    Wow! I'm touched - now it's two ways -
    both mentally![:o)]

    Yeah - it's true - all the men in my family
    - paternal and maternal - have dropped
    dead between 50 & 59 - I'm the first to
    go hurtling through the 60 year mark
    since 1944 (a great grandfather at 79).
    Five more hours and I'll be shattering
    'the BIG 62!'

    ... seriously, if I knew I'd last this long I'd
    have taken better care of myself.[:o)]

    Thanks!

    ... and Doug - we'll be up to see you in about
    three weeks.

    Glad to see you made it past the 60 mark. I do imagine that you were a bit worried about that number with your history. I hope you are still posting here when you are 85.

    If you do get up to this area, give me a heads up, I would like to say Hi also if you are in Portland.

    sig232: Thanks - nah, not really worried - with a record like that I was
    just resigned to the Law of the Genes (and Diet) - we did have a pretty
    big shindig for my 60th but most was probably for just going over
    another decade hurtle. Every day I open my eyes in the morning is a
    bonus! Death has never been anything to worry about - when it's time,
    I'll step up to it .... just like everyone else.

    Yes, we are going to be in Portland in about three weeks. A major
    retrofit has slowed things down in San Marcos, which is going to
    allow us a fairly normal (travel) summer. After seeing what Doug's air
    museum is all about we are definately going to stop and check that
    - and Doug - out. Like to meet you, too. I'll e-mail you.

    Seattle is our final destination - via the coastal route.

    quote:"Another day older and deeper in debt........."

    Some people say a man is made outta mud
    A poor man's made outta muscle and blood
    Muscle and blood and skin and bones
    A mind that's a-weak and a back that's strong

    You load sixteen tons, what do you get
    Another day older and deeper in debt
    Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
    I owe my soul to the Gunbroker store

    I was born one mornin' when the sun didn't shine
    I picked up my keyboard and I walked to the board
    I downloaded sixteen tons of Zipperzap coal
    And the straw boss said "Well, a-bless my soul"

    You load sixteen tons, what do you get
    Another day older and deeper in debt
    Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
    I owe my soul to the Gunbroker store

    I was born one mornin', it was drizzlin' rain
    Fightin' and trouble are my middle name
    I was raised in the canebrake by an ol' mama lion
    Cain't no-a high-toned woman make me walk the line

    You load sixteen tons, what do you get
    Another day older and deeper in debt
    Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
    I owe my soul to the gunbroker store

    If you see me comin', better step aside
    A lotta men didn't, a lotta men died
    One fist of iron, the other of steel
    If the right one don't a-get you
    Then the left one will

    You load sixteen tons, what do you get
    Another day older and deeper in debt
    Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
    I owe my soul to the gunbroker store



    I figger you are good for 85 on orneriness alone Zip, and a couple more years for your jokes.

    Best Wishes.

    ... I'd go a little more 'Southern dialect' on that
    last word.

    You load sixteen tons, what do you get

    Saint Peter don't you call me 'cause I can't go
    I owe my soul to the gunbroker 'stoe'!

    ... sounds bettah!
