Sadly, as of 7:06 EST, I turned 40. My Aunt did give me this image on facebook:
I like that snoopy is smoking a pipe. With the transit so noticeably out of level it makes me wonder what is in that pipe.
If you think 40 is old you have much to learn, grasshopper...
I've got boots in the closet older than that....
BTW - Charles Schulz, Snoopy's creator, worked on a survey crew in his college years. The "surveyor" is a common theme in his cartoons. Sometimes his attention to detail is impeccable. I've seen Snoopy with a field book and plumb bob. I'm sure the "out of level" instrument was an intentional thing.

I took up smoking a pipe for my 50th birthday, it gives me a prop to point at the neighborhood kids when I tell them to get off my lawn.
I'll trade ya 😛
The only catches: you will be older, I won't tell you by how much......
From experience (getting ready to turn 41)....you are officially now starting to get old and must now review your lifestyle if you want to maintain a youthful pace.
Making me feel old, you young whippersnapper! I have a daughter 18 months older than you. Could have had kids a few years earlier but I wasn't the dumbest hick in the hay pile.

I have been preparing. I have lost 30 pounds since the first of the year with just diet change. I now am looking at exercise. I enjoy walking in the field; I despise formal exercise, especially ab work.

When I was a kid, I spent the summer building a hiking trail for my parents (got paid $110).
They are in their late 60's and hike it every morning. It climbs 600' or so in elevation and the round trip is just under 2 miles.
They know that staying active is going to be the key to extending their abilities when they get older.
I have underware older than Spledeus!!

We just moved into a community where Bocce Ball is a big deal. I just watched my first game last week.
Thadd has been an old phart as long as I've known him, I'm 58 and I'm younger than he is! 🙂

He probably meant his Grandson just turned 40. 😉
No. I remember seeing some of his family pix a year or two back. He has a foxy young wife, like most surveyors do, but I don't believe there is a multiple-decade age gap between them.
