Litter is cleaned up & brush around the buildings cleared. Burning it now as I sit typing besides the fire. Sho…

    40 was the one that hit me hard. With no warning I woke up with the flue on my birthday. Body aches, headache, etc. I recall thinking that everyone said it's all downhill once you hit 40. Just didn't think they ment THE day.

    Quote from CoachLou: “Quote from Astro: “Used to have an Old Timer and Uncle Henry. Not for sure where they are now.

I have been keeping it sharp since I bought it in 1981...... ” A dull knife is a dangerous one! In theroy I try to keep mine razor sharp. A sure sign of when been touching uo my knives is when my left arm is hairless.
