Yep, nice to meet you Greg.
I'm 72 but I was never fast so I haven't lost anything...

Yea Dan, when I  die, who gets my parts and 2 FJ's? My kids don't want them.
I guess my wife would sell them here on the forum... they gotta go to a good home. In the meantime, I ain't going anywhere, except for a long ride...

Remember when you were in your early 20s...you'd wake up and ask yourself "I wonder what I will do today?".  Now in my 60s, I wake up (much earlier than I did in my 20s mind you) and ask "How am I going to get everything done today?".  Life has become very busy.  There's reminder notes written all over the calendar, a telephone with non stop text messages from customers, and email.  Because I don't have a time machine that's operational, and my FJ is jammed up in the back of the garage, and think I need to take the dog for a long walk.  My late father always joked that getting older meant getting busier.  I thought he was joking.

^^^so true^^^
I used to work 60 hours a week and I still managed to get my chores done and have time for all the fun things too.
Now that I'm retired I'm lucky to something done each day and "projects" are lined up to never be completed.   :dash2:

Right?  Now if I could only find where I put that flux capacitor for my time machine...maybe it's in one of these old FJ air boxes here? :Facepalm:

Fuck the flux capacitor, I'm still looking for that pesky 10mm socket.
I spend more time looking for my misplaced tools than doing the job...
No worries Papa, my kids say, it will get better...
I dunno...

Pat, I looked in the pile of air boxes...no Flux capacitors, but I located 3 10mm sockets!  Thanks for the tip.  Seriously, I must have a dozen 10 mm sockets scattered around here somewhere.
