Gordy, I'm doing everything within my power to hold out on a few of you guys that keep aging.:?

It's bad enough when you get the muzzleloader you've always wanted just in time to join the  "Bucket Brigade"!
However, in all honesty, I cheered those guys on for having the gumption to do what they did at their age....I keep telling everybody, old age ain't for sissies.

Uncle Russ...

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

I think old age is like sex, mostly in the mind.
