I honestly don't think about the Cantina member in terms of age, gender, race or religion. I just think it's a group of good people. I wish the world at large was more like it. I like you just the way you are Pappy.

I thank you all. I welcome and accept all comments made. I just try to be me and that is all I can be. I used to get upset about people that try to be something or someone they are not. I guess I've melloweed just a bit. I don't worry about that sort of thing much any more. I don't think there are any of the phoney folks that I am referring to on this forum. I know a good spell back we had a couple of jewels that I am glad are gone. They impressed me so much that I only remember one of their handles.
The way things are with the HI forum, I enjoy just checking in and reading items that I've missed and the few posts that I missed from the previous day. I even miss the duck when he goes too long with out posting./

Forums are wierd. You can't tell who, if anyone is reading your stuff. I sometimes wonder how many people's ignore lists I'm on. I figure I'm entertaining myself, so I'm here till they ban me.

Pappy, it's not you that is old, it's your bathroom mirror.
Most people don't realize how quick mirrors wear out, and then they start worrying it's them that are getting old. All you really need is to replace mirrors every five or six years with a brand new one.
Another tip is to make the new replacement a little bit smaller each time. Mine is now about half the size of a credit card. Have to put my glasses on to find it at all!

You're not too old Pappy! Think about this- how many people half your age can't even manage to post on an internet forum? If you can adapt to an entirely new form of communication you are obviously not too old! I remember your first post on the HI forum and have enjoyed your company ever since.
Even as a young boy I learned that the older a man was the more interesting stories he had to tell and the more valuable skills he could teach.

Here in Upstate New York there is a huge bike rally held every year in Lake George called Americade. Thousands of Motorcycle enthusiasts descend on this little town for a week. I am always amazed at these guys, majority are in their 50's and 60's, riding Harleys or the big Hondas and such. People come from everywhere. It's a great time. Tons of vendors and a real comfortable atmosphere, more like family than hardcore biker rally.
One of my installers and his wife take that week off, so they can work the Americade helping people out. This year, he was helping set up, and has a little trailer that he pulls behind his Harley. Luckily his wife wasn't with him when this happened. As he put it "Traffic stopped, Walt didn't". On the freeway, he had to lay the bike down, but he was scared that if he didn't stay with the bike the trailer would hit him. So he rode the Harley into the back of this lady's car. The tires hit her car and bounced him back, the trailer broke loose and went past him. He came out with a hurt leg and skinned arm and hurt ribs but thats all. Unfortunatly, he totaled his bike. This is like the day before the festivities begin. He ended up doing Americade in his Chevy Blazer.
The insurance paid for his Harley's parts and he's doing all the rebuilding himself, former mechanic. Then he's going to have it professionally repainted by a friend of his.
