Happy Birthday old-timer, hope it's a good one. Don't worry Russ, he's too slow to catch me. Besides, from his place to mine is all up hill.
Hey Fiddler on the Floor, good to see you're still hanging around.

Thanks for all the good words guys.  Today was a nice day...calm and quiet.  Best of all, now that I am of legal age...I can sign my own contracts...drive after dark with passengers and if I were a drinking man...I could even walk into a bar using my very own ID. :)

Al, I don't think walking into a bar has ever been your problem.

That feller Hank is STILL sharper than a tack!
I've walked "into" a tree a time or two, but I kinda steer clear of them building thingys, they can hurt ya.
But...I suspect this old age thing effects all of us a wee bit differently....walking into bars???

Al, are the "Blues" running?
Or are ya going after Bass?
This time of year, Bass on top water is a real kick butt operation. Ya gotta love it!
Hank spent a few days with me a couple of years ago when the wife was in the Hospital, and guess what, we didn't even wet a line!

Besides all that....I rather harass you on your Birthday than drink cold beer, well, maybe, almost.
