Re:My Big-Boy, a Little Different Design. 2 Years, 9 Months ago  
As I get older it seems:
1. I drop a lot more stuff.
2. It's a lot farther to the ground.
3. If I fall, the ground is a lot harder than it used to be.
Case in point. 50 year old does 1/2 a cartwheel, can barely walk for a week.

I've got wheels, I just got to get the rust off and grease them up. I may end up looking like the shopping cart lady, pushing around a load of junk.

Wow ... it's quite possible that I've finally found a forum that I'm the young guy on.

I can get use to this!

well for a couple of young uns you both are doing quite well. there wasnt a internet when i was your age. but i had access to some old timers (retired engineers,) who were a mine of info. all i had to do was ask intellegent questions and they were only two pleased to help. at times tho they used to get upset when they couldnt physically show me due to age. same here in a way. without pics and vid its all talk! can be very frustrating at times.

I wanted to get a shot of my wheels today and try to get it cleaned up to paint. I had to mow the yard and clean up my mess from casting. I always seem to get some aluminum in between the bricks on the patio.
I'd like to fill all the cracks maybe the weeds would die.

XL, my 21 year old son believes in losing everything before it wears out.
"I don't know what happened to it, Dad. Oh well, I needed a new one anyway.
Then you go buy it!!!
