macca22au Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Ditto, I surrendered my driver’s licence because of the woozies. I long ago surrendered my PPL because of heart, but now, every day, I am determined to land that darned Majestic Dash 8, without rattling every passengers’ teeth, or kangaroo hopping down the runway. Meanwhile I am a sucker for the Orbx sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Cox Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Where the woozies are concerned mine are slightly different. No problem standing up fast but if I roll over in bed I get what I call head spins. Same if I sit up from a prone position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macca22au Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 And I hope that Carenado build a good Saab340 so I can fly Loganair in Scotland and Rex in Australia. And as a passenger I have never experienced a greaser in the 340, always a ‘firm’ landing....my style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMBIII Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I just have to chime in. I don't think I'm old (I'm only 75) but every now and then the old body reminds me. Now it takes two days to do one 'job' where I used to do two jobs in one day. I still remember the day I realized I was getting old. I wandered into the bathroom after getting out of bed, glanced into the mirror and thought 'what the hell is my dad doing in here'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teecee Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 Brilliant! I love it, though in truth it could not happen to me, as I look more like my Grandad than my dad. Teecee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olderndirt Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 When we moved to Florida from Alaska in '98, my mother-in-law then 86 asked me to call and renew her drivers' license and gave me her PIN number. Smooth as silk, never talked to a live human - now this is a State that really caters to seniors. Of course the heat and humidity eventually drove us back to Washington.

johnost Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Hi Guys I turned 84 last December - do I qualify here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaje Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 Quite possibly. We'll have to convene the committee of the Old Coots to examine your credentials. Could you please supply a copy of your birth certificate, and a photograph of any false teeth, walking frame, suspenders (braces?), or similar evidence.

Rodger Pettichord Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 johnost--seems to me that if you have reached 84, you have earned your Old Coot certificate. Of course, all that certificate qualifies you for is to have strong opinions, a weak bladder, and a slipping grasp on reality. Oh, and there's a section about memory, too, but I forget what it is.

Gypsy Pilot Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 One thing that I never expected was having to pee every time I stand up. Well, at least it's forcing me to get some exercise. Dale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cthiggin2 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 So true Rodger - at 71, I have been prescribed FlowMax, which is my "new" friend. I told my doctor that if I knew I would have lived this long, then I would have taken better care of myself. Blessings to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FalconAF Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I was going to reply to this thread, but by the time I read both pages to get here, I forget what the original topic is. What day is this? Where's my coffee?? Why is there a half-eaten doughnut by my joystick??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triplane Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Some 30+ years ago now there was a famous (and true) story about a call from an 89 year old fellow to the HP computer support team. He was complaining that his almost new HP computer no longer worked. The support tech worked him through all the regular stuff, e.g., is it plugged in, is it turned on, etc. Finally, in desperation, the support tech asked the old coot exactly when did the computer shut down. The old guy replied.....about five hours ago when the electricity went off..........Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
