Yup, just found it when your post came up btulloh. I don't create many new topics and was not too familiar with those buttons. SO we would have to make a new topic to create the poll and that would be 2 topics on the same subject, which is not 'desirable'.
The link I provided above does give pretty much the same information from 2008. Maybe it would be interesting to see if the result has changed? I'm asking.

Well people would lie anyway. But what do I know?  I'm only 39.

For the how manyieth time?
I once gave an aunt on her 80^th, a birthday card that I wrote "congratulations on being 39 for the 42^nd time".
She thought it was funny.  Made her day.

Turns out I wasn't wrong. AT least there used to be a way to do polls. But I found the one in discussion here form a few years back:
https://forestryforum.com/board/index.php?topic=29260.0

It's a poll designed to find the most common age group. I won't give you a spoiler alert. Go look. ;D

Like I figured. Very few under 40.   Average age of a Pa logger now is in the mid 50ies.

I like that. Some days I forget to do it. I gotta work on that attitude.
 Edit to add: Some days when I get up, the old man is already up and staring at me. Not much I can do then. But I'm not 80 yet, so I got time.

I'm not 80 yet, but the check light is starting to blink every once and a while.

When I was in my 50's I said "I think I can cut wood and saw lumber till I'm 60".
When I was in my 60's I said "I think I can do this till I'm 70".
Now in my 70's I'm saying "I think I can do this till I'm 80".
When I'm 80 what will I be saying?

That's easy!
When I'm 80, I think I can do this until I am 90.

Judging by the way you have been getting along my guess would be:
"Well, that was easy! What's next?"

  I remember reading an interview with a 100 y/o man where the interviewer asked the man's secret to reaching 100. The old man said "Live to be 99 then be really, really careful."

   We had an old neighbor here we lost last year at 1 month short of 102 y/o. He was active up until 99-1/2 when he had blood clots that sent him to a nursing home till he died. Up till that time he was still driving and working. At 98-99 he was baling hay and got too hot and got to feeling bad so he called a number on a card he'd gotten from the VA. He said "That woman sure did talk a lot. She talked until the ambulance got here." The ambulance crew checked him out and said he had just gotten too hot and to stay inside and keep cool for a few days. Of course the next day he was out baling hay again.

   His grand daughter, our mail carrier, got hold of the card the VA had given him to call. It was the suicide prevention number. (No wonder the woman did not hang up on him. :D)

I keep forgetting my age, and end up hurting the next day. 8)

Yea boy! and the next day, and the next and so on... I just spent several months rehabbing my "good shoulder" from a few hours fighting some2x6  lumber. Last fall to now to have some relief.
 Every day's a blessing! 
Some perspective here on age: My HS class of 61 was 708 Kansas kids. As we speak we've lost a little over 20% of our group. We were all WWII war/babies, the largest bunch in history of the USA and we came from all economic levels into one school, black, white and Mexican-American & very few Asians.
You 80's guys keep it going on!!! 8)
