Today is my Birthday. Another year older...

I don't particularly look old, but I sure do feel it. Too many injuries over the years... Bullet holes and broken bones... Now replaced by odd aches and dull pains.

Oh well I guess... It was a hell of a ride getting here so far! LOL

Happy Birthday to me...

Happy Birthday. Amazing to make it this far isn't it ?


Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.

Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

Happy birthday, Skater!


There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

I'm 41 and honestly I still feel the same as when I was 25.

Sorry Jim... While I have looked at Skaters and Snowboarders with envy and amazement... I am not a skater in any way shape or form. I got the 'nick' Skater in the Navy, for my uncanny ability to 'skate' out of any real or perceived #%&*$# duty, work detail, bad situation, ambush, etc. I've always had that ability... It took the Navy to give me a word for it, and it stuck. You needed get out of a particular watch... Talk to Skater. Need a log 'fixed'... Talk to Skater. Need a part for your critical piece of equipment that you just can't find and the QM or SK is telling you it's gonna take 6 weeks... Talk to Skater. That was me. Still is I suppose. I find things for people, and find a way to get it to them that it really does not cost them anything... It's just my way. wink

Thanks for the Birthday wishes though!

Happy birthday sir...
Have you reached the age where you grunt when bending over for no appreciable reason?
I will be 64 shortly and old injuries are coming back to haunt me. Just sports/work/bike accidents; nothing dramatic like yours smile
I also find I fart when lifting objects or climbing ladders now. (A tuneful guff per rung)
