 which I'm told is the new 33 so I'm going with that.

[Rocket Man]

I'm a 1962 Atlas-Agena model (for those slow in math, and you know who you are, that makes me 52)

I had to look up the Rocket models from this era and came across this interesting article (from the BBC), I did not know we sent a rocket that actually landed on the moon in 1962:

1962: First US rocket lands on Moon
The American Moon rocket Ranger IV has landed on the far side of the moon but has failed to send back pictures due to a technical fault.
It is the first time an American spacecraft has successfully reached the Moon - the Russians achieved the first ever lunar impact in 1959.

However, the main aim of the mission - to take television pictures of the lunar surface - was not achieved after all internal power on board the spacecraft failed two hours after launch.

The Ranger IV Atlas-Agena rocket, which took off from Cape Canaveral on 23 April, is one of the most sophisticated space machines ever developed.

Crash-land

It was specifically designed to crash-land on the Moon after capturing a series of images of the lunar surface on its approach.

The television pictures on board were designed to begin operating when the rocket came within 2,500 miles (4,023km) of the lunar surface - 40 minutes before impact - and then send an image of the Moon back to Earth every 13 seconds.

After the loss of internal power the spacecraft could only be tracked using the tiny radio transmitter in the lunar capsule. This is how scientists confirmed it had actually reached the Moon.

The latest mission was identical to that of Ranger III, which launched on 26 January this year.

But the expected pictures from that mission were not produced because the rocket missed the Moon by 22,862 miles (36,793km).

Nasa scientists will be hugely disappointed by this latest failure as a successful mission would have given them the first ever close-up images of the mysterious lunar surface.

Ranger IV was also equipped with a seismometer and radio transmitter, designed to be released in a small capsule from the rocket before impact and land on the Moon in sufficiently good condition to measure the frequency of natural earthquakes in the body of the Moon.

Images from this would have been sent back to Earth for up to 30 days for vital research.

I'm coming up on my 34th.

[Ville-D]

Thought I was 42, but I double checked that math with my handy calculator and then triple checked it with an excel spreadsheet and... it turns out that I'm only 41. Was a math major back in the day but technology has really taken the edge off of doing stuff in my head. Also I cannot spell without spell check. I should just retire.:speech:

Maybe it should have been >30<40 prime time, and >40<55 things starting to hurt that never used to!

The slide becomes steeper when you cross the 60...you have officially become an Old Fart

The results are in:
The 30-55 is the predominant age group posting on the board. I read on one post where a dad and son were talking, and dad described his son looking over the shoulder at him posting on this board. Son was disinterested and commented it was just a bunch of old guys that can't play any more!!!

I did notice that none of the Burnet folks posted - Got something to hide over there?

Yes that would be more accurate, Every thing I wrenched,sprained or broke the first 30 has came back to haunt me like the Ghosts of Chistmas past since I hit 40 8 years ago.

[movethechain]

How did I know when I was old? When I was climbing through a bob-wur fence, lost my balance, fell out on the ground on the other side and just laid there rather than rolling/bouncing back up like a young feller. Yep, I just laid there and enjoyed the view, rested a bit and then contemplated the best course of action to get my self back up on my feet again. So, when I think about it, gettin old ain't too bad after all. I'm seeing stuff I never seen before (layin on the ground). I'm gettin more rest (layin on the ground). And I'm having serious conversations with myself (how do I get up off the ground).

A friend of mine says the older you get, the more hard headed you get.
That's why the hair grows out your nose, ears, etc. instead of your head.

You one them there silverback gorillas?

[panfan]

I realized I was old, out of shape, etc. when....

My annual trip to Idaho for two weeks which involved many excursions up and down creek banks, several hikes ranging from 1/2 mile to about 8 miles, working at about 8000 feet, and post work beer consumption all diminished significantly. I had to remove my self from the longest of the hikes so the team would not have to extricate me from the back woods via helicopter. My old back and knees just wouldn't hold up. Damn 65 year old man from wyoming was leading the charge of the team who are mostly 20 somethings. Hopefully I get the back and knee fixed and back at it next year. I guess age is all relative to when your body starts going south on you. :dispntd::dispntd::dispntd::dispntd: Wait maybe this wasn't age, just being out of shape. I'm gonna blame it on age.

[MustangFootball]

my mom tells people I'm 493 months but I'm going with 41 as of last month.....and some how my belts keep shrinking. :confused:
