History "Mature" H.A.M.B. Folks

69, don't look a day over 77, don't act a day over 12.

 

63 and 3 months retired - WOO HOO!!

Gonna TRY to wait to apply for SS til 67, possibly 70!

 

66 last year I was conceited ,but this year I have been perfect lol

 

79 and going strong

 

77 now and going out of the garage business in 12 days after 22 years ! I retired from working at a GM dealer in 96 , then started my own shop . Now I can work on my 37 Ford .

 

65 7/12 now, seems like I didn't realize how old I was until a cancer diagnosis 2 months ago. They tell me that I'm probably good now after surgery, but I'll be a cancer patient the rest of my life.
No matter how old I am, I've never thought the clock was ticking as fast as it is until now.
Told my doc that I had no time for dying, too many projects to finish. Went back to work in 3 weeks, cause I'm self employed and get no sick days or vacation days.
I only learn the important things in life when they kick my ass.

 

Yeah, that cancer thing snaps you into reality real quick.

 

71 , alittle tatteres !!

 

Happy Birthday!!!!.....

 

Hey Dan Pasadena,
Figure out the difference before you decide,
In my case waiting 'till 70, it would take
9 years to catch up! I didn't think it was worth the gamble!
I started at 65! Haven't regretted it yet!

 

I went at 62 have no regrets

I started the day I was eligible. A guy I worked with decided to wait until 70. He never drew a dime and never will.

 

75 and still hike in the mountains when not fishing or working on something.
My favorite hiking is off trail.

Not as old as many of you and definitely not as skilled as most.

Ok, read most of the 54 pages. Conclusion: there’s more life here on the “Mature” thread than I’ve seen anywhere....actually young at ️ heart abounds here. We are fortunate to be able to pursue our hobby. So kept on truckin, as in I wish all my fellow H.A.M.B.ers all the best, live out your dreams, keep the Faith, and make everyday the best it can be....that’s from my ️ Mercman@bulldog
