Thanks, guys! It's too windy today to shoot. Maybe tomorrow. My grandson wanted to be a teenager so much that on his 12th Bday he proudly told everyone "I'm going on 13!" Well now I can say, not so enthusiastically, "I'm going on 80."

Happy 79th, Don!  Remember, 80 is just a number.  Once you exceed it you can bask in the glory of doing things that younger folks think are impossible (especially for someone beyond their 70s).

Happy Birthday, Don.
This is going to be the last of your 70's.  Make the most of it.
Once you hit 80, well, shucks, I dunno, I guess it's just like 79, only older.
But not in a bad way.  Just think, it is better than the alternative.
