Damn, I usually don't start talking like that until most of the 12 pack is gone. But I agree,, do the stuff you want to do before they start throwing dirt in your face.. I've seen "Old Age" sneak up and bite quite a few folks in the ass. I've got a few more years on me and I'm starting to...

I watched a couple of the 1st season Top Shots shows. I thought, Great a shooting show. Folks shooting different types of firearms to see who is the top shot, sounded good. But, they turned a shooting match into "Reality TV" crap. So, I quit watching.. I might try to watch it again this...

HCYLE, Sorry to hear about the job. The company I worked at for 32 years came in and said it would be a good time to retire because we are closing down. I think everybody there had trouble dealing with and coping with it. You question your self worth. What do I do now ? Everything I've been...
