My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
All you hear is a whooshing sound when something goes Over your head...
Sorry. I still don't know what I missed there. I'm not bald. So it's not a bald joke.

My credo
I poop in the furnace.
I'll have you know I have 2 days until I am officially old... So you can't say anything until Monday!

Now let me figure out this AARP website. Where's my social security check! Get those kids off my lawn! Did I take my fiber tablets this morning?

Wait, our birthdays are only 2 days apart? For the record I'm 1 year and 4 days away from officially being old... but since I slept wrong and my shoulder/rib area hurts now to the point I could barely tie my right shoe a bit ago says otherwise...

Had some helpers today pulling out carpet. They didn't do much, the only thing I said they agreed with was lunch! After some nuggets from Wendy's they started napping. I started on sound deadening, got some noico 80 mil from Amazon, seems good so far

Sir I know my smells. My truck may have smelled like rotting clams, a sardine orgy, partially digested captain crunch, armpit onions, and the farts of a 14th century street urchin, BUT NOT OLD PEOPLE!
I've smelled old people, and I don't have to smell your truck to know that old people smell MUCH better than your truck's interior does.

Thanks, just got back from a buddys daughters birthday party and another buddy that has the same birthday as me just a few years younger but has a laser engraver handed me a cigar case with my nick name (rowdy) and initials engraved in it, that's a hard one to beat...

Shoulder/rib area still doesn't feel right, if the stupid cat makes me sleep weird again I'll have to kick the jerk... I tried an Alieve, I tried drinking it off, I can at least breathe all the way in with just minor pain but it was frustrating this morning... stupid aging, getting old isn't for the weak :)
