Who are the old farts around here (and willing to admit it)

just turned 30, so ready for retirement.

 

Thanks.

 

So only 30-ish more years to go. Hang in there and keep plugging and enjoy because once you get there it seems shockingly fast in hindsight.

 

I start Zepbound tomorrow. Don't worry, it's not the same stuff Elon takes!

 

I beg to differ, mine are always on purpose and celebratory

 

I retired 10 years ago as a High School Teacher. I ran a computer lab at my last position in an inner city school that I actually graduated from. Mixed ethnic student body. I had "street cred" because I grew up in that neighborhood.

I bought one of those electronic Fart Machines with a remote. I used to hide it underneath the student desks in the computer lab and I would set it off now and then. You should have seen the looks on the kids faces trying to figure out who farted. I would almost shit myself holding back laughter!

 

Years ago we had a guy in our unit bring one in and hide it in our report room before report out. The person on the hot seat turned out to be this cute little gal that recently immigrated from Ukraine that looked like a ballerina. Of course that didn't stop James from his shenanigans and once the uproar subsided she just shook her head and said "Americans have too much money". It still makes me chuckle.

 

It's my birthday today so I'm more of an old fart today than I was yesterday. I need to start taking my birthday control pills again.

 

Happy Birthday!

 

The dad jokes are strong with you...

Happy Birthday, you dinosaur.

 

Happy Birthday!

 

65 two weeks from yesterday.2nd 4Runner, Taco TRD Sport, 2 FJ's prior 08 & 12.

 

68 yrs old. Retired Army 1995

 

I’m 60. This is my first 4R, I bought it March 30 2024 so dang near 1 year ago. I’ve owned a Tundra since 2003 and it has been the most reliable vehicle of my life, which is why I bought another Toyota. I chose 5th gen rather than waiting for 6th because I wanted a proven reliable vehicle to get me through my final years.

 

Little did I know, the wife wants a Christmas tree farm. We close on 4 April and start planting in the fall. I suppose I can grow my own plants!

 

I feel 35, does that count? Actual age is coming up on 65. But we're all rookies compared to this guy. I feel for him b/c he's trying to sell his 4R and travel trailer b/c "...I just completed hernia surgery and now, I am facing cataract surgery and an unclear path for Summer travel at age 84." Tooling around in a 'Runner and a Lance at 84.

 

Give him monopoly money. He can't see anyways.

 

Banging on the big seven oh…..and still upright!
I’ve owned my 2nd gen half my life, damn that’s old now that I think about it!

 

71 here with 72 creeping around the corner. A Tacoma Truck has been in my stable for over 20 years, May will make 1 year for my still new 4Runner. About to embark on 25 day 3,200 RV trip. Yellowstone will be the highlight.

 

@NeverTooLate71, that will be a spectacular trip. Don’t miss Grand Teton NP - it’s right there and we enjoyed it as much as Yellowstone.

 

I was fixin to say the same thing about Teton. If you’re able to, get to Jenny Lake early and take the boat across to the trail to Hidden Falls. Then if you feel like a hike, keep going up to Inspiration Point and then into the canyon. Yellowstone is more of a drive-through park where Teton you can do as much hiking and climbing as you want.

 

We took a horseback ride in nearby Moran, WY, that was amazing. The views plus just a fun ride with a water crossing - it was like offroading on a horse!

A couple of "horsecam" shots (me trying to ride and shoot). Note dog at far left of the first one.

 

Greetings all, just "stumbled" upon this thread and happy to find a place where old folks are much like me gaining moree birthdays, but "not maturing" 73 here and still enjoying doing my own maintenance and some mods as my body allows me to. Will be getting some replacement parts soon and hope to be doing a cross country road trip to see friend and family the end of this summer.

Agree the Tetons are glorious as is Yellowstone - ENJOY!

 

Yes, I find myself doing that more and more, and not just online.

 

Just to be clear...are the replacement parts for your body or the T4R? LOL

 

My wife and I are in the process of buying 10 acres to start a Christmas tree farm. Christmas trees take 7 years to mature and sell. Dawned on me that i will be 68 when that freaking happens.

 

The correct answer is Both of us! LOL When I can I do my best to get the 4R OEM parts, unfortunately I need aftermarket

 

Yup! I've been lucky thus far in finding my feet under me vs "head down" LOL

 

Pilot or Crew? Air Ambulance?

 

This sounds awesome! Have fun and post pictures!

Boxer?

Cheers! I hope your road trip is fantastic!
