Gets more fun every year.
Started out on a farm tractor as a wee lad. Got a job running a green weenie (euclid belly dump) when I was 18.

I'll be 64 next month, but I'm still a kid on the inside. I can keep up with those much younger than me and plan on doing it for another 10 years. My problems stem from injuries from many years of racing motorcycles. I get up early every morning and creak and groan with every step. I get on a spinning bike and after that exercise for a while. When I am done, I am good to go for the day. I refuse to feel my age, and attitude is everything.
When you wake up in the morning you can decide what kind of a day you are going to have. If you decide to have a good day, it is pretty hard for others to screw it up for you.
