Thank you, fubar61, for being one month older than I, and to tabinha for being older than both of us. To Gonzo: Don't fool yourself. After 37 years of firefighting, I've only seen a very few that didn't fall a long way once they turned 50. The job is just too hard physically. Do as I did and get your promotions and you'll last longer.
To the rest: I'm glad to see that all you young fellows enjoying a good hobby. I myself hated washing and waxing a car when I was your age. Things are much different today.
