nice poll, so far. I figured a few more old timers, but I guess, it is tough to teach some old dogs, new tricks (like the internet).

Me too! I'm 59. Dang clock really speeds up though at a certain point. Something to do with Einstein's relativity principles. Live life in the fast lane, and time warps.

37. Though when somebody asks me how old I am, the brain says 18

, then I do the math...

Old enough to know better....

Young enough to still not care.

I turn 45 this year. Jimmy Carter had not even legalized making beer and wine when I started. I still have my first, then banned, copy of "How to Make Wine" that I had to order from UK. I guess I was 16 or so in 1978. I been distilling for over a quarter century now. Damn I feel old all of a sudden.

Nice looking distribution curve happening. I thought it would skew to the left, a bit like my politics.

I'm 31, I'm a bit surprised by the results. I would have thought there would be a few more older guys.

Bujapat · Post by **Bujapat** » Thu Apr 26, 2007 4:02 am

Too old to rock'n roll but too young to die... (do you recognize?)

44 and 6 months exactly... But I think not too old to R&R!

The 34th president was reelected year I was born.

TRANSPLANTED HILLBILLY · Thu Apr 26, 2007 3:39 pm

The 35th president was shot the year I was born.

Post by **Uncle Jesse** » Thu Apr 26, 2007 4:46 pm

George Washington died on my birthday.

Not the same year, however.

TRANSPLANTED HILLBILLY · Thu Apr 26, 2007 5:04 pm

so, not only do we all share a common passion, but some of us have dead presidents to connect us.

Mom said something bout 1 of the Jackson Presidents being related. Don't remember which.
