I see it this way. It is how old you feel inside that counts. If you can wheel, come home be with the kids, wrench all day, and still have a good time partying hell who cares how old you are. I have met 50 year old guys on the trail that can whoop up on us youngsters. Shoot NOT calling Marlin old but at his birthday no one could keep up with that guy. He was under those rigs so fast and fixing stuff so fast the younger crowd stood there shocked.
