Thanks - but it's John, not Al.  His is on a different day.

Nope, not 34 or 35, more like 47, turned around.

Good grief, what are you trying to do to me?  That'd stretch me out to nearly 150.  Took a look at my birth certificate and nowhere on it did  I see the name Methuselah.
Thanks for the wishes.

John

Sorry John, I have no idea why I typed "Al",.... I must'a had another "senior moment" (it seems to be happenin' a lot lately).

Do this mean all the plunder we sent to Al - he has to send it to John?  :o :Doh!

Thanks guys for all the well wishes.
Started the day out with Eggs Benedict for breakfast, a favorite.  Then after a bit, I convinced myself to head out into the horn shop and work.  Got four powder horns started and maybe half way finished.  Somewhere in the middle of the day I decided the lawn needed mowing.  Knocked off about 4 PM and took a shower then Mrs Smoke and I retired to the patio for some VO therapy followed by a nice steak on the barbie.  Watched a movie on TV then called it a day well spent.
