I am 39 and starting to catch up with my age. Hope is mostly down hill after 40.

About to turn 32. After 15 years of working on this stuff I wake up every morning feeling like I'm about 60, but after a few pills and a trip to the chiropractor, I feel like I'm going on 45.

Dam! The only group showing fewer numbers than mine is the 1-10 year olds? Does that mean I'm officially in my second childhood? Or that I never left it in the first place?

36. Old man told when I was about 12 to get in the seat and learn how to run it. The "it" was a IH TD14 crawler with I believe a Laplant hydraulic blade. The steering clutch levers were almost longer than I was tall. After that is was a Case 880B excavator. Same story. Tough as these old wrecks were, I don't think I'd be the operator I am without learning on them.
