I'm a bit bothered about this, Old guy, at 54 I don't feel like and
'old guy', do I become an 'old guy' on my next birthday?


The saying goes, that the impression of old is anyone 15 years older than
yourself.

Think about it. It holds true, pretty well. The poster has just told
everyone else about his "inexperience", hasn't he? g

Then there is BOb, who even admits that he is old! g

You know you're old when......
AARP solicits you for membership.

That would be age 55.

Hmmm, AARP solicited me when I turned 50 - guess I'm in the dinosaur
category, or maybe fossil.

OOPS.
Sorry, Michael...
I stand corrected.
Age 50 it is.

It's all I can do to remember my "N" number
inscribed on the instrument panel in BIG letters.

Who needs Viagra....
When you have aviation.

You may have to trade up (?) to an RV-6 so you can take someone along
to remind you soon...

You bet.
Trading up is the answer!
Especially, since my hangar rent just DOUBLED.

This would cut my costs...
PER SEAT MILE
to what I'm already paying.

Following this logic --
If I acquire an RV-10....
I can cut my costs in half again.
Nothing like pricing costs based on a per seat mile basis.
When flying gets far too expensive for the family budget,
just add a few seats to make it, once again, affordable.

BOb

How much longer before you just build your own hanger? Or get your own
grass strip and to he** with bean counters.

Maybe they want you out. Potbellied ol' curmudgeon.

Move to Pahrump or Beebers, ND. Hangar rent is cheap there and curmudgeons
are plentiful.

Deming, NM?

Whine, whine, whine.

Bah! AARP solicited me the year I turned TWENTY.

That happened to be the year my father (we share the same first name,
although with different middle names) turned 55, _and_ he moved to
a different town, *AND* I had my own place.
