I'm pushing 67 and been in RC for a long time. Any other older folks here? I saw one post today from a fella saying his birthday in '75....I chuckled and remembered boot camp in '75.

I'm actually 15 while my back is 50 and my knees and ankles are cracking in their 40s and my brain is 5. 
Idk. Can be old in a different dimension. Lol

At 60 I don't consider myself to be old enough for a toy train set yet.
First come toy trucks.
Second is toy trains.
And third is diapers and the old folk home.
Last is our kids buying a new car with their inheritance instead of paying off their student loans.

I’m 64 but I don’t feel too old yet. Really enjoying being retired and having time to tinker with my RC’s and feeding my movie collection.
