The voluntary senile decay set in at 50, I now have 13 years experience of honing that capacity to its maximum use. :)
Happy birthday! I have a brother one-year older than you, and he tells me that his "bad memory" allows him to get away with things that he never could have, by any means, when he was younger.
Happy birthday, Hutch :U
(if you post a recent photo, we'll tell you if you look younger than 63 :green2 )
Happy BDay, Steve
Hi Hutch,

Ah, I know what country Victoria is like in the winter, my first does of hypothermia was trying to sleep in a car in the middle of the night about 100 miles up from Melbourne. I knew that James Fuller was a few months older than me but now I know that anunitu is also a man of experience as well.
There is another funny advantage of age, I have always got on well with "good lookers" and it works even better as you get older as they know you are really interested in their maiden aunt.

Happy birthday Hutch,
I sent this message yesterday and forgot to hit the enter button. All you young puppies
don't have problems like that. :bg
Happy Birthday Hutch, another day older already.... OMG no 2 days older being in Aus and all :lol
Best wishes,...May the 'coolness' be upon you,... :eek
...So, when does a person officially become a geezer ???
I know,...it'a all mental,...[as I hitch my pants up around my armpits,...]
Baltoro, I am OLD(64) and even I don't pull my pants that high. At 64,my waist is only 34, in my younger days until about 55 it was about 30..that comes from doing mostly physical jobs most of my life. my I.Q. is around 180(tested in the Service),but I have always injoyed physical labor over intellectual(I keep my mental side mostly to personal hobby's) Why I never persued Assembler on a professional level.
Your IQ is around 180 ???
I think I have an IQ deficit,...My age and IQ are the same,... :eek
Originaly when you enter bootcamp in the Navy,you go through what is called the Battery,a full 2 days of testing,to find where your strengths lie. I scored in the 99th percentile on most of the tests, and was recruited to strike for Crypto Tech. (strike means what you are going to train for), I declined for a much better field for me. I got into Supply..specifically Ships Service..That is a division where you run the ships store,the laundry,the barber shop..all aspects of what the crew really need. It is referred by most if not all personal as the ships Mafia(Mainly because you control the pleasure aspect) I fit in perfectly...probubly I could have taken Dave's path into Engineering, but that little time in ships service showed me where the real power was. :bdg
i knew i was going into Engineering when i was a little kid
started playing with electronics when i was about 6 - and designed a few circuits by age 8
by age 10, i pretty much knew what i wanted to do :P
the military really has very little in the way of true Electronics vocations - most of that is done by contractors
i went into the infantry for a whole different set of reasons - lol
it was never intended to be my career
although, if i had to do it again, i would probably try to be an officer rather than an enlisted man
the army did pay for some of my college after i got out
and, i used a VA loan to buy my first house :bg
anunitu,
Seems you only lead me by a year but interestingly enough we have very similar approaches to keeping fit, never stop working (physical work) and in my own case never overeat. I manage a waistline of 36 inches and that came from going to the gym for a year about 10 years ago to fix a problem. I used to have a 32 inch waist but after a year on a leg press machine daily I developed a muscle bulge either side of my guts that thickened me up a bit. Apart from the work i am doing on the house I ride a pushbike regularly and have done so for over 50 years and that hellps to keep you reasonably fit.
I have never trusted Stanford/Binet testing (IQ Tests) but my head is heavy enough to knock in nails so it will do the job. :bg
I think the reason I am in pretty good health for my age goes back to the physical stuff. It seems I am in better health than about 90 percent of people my age. I do suffer from Rumatoid arthritis, and that gets to me sometimes, because I like working with my hands. Some times it gets bad enough so my hands lock up. I love computers and programming because it keeps my mind sharp.
Favorite games are RPG's. You have to solve a lot of puzzles and navagate. Average playing time to complete my favorite RPG(final Fantasy,playing FF10 right now) runs about 2-3 months playing 5 hours a day.
As to the I.Q thing, they tend to be culture based, I much prefer a test that can measure your ability to visulize and something like pure math,where it measures your ability to extrapolate using Mathamatical theory.

The term "muscle bulge" never occurred to me, I could have used that. Here we call them "love handles" :bg
...or sometimes a "dicky-do"
because it sticks out farther than my dicky do :lol

That would be easy to fix, you just run the extra tub off, as usual when I PHUK something up, I do it well. When you use a leg press machine you sit in a cradle and press heavy weights upwards with your legs. I got the muscle back into my legs but picked up the extra bulge either side of my guts as well, strangely enough its harder to remove muscle than a fat guts.

A strong underbody will also give strength to your upper body. When you pick up heavy stuff you use alot of back muscles, leg muscles, lats and also forearms. Way too many people neglect underbody training, for the most part I see people doing benchpress and nothing but bench press.
