Birthday present

[/pine]

I thought I would treat myself...so I bought a first aid kit...!

Congrats Fried1765 on hitting the 80 milestone! Approaching that mark in about 3 months, I'll be celebrating right along with you.

In my family tree nobody has gone past 82. Back when I was a young spirit (in my 20's) I set 35 as my mark. Blowing past that I set 75 as my high mark, considering that in my immediate family 75 was the high mark. Now I'm wondering what the new high mark should be. Considering the advances in modern medicine, I ponder as to whether 90 is attainable.

On the other hand, maybe I should cut back on my tree felling, dragging smaller ones under 6" out of the woods and chipping them? In my age 30 mind, I don't think it's time to cut back. But maybe I should? But then what would I want to do inside on that nice "Plether Lazyboy with heat/massage/bluetooth and four cup holders" other than sit and wish to be outside enjoying life? ...nothing but waiting to die, that's what.

No thanks to that cushy lifestyle. I plan to hold steady going forward. Like most others on here, I enjoy work - especially work that I don't HAVE to get done. That kind of work I call pleasure work.

Hopefully we'll both be here on TBN 10 years telling about our problems and pleasures.

VERY Happy Birthday Fried 1765. I'm 78 and purchased my grapple six years ago. However - I've got two years to figure out what to get for my 80th celebration.

Have a good day and GRAPPLE ON ..............

Mr. Fried and Mr. Gem - you are both heroes and prime examples of "...Use it or lose it..."

Keep on doing what yer' doing!!!

And whatever you do - don't climb into that easy chair!

It's the same as a black hole in space - once you're in it, you can never get back out!!!

We most definitely think very much alike !!!
