At 89, anything with the word “crypt” in it is a real turnoff for me.

Negotiating advice 101. When you want to make a deal real bad you will make a really bad deal. #SingaporeSummit
Turn 91 today. Here’s how I celebrated my 2nd birthday. Things were simpler then. At my age now, a cake with candles is a certified fire hazard.
On this #PresidentsDay, I pause to reflect on two of the best, Ronald Reagan and Abraham Lincoln. I’m fortunate to have lived a long life that has allowed me to vote for both, and my pictures with each are family keepsakes.
I'm proud of and #okstate football. Thanks for 1 of the greatest games I've ever watched. My heartfelt note to coach...
Sitting at my desk shedding a few tears as I pen my annual thoughts for the #okstate fan base. Releasing it at 10am CT tmrw. Spoiler alert: When you hit your 90s, two things happen. 1) Your memory isn’t as good as it once was. 2) The memories you do have you tend to cherish more.
. Don't worry. At $950 million, I'm doing fine. Funny, my $1 billion charitable giving exceeds my net worth.
Sporting new glasses this AM when & #okstate legend stopped by. Thinking about buying a pair for all refs so they can look back and clearly see what a great catch he made in ’14 game. Glasses or no, any way you look at Dez he’s impressive.
Uh, I think so. twitter.com/asublett11/sta

This message from T. Boone Pickens was written prior to his passing on September 11, 2019. "Have faith, both in spiritual matters and in humanity, and in yourself. That faith will see you through the dark times we all navigate." #RememberingBoone
Watching #DemDebate on energy issues..or so I thought. Wrong channel. Think it’s actually the Looney Tunes network.
My thoughts on #okstate’s quest for a national football championship which begins anew tomorrow night. I’ll be there. Excited for the upcoming season! boonepickens.com/?p=2077
When you are 91, reflecting on your life and impact is both painful and joyous. Here's where my head is on all of that. My annual missive to the #okstate fan base. boonepickens.com/?p=2230
Not making the #okstate Cowboy Golf Pro Am, my first miss in 46 years. Here’s what I am missing this morning. Surely you have a favorite in there somewhere.
Burning out my DVR watching #OKState Bedlam victory. Think I can afford another DVR. #notworried Proud of our Cowboys.
What are people doing with extra pocket money because of low gasoline prices? People I know buy more beer.
My good friend Jerry Jones has some Hall of Fame business friends. Now he'll be in NFL Hall of Fame. Much deserved. Congrats!
Reason 1,390 I respect and why I am excited, even at 90, to see how develops over the next decade.

“A fool with a plan can beat a genius with no plan.” I’m grateful my dad pulled me aside and gave me this warning at a young age. I’ve never been without a plan since. #Booneism
Very proud of Viktor Hovland and his strong amateur showing Even as I close in on my 91st birthday, confident I will see him don the #GreenJacket one day. Hopefully sooner rather than later. #okstate
Big news today: I'm putting my 65,000-acre #MesaVistaRanch on the market. I’m proud of our conservation efforts that have taken place over decades and hope the next owner has the same passion.

I’ve always said a legend is someone who is past 70 and still working. But it’s also when you are nearing 91 and getting great awards like this. Thanks #okstate.

I challenge anyone to come up with a #FBF photo of themselves that goes back further than this. Here’s me with my mom, Grace, 90 years and 4 months ago. I think of her every day. Happy #MothersDay weekend to all the moms out there.
Christmas in July! Signed jersey from my friend Future Super Bowl QB so of course I'll frame it. #okstate legend who will be #pittsburghsteelers legend one day, too.
Here’s a chance for an #okstate student + friend to watch this Saturday’s game w/Texas Tech in my suite at Boone Pickens Stadium! 1) Follow me on Twitter. 2) Tell me why I should choose you using #pickmeboone - cleverness earns bonus points! Will DM the winner by 3 pm Friday.
Walked down my own Memory Lane this morning, back to 1990 and when I almost ran for governor of Texas. Best decision ever not to. Hard to become a billionaire in public office. Legally, anyway.
Give me two more feet in height and take off 70 years and I could be a tight end prospect like my #okstate and friend Blake Jarwin . Thanks for stopping by today. Go Pokes. Both of them.
You don’t want to know.

Most memorable thing you ever did at Oklahoma State as a student?
Some wrote about it. Some lived it. “Profiles in Courage.” Salute, my friend.
From start to finish, President handling of #KeystoneXL pipeline is a national embarrassment & a failure of leadership. Sad.
This former Navy SEAL was honored with the first Pickens Warrior Fellow award. Congrats Morgan Luttrell.
Experienced a ministroke. Will be another ‘Old Man Makes a Comeback’ story. Back to working in the office. I think. Kidding. More later.
#WWWTBT Way way way throwback Thursday to when I had a nice letter jacket and a sweet ride. Been down a lot of great highways in the 70-plus years since then. One heck of a great ride. Going to keep riding until I hear glass breaking.
Nice night when 1,000 of your closest friend sing you Happy Birthday (90th) six weeks early. Thanks and
My thoughts on the passing of patriot, entrepreneur and visionary business leader, Ross Perot.
Long reflection weekend post-Bedlam. Tremendously proud of #okstate football, fan support and incredible progress we've made.
Left the house this morning thinking it would be great to find a new role model. And then walked into my office. Goal met. Someone I really look up to. Literally. . #okstate

Love & playing at Augusta National. Fingers crossed changes from #okstate orange to green on Sunday. #themasters
Had this Rolodex for decades. Now is as good a time as ever to update and, well, maybe see if we can get them into that computer thing they talk so much about.

Good morning to everyone except T.Boone Pickens.
Plotting #okstate pro career with and . I'm predicting him a solid first rounder. Good kid. #quarterback
Herb Kelleher is arguably the most transformative figure and character in the history of modern aviation. He is the epitome of the can-do entrepreneurial spirit. My heart goes out to his family and all our friends.
Only twice in my life have I walked off the job. Both times I had a plan, and this time is no different. boonepickens.com/2018/01/making
Met #okstate great receiver at Pro Day a bit ago. Thought about challenging him to a foot race. Then sanity prevailed.
Nice, but sure hoping you're drafted a lot higher than your pitch. #okstate

A tribute to T. Boone Pickens from the print version of the Dallas Morning News on September 15, 2019. #RememberingBoone
30 years ago today and still in the game. Less hair, same energy.
Bunch of you were there before me, but milestone w/ #dow today. 200 when I was born in '28, broke 20,000 today.
Nice visit from good friend #okstate AD Mike Holder. Came to pump me up for '17 football season. Didn't need to. Already pumped. 1 week!
You can be old at 30 or you can be young at 90. Even after a few setbacks, I've chosen the latter.
Funny, amazing and sad fact: #okstate legend Justice Hill has posted a 4.4 second 40-yard dash at #NFLCombine2019. At 90, I’d clock in at 4.4 minutes. He has a promising future and I’m a big fan. youtube.com/watch?v=MdT1k6
Lee and I were leaders in restructuring corporate America in the 70s and 80s. Goal? Make America great again. We were trailblazers . RIP brother. Automotive industry legend Lee Iacocca dies at the age of 94
Well known fact: I transferred from Texas A&M to #okstate after losing my basketball scholarship after my freshman year of college. Lesser known fact: I used to be 6-foot tall, but I started shrinking after I stopped playing ball. pamplinmedia.com/pt/12-sports/4
Lost my ass on wind energy. Not wrong. Just early. Interesting read on one man who got it right.
A winner.

@boonepickens Who should the Pokes hire as our new basketball coach?
A hidden camera caught in a clandestine, midnight dip at my #MesaVistaRanch koi pond. Then Maverick and Goose made an appearance on the flight home. Great #okstate football legends weekend.
