nohing much
« on: April 15, 2009, 09:44:55 AM »
I know its no big deal but I got the wee beesty cranked up yesterday and out on the road for 5-10 minutes, with no woggles or wobbles from me, felt good, so I guess on my 70th birth day all things being equal I'll usher in my 7th decade with a small ride and if I get the flood claim from the insurance company sorted and the jetting for the bike worked out it will be a longer jaunt. Spring must almost be here, it's not going to freeze overnight and no white stuff.

Your 7th decade doesn't technically start until you're 71, since your age started at 1 and not zero.  :)

Congrats on the test run, and wishing you a  preemptive Happy Birthday.   ;D

MrBlasty little before my time, if memory serves me right they were called Chariots and were probably simpler to start than my Matchless.

          Now that's COLD! Classifying a person as OLD, if they were born before McDonalds. ::) There are several of us, I mean several folks that are in THAT category. :(  Least we're still around, huh? :D AND that is a GOOD thing! Maybe some of us could be classified as being part of the "Diary Queen" (or Tastee Freeze) crowd. ;D   AND, might be able to pee on demand, but it gets a bit harder to make a trip of much length without a "Pit Stop". ::) ;D

         BTW, Happy Early Birthday Wishes Bill, in case I "forget" later. :)
