At the risk of p*$$ing off the topic police, I offer this.
I can certainly identify, and so can most of you! :lol:
there is no such thing. But keep poking at him and Bob is likely to respond.
Holy crap Steve.

I kinda like it… 
I knew I was getting old when I heard “Led Zeppelin” being played on the local “Oldies” radio station

That was on my 30th birthday, and I knew that I was certifiably over the hill.
Did you know that Paul McCartney was also in a band before the Beatles?

I’m entirely with you on this thought but some quarters think that, that only applies to keeping an organized milita. National Guard kind of qualifies under that as they wear two hats (fed and state) and the state military reserves that some states have seems to qualify but I’ve never seen any of these people in California go near weapons when I spent 10 years in the guard sometime after my navy service. They shared our armory at times when we weren’t on the tanks at Camp Roberts or Hunter Ligget and we had our once a year weekend at the local armory. These guys were a bunch of old dudes that had at one time seen military service and enjoyed creating their own rank and being no pay officers along with a bunch of kids that were unqulified to go in the service. Instead of US Army on their pocket patch they had California and used to get mad when we did not salute them. One guy was a bandmster in the German Army during WW2 and watching him strut around was really a blast. I left the Guard in 1986 so at that time they were old dudes to me. Now I’m an old dude that wishes he would have stayed in the Guard so that he could have gotten that pension too. I’m going off on a tangent here—Sorry
Wrong topic, I don’t qualify as a “boomer”, too old for that. 
… unless they moved the qualification date … again.
HJ, Some show on TV about Boomers said that since I’m born shortly after 1960, I should be lumped into Gen X, which makes no sense to me, everyone in my generation relates far more to Boomers than to grunge-clad slacker Gen Xers, let alone the whiney Gen Y’s who are most of our kids, shoot - we even relate better to our Hippie parents than to some of these knucklehead kids today…God, I sound old dont I ?
Good to see young Victor, of Smith Bros. fame on the forums. The other two Smith Bros. are usually hanging around somewhere here. Seldom do we have the honour of all three on the CHAT, as in old times back when Bobby even showed up and joined us for a whine or bheer.
Speaking of aging…I find that generally, I’m the oldest person within the groups I tend to associate with…yesterday was my latest “Hatch Day”, and that brings me a few months closer to my “Best before date”. Let’s see…1941 until 2009…egads, I may be past my best before date, and no-one has culled me yet. Old age can be the shits, at times, but I seem to be coping, so far.
I hope other age-challenged fellas on this web page are staying out of too much trouble, and are in relatively good health.
I guess we could ask Bobby for our own chat group, and forum section; but it is more fun helping the younger wipper-snappers to see the light, and respect the sometimes questionable wisdom of us old-timers.!!!
Victor Smith said:Vic, I'm with you. A little younger but all the same I don't relate to the Baby Boomers or the hippies but definetly NOT to the Gen X or Y folks either.
