Average Age of Forum Users

[thinkxingu]

The recent deaths of a few forum members and the accompanying pictures got me wondering about the average age of the forum's users. Anyone know? At 39, I'm thinking I'm on the low end?

I like someone's closing thought on this forum....I think it goes " You have to grow up, but you can be immature forever." I completely agree!

[ghfromaltonbay]

Just turned 63 in Sept. Although we recently lost 3 Forum Members, 2 of them left us much too soon. Redwing was 69 & Sunset Bob had just had his 62nd Birthday on 9/20. Too young! Dave35 was 87 & enjoyed many years on Locke Island.

[upthesaukee]

Old enough to know better, and young enough to not give a darn. :D

[camp guy]

73, but like some of the rest of us, there are days when my joints tell me I'm older, and there are days when my brain can't remember what are we talking about.

[Major]

Just turned 50 earlier this year.

[codeman671]

44 years young, but feelin' old...

[bclaker]

85 here. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

[LIforrelaxin]

Well being the Math Geek I am I found the average... in this thread to be 54.5 years old....

Thanks to guys like Pineneedles, Kamper, and Maxum of course I had to do a little bit of arithmetic just to get their ages... but hey that made it fun....

At the end of the day however every time I meet someone from the forum, I realize we are all the same.... we don't want to grow up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dave M]

I'm 69. Luckily I have good genes from my mother(she's 90). Luckily I don't have any health issues. Yes its taking me longer to do things and do feel aches now and then. Like the saying goes "The brain is willing but the body not so much".

Happy Thanksgiving

Interesting to look at those old threads and notice many who used to post frequently and now.....not so much.

BTW: 63 here (yikes!) and retiring on Monday after 41 years in education!! Yippee!! More time to spend at the lake :)

[Sunbeam lodge]

85 here. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

June 25 1931 that makes 84 going on 85. After looking thru the forum it looks like we are the oldest so far. We lived thru all the same years and you are probably a combat vet from Korea. Drafted in 52. Our life experiences would probably be similar. Good luck .

[Mr Cooke's Crew]

I am 65 .....:)

[phoenix]

FLL a year older and a year wiser I assume

I had my best years on the lake.
Wouldn't trade them for anything.

63 seems to be a popular number.....count me in on that one.

Great analogy Dave! :) Happy Thanksgiving to you...
And now for The Rest of the Story, behind the picture.
When Dad was drafted into the Army, by that time he and Mom already had 7 children, they married young, by the way. So, the Army not wanting to put Dad in harms way, offered him a deployment to work on the Pan American highway project. He could have been differed, but wanted to serve, so we lived in Caracas Venezuela for two years.
So again, this picture of me was taken in 1946, back before Antiques. I must have been given a straw broom and delegated to clean up duty, probably for being a bratt, notice the Two Ts…
:)

Now, back to the regularly scheduled thread.
I will Go Away now

[Fjr05]

72 and feeling it....lol

[DickR]

Almost 72, enough to bring up the average, but younger than some the old fossils lurking around here. But the kids here (y'know, like still in their 60s) likely wonder how I dare call some others "old fossils."

[Kamper]

Can I change my answer?

"As old as my tongue and a little older than my teeth."

[riverat]

62 years, and all within 20 miles of the lake

I'm 57. Young enough to start building ramps and handrails so I can continue to use my Island property.

[Loony Singer]

I am presently 8 years away from 60. Of course, next year I will be 9 years away from 60. :)

69 in January OMG I don't believe it. I still refuse to grow up:laugh:

I'm 2 1/2 years from a free fishing license:)

[onceMeg]

67 here. and Lovin' this thread! And not Quite ready, yet, for these Weavers' lyrics:

I get up each morning and dust off my wits,
Open the paper, and read the Obits.
If I’m not there, I know I’m not dead,
So I eat a good breakfast and go back to bed!

[Cal-to-NH]

Yeah, I guess I'm typical - 56

I'm afraid this means we are all growing old together!

[mikea]

62 years old last summer ... then took up playing walking soccer (rekindling my Brit youth) and now will be 63 years young this year !...

[upthesaukee]

I'm 2 1/2 years from a free fishing license:)

Unfortunately, free is not free anymore. They quietly did away from it this year. License will cost the 68+ crowd either 5 or 10 bucks per year. See the fish and game website. Has something to do with license purchases down, costs going up. Glad i got mine two years ago. Sorry for the bad news.

I live here... I am always Upthesaukee.

[Senter Cove Guy]

If you were born on or before December 31, 1947, your NH Resident Permanent Over-68 Hunting and Fishing license is grandfathered in. This is a free license that can only be obtained at Fish and Game headquarters or Regional Offices 1 (Lancaster), 2 (New Hampton) and 4 (Keene).

Get application form here: http://www.wildlife.state.nh.us/licensing/documents/over-68-app.pdf

Non-resident seniors pay regular non-resident license prices.

I was on my tablet last night when I posted what I did. I feel bad that those who are turning 68 this year and following years won't be able to get the free license. This change in licensing seemed to come in under the radar. I know I have seen more about hunting and trapping bobcats over the past year, and nothing about the increase in fees for hunting and fishing licenses, as well as doing away with the free licenses for those turning 68 this year (2016). Granted, the cost of a "senior" license is very low compared to a regular resident license, but there is not many things that are cheaper than free. :(

[SteveA]

Ready for Medicare this May........ LOL

[kauriel]

33 but with injuries in the past few months I've been feeling closer to the average age of this group!

[CaptT820]

My wife and I are 38 and 36 respectively. Can't thank the forum members enough for supplying much needed advice before recently just getting land on Sleepers. Life long dream and hope to retire there in about thirty years ( hopefully sooner!)

[dave603]

Guess both me and the wife are in the in crowd at 61 and 60.

[Cobalt 25]

68 but binary challenged.

How do you get 44 from 00101100?

IS that the binary system?

[HellRaZoR004]

68 but binary challenged.

Peter

Yes, converting binary to decimal. This...

00101100 (0+0+32+0+8+4+0+0), corresponding to the location of each 1/0.

[Cobalt 25]

Please explain how you get 32 for the first 1?

[HellRaZoR004]

Yes, converting binary to decimal. This...

00101100 (0+0+32+0+8+4+0+0), corresponding to the location of each 1/0.

In the following order you count the decimal equivalent of a binary number.

[128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1], if there is a '1' present in the corresponding location that number is added. If a '0' is present in the corresponding location that number is not added.

Therefore [128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1] = [0+0+32+0+8+4+0+0] = [44]

[bigdog]

I'm 9.5 yrs in dog years ! :laugh:

[Cobalt 25]

Thanks, Hellra. An excellent explanation. Even I could understand!

[HellRaZoR004]

You're welcome Cobalt, glad it was helpful.
