Ok....29 isn't exactly accurate. Let's go with 39.................

How about 71!! I got up this morning and promptly told my wife...."Geez, I don't feel a day older than 70." She had the gall to inform me that I was hitting 71 years old at 10:46 AM this very morning. What a bummer!!!! Women sure know how to spoil a guys birthday.

Anyway....I'm alive and well and that's what counts. I still was able to shovel 4 inches of new snow this morning...which puts us at 134 inches for this winter.....and I wasn't even breathing hard. For awhile there I wasn't sure if I was breathing at all.

I've come to the conclusion that winter sucks. Jeez...it's April 3rd and I'm still shoveling snow. My brother-in-laws home in Sun City West AZ looks more inviting by the day. The house next door to his is for sale and if I have enough Jack Daniels I'm going to put an offer in for it. Maybe Donna would not notice this until I tell her...."Hey, Sweetie, guess what!! We're moving to Phoenix.......tomorrow."

Anyway....I made it to 71 and only have 25 more years to go to outlast my Mother.

happy birthday old geezer. Glad to share this day with you. My anniversary. Well my wife's too. Move south. If you sell the house she will have to pack her china and follow you.

wishing you MANY MANY MORE terrific birthdays!

What a child. Man was already pumping his mulch and dirt into his vehicle when I showed up to help. 90 BAGS OF MULCH 10 bags of dirt. He loaded most of the mulch because I was busy loading the rest of you lazy motherfuckers (generalizing) . He looked good, but I bet that got him quite close tdeath. I'm good with that, I will not be loading him next year. You cheap mother fuckers load your own shit or stay away from Home Depot or Lowes .

We are not staffed for the laziness of you.
