Who is the oldest "old F*rt" on HBT?

[Toecutter]

from Western Arkansas eh. I travel for business, and have some friends over in that area.

Where men are men, and the sheep are scared.

I'm 55

 

[geezerpk]

You got me beat by 2 months, you old fart!

Yah, you're just a relative youngster.
So far the only concession I make to age is I refuse to brew any recipe that takes longer than 4 weeks from grain to icebox. I'm not cookin' this stuff up for the survivors. (BTW — I don't buy green bananas either.)

I am unabashedly booting this thread. Please forgive the audacity, but you see, old folks are hard to understand..

Speak up a bit louder, Sud...I can't understand you.

If I'm still brewing in my 70's, I might finally break even on my equipment costs.

 

[Sheldon]

And here I thought that I being 62 was an old geezer. Dam, I am still a babe in the woods.

Cheers, and keep the yeast alive.

60 may not put me at the oldest, but can I go for the least amount of still functioning brain cells?

 

[LAHammer]

63 and brewing for just over a year. What the hell was I thinking (drinking?)

Wow,can't believe I missed this thread for a couple years! Guess that ringin' in my ears is neurons frying. I can't quite see straight through my try-focals & can barely walk with a cane. Getting in & outta the Probe is fun at best. Can't carry the near full BK to the man cave anymore. And I just turned 58 at the end of March. 4 hours & 22 minutes more,& I'd have been born an April fool.
And I still remember riding dinosaurs to school wearing bear skins with rattlesnake hide for a belt. And making flint knives with my enemy's bones for handles. And the chimney 'top my roof,is made outta human skulls. Used to get drunk on cactus squeezin's with guys like sudbuster. We never could get Yoop's interest during those evenings of drunken cactus squeezin fun & games among us troglodytes.

The volume is not why you cannot understand. We oldtimers speak a different language.

Ha! ha! ha!. Ehemm, sorry, but that was a good one.

You bet you are. As Frost said, You have miles to go before you sleep.

What the heck! You had me thinking you were my age from your posts and sig. You can still tote those 10gal batches around.

You are still a youngster by Obama standards.

Yeah, I see your tongue in your cheek, young'in. But there is a fault to your story if you were hangin' out with guys my age and trying to get Yoop interested. You see, the reason you couldn't, is because she wasn't born yet, and neither were you.

So, does 68 this October make me an oldtimer or a young whippersnapper?

[geezerpk]

I turned 74 last February and still do a couple of five gallon batches in buckets with cobbled together equipment per month. I never brewed batch one until I was over 70. My brews probably aren't contest ready, but our friends think they're pretty good, and the wife and I sure enjoy a couple with our popcorn and a movie, etc. most nights.

Finally back on track.
When the song "MacArthur Park" hit the airways it was predicted to be a failure because it was over a minute long. Teenagers didn't have the attention span to get from the beginning to the end.
These young whippersnappers on HBT prove attention span is still a problem. Can't remember your original post.
I'll get to 66 if I don't crash my bike this summer.

I don't know about that. I think I could easily give you a run for your money on that score.

What's funny to me is not everyone else's age, or even my own. It's the fact that I sleep with someone who is nearly 60 years old!!!!!

I remember on Bob's 50th birthday, I had a surprise party for him and we had a great time. Later that night, crawling into bed I started to laugh and couldn't stop. He said, "What's going on?" and I replied, "I just realized I'm going have sex for the first time with someone who is 50 years old!".

Bob paused for a moment and said, "It's kinda gross if you think about it".

So, since then I've decided to not think about it.

Ha. I hung around with guys your age at break time at Ford or at the bar after work. but then I liked hangin' around the adults as a kid rather than playin' with the kids. i liked their stories. And with some of us,it's not the age,it's the mileage. I need a frame on restoration...

Lol, My frame is not bad, considering. The running gear is what's shot, Oh, and having to go through a second "mid-life crisis".

62. I had to walk to school, uphill both ways.
