When you first said you were in the UK, I thought that might be a problem, but when you said you were Welsh, I then knew things would be alright.
 Welcome!

Hi and Welcome,
I'm an old f__t also, 67, and just picked up this computer thing a few years ago. I also just do it for fun, and, enjoy it immensely. It's great when the grandkids say it's broke, but grandpa can fix if. Dale |

Ahh, isn't that the way it used to be in the good old days, before kids started assuming they were so smart?

'Only' 77? That's pretty darned good for a fellow Texan! I still have my motorcycle driver's license, which is required out here and still am forced to take their test at renewal each time, but I haven't been on a bike in 30 years, maybe 28, when I gave up desert racing. We are obviously blessed with good health. I'd still be hunting if there was something I craved in the back country, but I've done it all and am thankful to have been blessed with good health. Peace!
