I've noticed that driving in the rain reduces my mpg by 1 mpg pretty reliably. Makes sense, since there's a lot of moisture being sucked into the Intake, which displaces oxygen.

Well, it happened today. I haven't shaved for about a month. 50% of my beard is gray. I stopped in at a McDonalds to get a cup of coffee, and she gave me the Senior Citizen Discount! Wasn't expecting that!!

I don't remember if I had the beard when you guys came over and we cooked out or not. I let it grow out in the winter, and when I'm going on a canoe trip to Northern Minnesota. (it keeps the mosquitoes off my face) It gets a little more grey every year.

On our 2012 trip, the server at Culver's gave me the senior discount, even though I wasn't old enough. The kids thought they were going to make fun of me, but figured out what a tightwad I am. I'll take a little abuse if it means I save enough to buy a desert.

Yeah, you were rockin' the manbeard, Ken.

I guess I'm the snotnosed brat of the group, with a bunch of "(almost) old farts!

If you get to post #18 you will see he's doing well, but I wanted to let you guys know what was going on. He is, after all, one of our Kentucky Brothers.
