tse_sung_wu7 Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 The original Star Trek series first aired 5 days before I was born. I used to watch it, wonder what it would be like in the year 2000, and noted that I would be the same age as Capt. Kirk was in the series. Y2K is when all the aches and pains started manifesting themselves, and that I actually had to train before jumping on my bike for a 100 mile weekend, etc. <p> It's gotten better now, and I now realize the serenity and wisdom that come with age (which, y'know, I don't waste around here! ;-) and look forward to more of it.

george_b1 Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 I'm 78+++, and started with a IIIc in 1945. Old age just ain't for sissies! < grin >. Using an M-4 (with M2 viewfinder masks) and an early M6 - - - when I can pry it out of my 75 year old spouse's greedy fingers. Biggest problem for both of us was developing cataracts (now gone!) that really cut down on our ability to focus and compose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
