I reached the 3/4 centry mark today (75 yrs. old), i would have bet money i wouldn't see it but i oviously have.
I just wish i could still do the things that i could do 20 yrs. ago, or even 10 yrs. ago without getting tired easier.
10 Yrs ago i was standing in front of a CNC lathe or CNC mill for 8 to 12 hrs a day without getting tired.
On the good side i still feel good and still have my NHRA lic. and looking forward to some warm weather and racing this summer.

Zip.

Thanks guys i appreciate all your friendship, and RJ is the only forum i'm ever on. It never ceases to amaze me how much experience and knowledge that the regulars here on the forum has. Someone of us has done it or experienced the problems that go alone with building and racing, whatever engines we run. In the last 8 trs. i've been on the forum i've learned a wealth of imformation from the contributors and i hope that some of my experiences has helped others.

Again thanks to all i consider my friends for life, ever how long that will be, i wish i could meet all of you in person, and i have met a few.
