You can say, as sings Joan Manuel Serrat:
Fa vint anys que tinc vint anys
( I have been having twenty years for twenty years )

You wait until fifty. Hair grows from places where it never used too, but stops growing from places where it should. Joints that were soft become
stiff and bits in the lower regions that used to become stiff stay soft. Oh well at least the bloody kids are slowly leaving home. Barry

lower members of the body no longer get so stiff. Oh well at least the kids are slowly leaving home. Barry

Happy Birthday Dave,
I'm trying to help too - but seem to be hindering after my last cock up...
As I said last night - get it on the road then think about selling it!
I keep thinking of selling mine to fund other projects but when I take a blast out it brings me to my senses.
Cheers

Happy Birthday...
Dont WASTE your time / life.
I'm 54 pushing 55.
I can't retire, one lad in 2nd year at uni, the outher just announced he wants a foundation year before going to uni.
Cant afford to retire yet
Oh Well... the Viento IS my Mid Life Crisis. (Well built from the crisis!)
Get on and do things and go places... You may not be able to later.
My dad was in a wheelchair at 35 with Multiple Sclerosis.
My Father in law had to retire early (Haematomochrosis) and cant do much and is almost blind.
Oh.. me.. I had Guillian Barre Syndrome 13 years ago, and never really recovered from it. Well not fully.
http://www.gbs.org.uk for those that may be interested. I breathed in toxic / blue green Algae from pressure washing my drive. So wear a facemask if
using one of these evil tools. You dont know what your throwing up in the water mist, and then breathing in.
Rare case, I grant you, but has buggerd me up for the last 13 years.
Life can throw some right shitty stuff at you. So do what you can as soon as you can.
That goes for ALL of you reading this.
Dont wait until its too late.
Hope all is OK for your day.
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
Best Regards
Geoff
