Present and accounted for, alive and well but barely awake. Can't have it all I guess. I'm still checking about 50 emails so I'll be in and out again.

Hey Torque, I still consider 40 to be OLD. LOL

Our family actually enjoys good health up till about 60 something. My grandma made it till 87 on my dad's side grandpa made it till 6? (smoked and died of cancer), grandma on mom's side is 88, still driving, still gardening, still very competent and is moving into an assisted living place so she doesn't have to worry all of us about her at home by herself (she'll probably go till the high 90's). She's teaching me how to make her vegetable soup though before she moves and has no kitchen, I found out her new place will have no kitchen for her and I almost cried, that woman can take anyting and make it taste good. Mom's dad died in the early 70's when his tractor rolled over on him.

From some of the vibes i get from some of them (less experienced) i wouldnt doubt it that they thought that. You either got to do it yourself or hold thier hand to get it done right. Im not saying all fitters, but damn these 2 guys are like Beavis and Butthead.
