    Yeah, I'll just keep on truckin'.

    By the way Bumpy, everytime I see your signature it cracks me up. That's something you would see around the area i live in.

    Oooh...I love being the old bag in a group. I get to say things like, "When I was your age..." and "Humor me. I'm old and set in my ways."

    I get to fart in public....unapologetically.

    I get to eat as much as I want to.

    I get to give "the look" to boys with their pants around their ankles and girls who wear their clothes so they look like a half-opened can of Pillsbury biscuits.

    This is fun!

    16 vehicles in 6 years?? Dang, that's like one every 5 months. You really should check the oil more often. :biggrin_2559:

    You don't have to be old to do this. You can be a good ole boy from texas who towers over most people and can have an awful look on your face when you are disqusted by someone.

    Helps to have physical traits to skeer the tar out of someone...

    Btw...my wife says I'm nothing but an overgrown teddy bear.
