My mate wore herself out christmas shopping, and tree and other decorating, for what? After my first one died, my son asked if I was going to decorate for Xmas, I said yes, I'll leave the beer cans on the table. My second one died in mid december, she had me move all the decorationed out of the shed and get ready for the decorating.they sat there till march. But here we go again, I know why I'm a hum bug. You want some good advice DONT GET OLD
Sorry to hear that............

Old age is a bitch. I only hope to be up and around when I'm 60-70 . Hell I took a 75 yr old dude to Canada this past year.

GREAT guy, but you never know. He was one of the very first to go up there some 30+ years ago, and when he asked one of the senior members of our group about going, there was no question we'd figure a way.

He did GREAT, pulled his own weight and was fantastic around camp. **** thing, he blew out his hip crossing the street in Virginia, MN when we came out of the park........

5 miles of tough billygoat portages didn't phase him, but a quick step across traffic done him it. I was sure that when I saw him, he'd been hit by a car....scared the TAR out of me and everyone else.

When we talked about taking him to the hospital he said "get my ass in the car, and I will worry about a hospital in Louisville. I don't want to see no **** doctor in Minnesota. I want to see my own **** doctor............."

Like I said....tough old dude.....Probably could whip all our asses.

Later,
