I will turn 76 on my next birthday.

Keep me posted on what I have to look forward to.

Hopefully I can still kick start my old right shift Triumph motorcycles next year!

Happy birthday. I'm 61, and we have 5 collector cars. My A-Model is a done car, and it is my favorite of the bunch.

You're a young'un. George Jedenoff went skiing on his 100th birthday, something I hope to do.

Happy B -Day to you youngster !
I found out hard way …. To look out for number …77 !!
Wish someone had warned me. But that number is in the past now.

Maybe those kids can help with Model A ?

Wayne, my father-in-law was 90 when he passed, but thru his 80's he was very active. Someone once told him he needed to slow down & act his age and he said "I've never been this old before, I don't know how to act!"
