Journey by horse up into the Rockies, and sit on a rock for a few days.

65 eh? Well that was a while back now but I think Miss Pam took me to Jimmy Walkers sea food in Kemah. Been there since the '40s Some of the best sea food around.

We sat outside up stairs and watched the sailboats and power boats come in. It was a great evening.

What ever you wind up doing I wish you a happy birthday and many happy returns.

I don't even want to remember let alone celebrate my 65th.

Since I am 83, if somehow I could have a 65th birthday, I would be one happy camper.

I turned 62 two days ago and I bought myself a mountain bike for my birthday. I started riding the trails at the lake near my house and was having a blast riding pretty fast through the trees and by a herd of about 7 deer and really enjoying nature. I was surprised at how well I was doing and was in a lot better shape than I expected but all of the sudden I realized that I been going downhill the whole time! Riding uphill was a LOT harder!!!

I celebrated my 65th birthday as I always have. Went to work a couple of days later. I was born on the 26th of December. My parents forgot my first birthday. Didn't bother me any. Never been a fan of birthdays. Most people overlook it.

Retired when I was 70. Birthdays are just another day. As long as I'm vertical and still breathing.

My 65th is next month. Guess that I should start planning.

Mine is coming up soon (11 months) so I'll be celebrating by not having to pay for MY part of the health insurance. Last year on my 63rd birthday was the beginning of the stay at home orders. I bought a new car and a .327 Fed Ruger GP100. Retired April 1st, 2020, 2 weeks later. Next March 16th I just kinda hope to still be alive! Enjoy your birthday.

As I have no plans on retiring at 65, same as any other birthday.

I have no plans on retiring. I'm being paid pretty well where I'm at with a good insurance, but once the subject of my age popped up they've been talking about me training my replacement. This doesn't make me feel very warm and fuzzy. I might consider going back to being self-employed again after I have Medicare, but I'd really like to wait until I'm 67.

My ex boss is still working at my place part time at 75.
I have quite a ways to go yet.

When your birthday is eight days before Christmas it tends to get lost in the shuffle.

Oh, if you haven't already don't forget to enroll in medicare.

That would be perfect for the occasion if I could find one. I sold a stainless steel Ruger GP100 to a friend several years ago. I may try to buy it back. I found him a new one for $500 shortly after I sold him mine, so he has two of them.

I went to Bourbon St. in New Orleans. They say I had a good time. Might do it again in two years for my 75th.

1. like it was my last one.
2. Make the biggest splash that you can, with due respect for others.
3. Defiantly buy yourself another revolver, or pistol.
4. For good measure buy a shotgun, and a rifle.
5. If you drink, buy a bottle of good liquor, and a bottle of good wine, and share them with discretion with your wife.
6. Forget the restaurant. It would undoubtably be filled with noisy, unruly children, and the Covid-threat. You'd also have to fight facemasks. Stay at home, and grill good steaks exactly as you prefer them, for your enjoyment.

Already did it, over eleven years ago. I played my first game of bocce, and my wife and I went out for dinner.

Just pulled the trigger on this Model 65, and was happy with the price as well.
Smith and Wesson 65-3 .357 magnum 4” barrel FREE SHIPPING - Revolvers at GunBroker.com : 898442579

Also, SWMBO said that she would pick up half the cost!

Since I am a lefty, I am going to put the holster out as a karma once I get it.

When I was turning 65 I hunted hard for the perfect gift. I had lots of options within my budget so I was looking for "that" gift that would commemorate the momentous event. When I saw this, I knew it would be THE gift 4 my 65th birthday.

See what I did here?

Took me a while, but I remember. My pinochle group and wives went to a cook it yourself steak place for dinner. The group pitched in and gave me a bottle of Crown Royal XR.

I still have some of the bottle. Two good friends from that group died and I drank a toast to each of them. I might have had a sip on my 70th birthday also.

Here is the Model 65-3 that is coming for my 65th birthday (seller picture).

What are these stocks called? S&W original with the revolver, or aftermarket? Thanks.

Very nice, Congratulations!

So long ago, I can’t remember.

Don't remember 65 specifically, but 80 was enjoyable

Id celebrate with a bottle of Booker's.

Looks like 80 is the new 60! Looking Good!

You are truly fortunate if you can celebrate your Sixty-Fifth with friends, doesn't have to be a crowd. True friends are priceless and if you can count a few you are blessed. I hope you have a great time and many more ahead.

I'm going to be 65 in about 3 months. My plans are to go get some Culver's for lunch, a couple of fish sandwiches, fries and Pepsi. And for dinner, some egg rolls and shrimp fried rice, washed down with more Pepsi. If it wasn't bad for me, I would drink the stuff by the gallon with almost every meal. I love it to almost a ridiculous level.

I turned 65 fourteen years ago and celebrated by quitting my job and quietly walking away. I gave my boss 2 months notice and insisted that no retirement ceremony be staged. She honored my request except for a brief beers after work with our small group of co-workers. I was very concerned that there was trouble ahead in our investment department and wanted out. Little did I know how bad the financial catastrophe of 2008-2010 would be. All members of the group I was in are working elsewhere.

My wife kept working past 65 until her boss came under unrelenting pressure to leave. The situation was taking a toll on my wife so I asked her to quit and she did. Coincidently her boss quit the same day.

Our finances were in great shape so no worries.
