I sure hope it's turned out to be a great one, that the next one will be better, and that the progression continues for many more years!

Thanks everyone for all the Birthday wishes
And, Yes Hank, it is truly an honor to share this special day with you, my longtime friend.
There's no way to avoid the aging process, that I'm aware of, while many processes are taking place within the body, the two that standout most, for those of us that love shooting is a loss of our eyesight, and the tremors in our hands, these changes become more obvious with each passing week....
But we deal with it and life goes on.
Old age ain't for sissies, but it sure beats the alternative.
Respectfully, Russ...

It's the many things we don't do that totally sets us apart.
