41 on 4/11. I still get my hair cut highand tight to hide the gray but lately it seems to still show. I also nevr listened to the old man and did the dumb "I am tough " things, now I feel it everyday. But in defense of old guys I helped my 20 year old stepson move today and was carrying the heavy stuff. He said I was showing off, I said he was weak from to many video games and not enough hard labor growing up.

Life is what you make it.. I like most people over thirty have abused my body during my youth. I get up and hurt for about the first hour. My ears always ring, due to shooting without ear protection.It won't be much longer till I need glasses, the eyes just don't focus fast anymore. Then I look back and realize I've worked hard all my abult life, andcan be proiod of what I've done and who I am. And the best feeling is when your chilldren say how cool you are, or that they would rather turn awrench and ride in your old truck, then hangout with the other kids or ride in a new vehicle with all the toys. Just my .02 worth on my life.

As far as the people on this site I believe they are all pretty much honest caring people who are more than willing to help out their neighbor. I'm glad I found this place not only has it saved my money and thought me alot, it's nice to see other people with a common intrest instead of hearing Why you working on that you need to get a new truck and leave that thing alone.

A year or so ago my son needed a new pickup and wanted me to go help him make a deal.
To make a long story short we arrive in my 86 idi it had a new paint job and looked pretty sharp but the salesman kept trying to impress me instead of my son so I finally told him you see what I'm driving. When he said yes I told him he had better try to sell my son a truck because he didn't have a chance with me when I get to the point of having to have an easy lift tailgate I'll turn my liscence in.
Besides I like the payment plans on the old idi's.

Dave do like me I tell my wife that gray hair just shows how distinguished I am.
I'm sure that isn't spelled right grey hair hasn't helped my spelling.

Looking at the bright side on this poll 31% is between 21 and 30 after next month I'll be in the 51 to 60 bracket only 10%.
So the way I figure I should start felling a lot younger after next birthday.
Or does that mean I'll be too old to keep one of these things running.

I found out this past deer season that I am getting old. I used to tease my dad when he had to get scopes on all his guns because he couldn't focus down a barrel at the target anymore. This year using my muzzle loader ( no scope ) I pulled it up on a real nice doe and took aim, except I couldn't make out the deer at the end of the barrel lol. I called my dad that nite and said I was sorry, he got a good luagh out of it.

It's gonna be nice to be able to buy Diesel Kleen and such products without having to worry about being carded. I find it so freaking stupid I can buy gasoline (which I have heard of people huffing) legally, but I can't buy fuel injector cleaners, or oil stabilezers.
haha, i look forward to that too, im turning 18 this summer.

It really pisses me off that i cant buy Diesel Kleen because i am under age, but i have found places such as small autoparts stores that dont card you.
