You can't really tell from my avatar but - 51 this coming August, going on 25.

However, if I'd known I was gonna live this long, I'd a taken better care of myself.

49 and only acting "my age" when I have to. I know that the most toys doesn't get you the win but I really like the concept - that's where my 51 comes in! Been on vacation last week and this week and I've spent the whole time puttering in the garage on my 51. One of the best vacations I can remember.

Leaks (old but still able to get into trouble)

PS I have a 12 year old daughter - she keeps me young - I have to stay in good enough shape to load the gun!

I'm 42 but technically it's my 22 year old son's truck, but he got married, moved away, and left the truck in my driveway to finish. I suspect that he'll be back to reclaim it as soon as it's finished. (Like that's ever gonna happen)

I don't know what makes you think that! Most of us "geezers" are still working on ours! You don't think we've been just sittin' on our hands all these years do you? One thing both the young and the "geezers" know...the truck is NEVER finished...

If it brightens your day, just think what it does for me. Any day that I recognize is a good day.

Geezers rhymes with wheezers, so I thought that related to heavy breathers. And codgers rhymes with dodgers, so I thought that related to old guys shuffling across the street trying not to get ran over. Just kidding, I'll be there someday. God willing. John

Hey, John -- 24 July 1937, Pasadena, California, Women's Hospital, although I used to tell the other kids it was the Rose Bowl because it sounded more guy-like.
