Still going..... 75yrs less than a month away
I did not realize how long it had been since I had posted anything here. So its time for a bit of an update. In less than a month I will have a 75th birthday..... I never thought I'd be here this long, although my Dad made it all the way to 91 yrs and still lived on his own. This man did not have a gray hair on his head..Still black. not quite as thick as it once was but still a full head of hair. Me,totaly grey with a ponytail more than halfway down my back. A bit thinner but not by much. …See More

Alcoa employee knife
"I remember seeing a Buck 110 that had Alcoa Aluminum on the blade and the persons name etched on one of the scales..... and that was back in the mid 90's. I do not remember the persons name. It was a collectors item to me. I was never able to…"

I also think keeping the marks and scars on a well loved knife is the way to keep it. Keep the blade sharp and…"
Still here
It's been a while since I've posted on this. So I figure its time for an update. Still kicking but not near as high, more heart issues. My Dr's have discovered a leaky heart valve. As they stated nothing to worry about as its minor. However in my profesion as an Auto service tech for quite a number of years. When a problem is found it is usually recommended to fix it. A bad/leaky valve cause's a decrease in performance and other possible issues on an Auto and the Heart is you might say is…See More

She's been asking me to come stay for a week or so and I finally did.
I moved to a small town called Glenwood, its about 35 miles east of Hot Springs. A 6 hour drive I did not enjoy as it was hot and I got really tired towards the end of…
