Naw, No way I know douchebags when I read them. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.......Two threads was enough for me. I got flamed on both.......*** that noise.

 

Thats cause your a 70's guy tryin to hang with the young gearheads..

 

HEY us young guys can be gear heads too!

 

Read a lot into that didn't you ? Shows well defined and deepest held prejudices , a machine can't be a god there isn't such a thing sorry . What I was speaking about was a personal choice to pursue a lifestyle of my own choosing the way I wanted to live it without towing someone else's version of what the think you need to and buddy I have enough credits & OJT plus time and grade to qualify for an ME degree a time or 2 over . I've been white collar & had a business a short while , wrong time & location for both those and I didn't like the people nor how little life I had left . Want to justify having no life outside chasing a buck good for you doesn't mean we all worship at that alter .

I've very much enjoyed my life done & seen things most never will but that time has come & gone too bad for most it was something that will never be again , just that right confluence of thing and point in history .

 

Hehe... tell gramps to by a caddy!!!

 

actuall 80's but I'll take the compliment.

 

Geez... ya didn't age well....

 

I drink like a fish, used ta smoke like a chimney in the 'burg an worked every day of my life............naw I didn't. but I'm still here dagnabbit!

 

About as well or better than I've heard that sentiment expressed before. The "something that will never be again" depresses me when I think about it, but at least I have the memories of many things most folks wouldn't experience if they lived twice as long as me. But they probably wouldn't want to do a lot of what we've done, either.

 

Word , man cards have been in real short supply the last 25 or so from what I've seen
