well today was my b-day
....turned 59. grand kids were over and it felt lik I was a parent again.
I told my son who has the only boy to stop being so hard on his kid.
Boy it's hard to remember your kids are calling the shots and don't want interference.
My youngest son wanted to argue physics ....that was interesting.
Getting older is not fun. I think when i turn sixty I am just gonna pull the coffin lid closed and say the hell with it,

Happy Birthday, when you pass 60 you don't worry about it anymore, and what's wrong with physics questions?

Hey,,,,,Happy Birthday. Stay away from parenting for your kids. It's a no win situation. It's also fun when they ask Grampa about things we did "back in the olden days". I'll be 66 a week from Sunday.
One way to outthink people is to make them think you think. They'll think you're not really thinking what you're trying to get them to think you think...........

Hey old man I turned 59 a week ago. Ready to cash it in? Not me. Been on a health kick for 5 years now. I honestly feel better and more fit than I did years ago. Never to late to start old man.
Have a better year, at least talk yourself into one. F'em all, pal.
Expect nothing, yet expect the unexpected.

Arlen, it's that clean Mi country air that keeps YOU going. Originally Posted by Snoring Beagle

Quite a few of my customers became widows since last seasonal inspection.
They are about my age too
And they seem a lot more friendly now that the husbands are passed on.
Couple of 'em are real classy ladies. I'd like to hook up with one who has a great medical field job.
I put in a new hvac system including Sanuvox UV light and a Skuttle. Didn't bat an eye when i quoted her the price (I ain't cheap).
Now that's my kind of lady.
I should invite her out for a nice dinner. God knows all my wife wants is buffet food from the casino.

Hey bill are you still doing installs your self and a helper? Originally Posted by Mr Bill

Me, the last few installs I did by my self and it took a couple days cause my back slowed my down. At least I know it got done right.
How about you, or are you just letting the crew do it?
