The "I'm so old thread......"

[WileE]

I'm so old, I use the phrase "Back in the night"... because the first day didn't happen yet.

I look like my Dad did, I smell like my Dad did, guess I have become my Dad.

THIS! Oh man, as much as I didn't want to...I have.
Oddly enough, I've become OK with most of it now, too.
Better understanding of what he went through later in life for sure, since I'm now
literally walking in his footsteps medically (and my property was bought next door to his, too).

Ed you say that about dad makes me recall I was at an auction with my dad for my wife’s grandparents. My wife’s grandmother spotted me walking behind my dad and noticed we walked the same exact way. As a young stubborn man I thought no way. I went to dads house one day and seen a pair of his boots by the back door, one laying on its side, I noticed his were worn on the outside edge like mine.. 20 years fast forward I’m now the mechanic for the switching locomotives he ran for 36 years .. I love pop and it’s sure strange how genetics work! That’s also where my really hard head comes from.

Every time I see a photo of me and my 5 siblings it's crazy how much we all look like Dad. Well. except Mel. he's from Mexico where my parents went on a motorcycle tour once........lol...

I'm so old that my afternoon nap requires a early evening nap.

That reminds me, it is about nap time.

I'm so old that the only way I can remember what the heck i'm supposed to be doing is by looking at what ever tools i'm holding. Even that doesn't always work!

I am so old I called myself Old & Bold... my neighbors think I am crazy building another car.

I now carrying a plastic urinal tucked under my belt with a five foot leash... just in case!

that would save so much time, and let us get a full nights sleep.

Are you old enough to know what this lock is used for?

 

[Cojohnso1]

In my day? We didn't have this fancy smancy electric start? I'm so old? A muscle car is what you got if you make frequent stops!
