Over the hill gang.

Re: Over the hill gang.

Boy this sure hits home. Derwood, I got my first gray hair at 17. I got my first wake up in the morning aches and pains at 30. I got 16 on the Cigar Man test. I never think about age. Yeah, my employees remind me and I never thought I would live until 35, but you are as young as you feel. I do have a question though.<br /><br />Why did my nose hair start growing faster than the hair onmy head falls out?<br /><br />Also have a tip. That draino slow drain stuff works great to get all the hair out of my drain and keep it flowing freely for the next batch.<br /><br />Only complaint is the back, I was hoping to fish more as the years go by, but my back still has not recovered from the carp fishing 3 weeks ago.

Re: Over the hill gang.

Hey Derwood,<br /> You are way too young to be worring about this stuff. I had a few aches and pains back when I was your age too. But you know what, I'm pushing 50 and still feel 25. I don't move quite as fast as I once did but I do alright. I even still turn a pretty young womans head every once and a while. As far as the sir stuff, well you'll just have to get used to that. At least someone is paying you respect. By the way my grand kids are the ones bouncing around to Brittney Spears. What I would give to be as young as you again, man It must be nice to be in the prime of your life cause that's where you are. <br /> Now don't worry about how old you are because you are not old. Just enjoy the present and forget about the age thing. <br /><br />

Well, some guys fall appart sooner than others, depending on how he and this world have treated the only chasis God endowed him with.<br />I know guys in thier 60's and one in his early 70's that could mop the floor with me (if only I had enough hair to make a good mop).<br />I don't resent that,nor do I obcess on how bad launching my bigger boat affects my back,the aches from other areas of my 50year old frame,keeping me from jumping after a rebound...<br />But I wear this wrinkled shell as a badge of honor.I've seen and done things that make for good stories on a moonlit fishin pier.<br />So when I'm called sir, I feel somewhat proud.<br />I also came to realization that life is way too short.So, look forward to old age. I am, big-time.<br />I Have 346days to retirement and counting. I'll be young for a retired guy, but too old for physical labor (thank ya, Jesus!).<br />I plan on using those years to the best advantage I can to those around me. After all, in the end, that's what this game is about.<br />And as long as us old guys like Derwood and crew keep that sence of humor,the world around him will be smiling.<br />Besides,long nose hair can be groomed into a great tactile sensor, like that of a cat..see my latest self potrait, below (Note full length beard and cane that doubles as a short-distance rock chunker,hammer, fish club and pry bar. Also note ear-to-ear S.E. Grin)<br />"U.S.A. Number One!!"<br /><br />

Non of this sqiggly tailed stuff either.<br /><br />You did'nt need a lead suit to go near the water.<br /><br />Remember hush puppy shoes.<br /><br />I watch all the educational chanels and my eyeman hates it when I tune the radio in the truck to N.P.R.<br /><br />Dang Gonefishen....you can still bend down far enough to tie your shoes....I have to use a shrinkage chart to guess at the size of my partner in crime cause I have'nt seen him outside of a full length mirror in years (I'm still young enough to brag)<br /><br />They did not build girls like that when I was in school....And I'm not inspired to look anymore....All I see is somebodys daughter.<br /><br />Yall have got E.S.P. or something....I just got a compass for my truck.<br /><br /> My lawnmower is a 1952 Harry Furgusen T-30 tractor. And I love it....SSSOOOOO.<br /><br />I guess I'll worry about the "sir" thing when the kid that called me sir gets called that himself....If I don't woop em first.<br /><br />It was just yesterday when my daughter was born....It seems that way anyhow.<br /><br />I just sat here and counted all the cars I've owned.....23....My eyeman at work is only 22.<br /><br />However!<br /><br />Getting older is not a bad thing....a little painful sometimes....occasionaly emmbarasing....But not bad.<br /><br />I like being wise enough to solve a problem from experiance instead of doing it ten times real fast till I get it right like the young uns.<br /><br />I know why pepole fought in wars and for what instead of thinking it was an adventure like most of the young men I know.<br /><br />If my eyeman gets that hair on his chest pulled out (by me) I can give him 4 longer ones off my right ear and a little glue and the honeys will realy think he's all that and a bag of chips....derwood to the rescue.<br /><br />I,ve only got 35 more years to retire....BBWWHAAAAA, SOB, SOB, BBBWHAAAAA.<br /><br />I have a coffie maker that has the pot on top of a pot with a glass filter....My daughter thinks its a scince project....Darn good coffie maker.<br /><br />I think older is just being enrgy efficent not to mention wiser.<br /><br />Dinowood.<br /><br />P.S.

Re: Over the hill gang.

I'll bet JB scored a 100 on CigarMans Post. He probably could go back further than that like even before Motors were put on Boats. Thats probably why he has so much Knowledge because he was there in the Beginning of it all......{said with respect JB}........
