Al

You're right about "old" Al.
He confided in me one time that he was pretty close with Adam and Eve , and had personally warned Eve about eating Apples and trusting Snakes.
He said he remembered back when Methuselah was born, and Hank had warned him about Arthritis, and joints that no longer work right when one gets older.
Yep, reckon that Hank knows a thing or three about old age! :bow

A Happy B-day from me also, Hank!  :hairy  AS long as you can fork a motorcycle you're doing alright.  Except maybe having to share the day with our favorite Uncle, of course! :lol sign
