Title: What Is Your Age?

Seems like a lot of experienced cookers on here.  Curious as to where I fall in the pecking order.

I was able to say under 40 by about 7 weeks or so. I will be a man on October 25 (YouTube "I'm a man, I'm 40" if you don't know what that means, but I would imagine you college football fans already know).

Curious...when does middle age end?  I know I left it long ago...I mean, to me, 90 is a pretty long life...
Title: Re: What Is Your Age?
Post by: Jcorwin818 on September 03, 2017, 03:48:42 PM
Average male life is  about 78 now so let's round off to 80 which means middle age starts at say 40. 
Title: Re: What Is Your Age?

Starts or ends?

Well, that's certainly the middle of the average age.  But Middle Aged is a period of years.  Maybe Middle Aged is 35 to 45 then.  But that doesn't seem right.

I think it's generally thought of as 45 to 65.
Title: Re: What Is Your Age?
Post by: Bentley on September 03, 2017, 06:42:28 PM
Always interested in others take on it...and it certainly is different then mine.  I guess I at times take it to literally also.  I figured I left middle age at about 46...

I turned 54 last month but I'm still a doofus 14 or 15 in my head.  I just have a little more money and a drivers license now.  Age is just a number.  Doesn't mean you're old.

I have two thoughts on this, no, three! I'm 68, (I've got a calculator and I double checked)  First I had to read all the posts to make sure I had not forgot that I had posted already. Second, It's not getting old that's bad, it's all the replacement parts. And Three, Life is like a roll of toilet paper, the closer it gets to the end, the faster it goes.

Keep on Smoking'

65 1/2 but the number is meaningless as long as you have a good doctor, pharmaceuticals, procedures, and the insurance and money for the co-pays.  Many of us are on life support and 50 years ago would have already been on the "no longer active" list.  No complaints even though Tuesday I go in for a "cardiac ablation" to deal with afib.  Luckily I have never smoked anything that wasn't on a grill, now pellet of course and I am still able to work at a fairly physically demanding job even with the erratic behavior of my heart. I probably will never be thankful enough for the life I have, but being I am certainly appreciative of the great community on this site and those yet to come to be Pellet Fans.

It looks like it isn't until you turn 40 that you become smart enough to realize that a pellet cooker is the right equipment for you because it is easier to use than most other grills/smokers. ;D
