60+ year old thread.

I am getting too old to hustle stone.
Picked up some extra rocks on Tuesday and today for around the pond and to make steps up to the bird feeded. The total weight was close to 700 lbs.

I used a wheelborrow to move the rocks from the Tacoma to the back yard but the rock is still heavy. It did not seem as heavy 5 years ago.

No more whining from me, it is time to trim the lawn. Then a shower, off to buy some plants and then on to the movies with the family at 2:00 today.

I don't mind the heat, but you can keep the humidity.... that's what kills me

I need Lisa's smiley with the binoculars

 

I would say is the car purring like a kitten but I know better. With the L72 engine if the car had wings it would be able to fly.

I love the rumble of the L72, low and loud.

 

Morning All

 

Good morning Jim.

morning all: well; not exactlly purring, still need to go over valves after initial settings. that should do, to quiet it down-somewhat!

should put a tank, or two, of gas in it and drive it for a couple of HOURS !
maby should take the 488's out.

 

TGIF!!!! morning all

 

I thought I was bad with 411's.

 

Morning All,, Back to Tampa today, Last trip over there. Chet gets out for good Sun. Jim

 

morning all: hopefully your bubby will be OK. sounds like pretty good news!
couple of days ago I bumped into an old friend. they're chopping away on him. only half of a left foot. think he said 14 operations so far; diabetes!

 

Sorry to hear that Carl. Prayers for youe friend. Diabetes is one of the reasons I go to the gym and purchased a bicycle.

Good morning Jim.

 

great news Jim

hope he can get it under control and no more operations

keep it up Tom!!!


morning everyone. Man it's gonna be hot out there today...

 

Did a lot of work in the veggie garden today Susan. I need to stop and clean the Tacoma tomorrow but I know that will not happen. Too many small outside items that need to be worked on.

I was really feeling old today. I would take 10 good licks with a pick, trying to dig out a cement footer for a garden bench, and I would need to take a 2 min breather. Swinging a 10lb sledge was not a lot of fun either.

I don't post much here ... but several of my HS classmates (that I was very close to) have died recently. And some that I have known back to age 3 or 4 y/o.

As we get older ... they start going fast ... just reflecting back as I am typing this. Cancer & heart attacks are getting most of them.

Since leaving the military ... I try to squeeze every drop of the "juice of life" out everyday. Feel very fortunate just to breathe that sweet smell of the air everyday now.

On this Memorial Day ... RIP to all (military & civilian) that have passed before us.

^^^^10-4 sky 6, It comes with our age..

 

morning all: seems like we're living in a rain forest up here in NE Pa.

 

The weather bimbets keep calling for rain in the DC area but it has not happenec in the last two weeks.

 

morning all...back from vacation and back to reality tomorrow...had a great time and didn't want to leave...hope all is well with everyone until I get caught up with everything on TW. Looks like a beautiful day ahead...Memorial day rememberances on tap for today...Thanks to all military persons past and present for your service...Ken
