Metal Casting Zone

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.

ive been around and in many old timers sheds and workshops and a sure sign of old age is WHEELS ON everything! and very bright lights! lol lol and water taps on every corner with a short hose attached.lifting jacks and levers every where and a place for every thing!

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!

I can get use to this! well my only regret with casting is i wish i had started 30 years earlier and i did have better means to do so as well back then as well.are well better late than never.

Firestix I think I might be the young guy here, but who knows maybe im wrong im only 25.

LOL ... yup ... as we say down south ... a young'en

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.

where I work at they call me the kid, heck im 38. But im the youngest there.
get the kid to do it, the kid can handle it, im tired give it to the kid, get the kid to carry that crap, sounds like a good job for the kid to do, ARGH!!

my son (26) believes in wearing out the old before using the new!

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!!!
