Ha!   But you're among the youngest of the rest of the Truly Old Farts on here.

% too old to care

As on "old Fart" ....77, At open track events we are referred to as the "gray" group. Most gray group drivers have more experience with real CSX 2000 & 3000, 65 s& 66s cars than the new generation! Gray group "members" have the memories and and stupid mistakes....! A disappearing group!

Huggies for Seniors, with a CS autograph, is a pretty solid idea.  Oops, I meant "soiled".

Just an observation...

Kind of odd that people that have expressed anti-"democrat" viewpoints on the forum are joining groups that financially support them.

But I guess its worth the 10% at Dennys.

:o

There is actually something happening with that thought. Members of both major parties are supporting the opponents in the opposite party in hopes of running against the weakest or most radical candidate.

Here in NY, Trump is actually supporting a guy running for Congress in NYC that was one of the "Impeachment Managers" against him (the second time).


As was pointed out to me "May you live in interesting times" was actually intended as a curse. I think that I get that part now?

Owned since 1971, now driven over 245,000 miles, makes me smile every time I drive it and it makes me feel 21 again.😎

Found this post by FLSAAC on another site  ;D

I've sure gotten old!​

I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement,​

new knees, fought prostate cancer and diabetes​

I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine,​

take 40 different medications that​

make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts.​

Have bouts with dementia. Have poor circulation;​

hardly feel my hands and feet anymore.​

Can't rem emb er if I'm 85 or 92.​

Have lost all my friends. But, thank God,​

I still have my Florida driver's license.
