    No way you're not too old. Your generation is one of the last of men's men. Masculinity is a dying breed and I guarantee you wouldn't think twice about some of the stuff guys my age group (upper 20's, flirting with 30) and younger complain about.

    @audeygdad, no matter what happens with you and McElroy, you have my respect. Tough old DRATSABs, who still have that fight in the old dog, I salute you.

    Your age is not an issue if you're in good shape, especially for flatbed. McElroy has a pretty good agility test. Good Luck

    Absolutely man. Unbelievable what some of those fine men went thru. Thanks to their bravery and sacrifice we are able to have our way of life today, and able to reach out to others on forums like TTR. Greatest Generation hands down. A well deserved title for those outstanding men and women.
