    Take my advice fellas

    As we're turning 15 getting close to 60...if you take a break from flying for heavens sake write down on some paper how to setup things again and don't put the sheet of paper where it's handy because stuffed away somewhere handy means it's lost forever. Tape it to the wall in front of you!.

    The amount of time it takes me to put something down and completely lose it was down to about 10 seconds; that time has shrunk since I hit 65. Everything they tell you about getting old is true, but it's worse than you think.

    Re: Take my advice fellas

    Reminds me of the story of two old guys who love to play golf, but unfortunately they cannot see very well anymore.
    So they go to a third friend who still has his clear eyesight, and take him along so he can spot the ball for them if they lose it.
    After a few shots, the ball goes off, so they ask their friend: did you see the ball?
    Yes he says.
    So where is it?
    Er.. I forgot

    Of the two options , getting old is the best after all.
    Best thing about getting older is the amount of things being important has become so much lesser than before.
    And your allowed to be a fool, at some point it became charming

    If you waited until you were old to give that life choice a crack you have a LOT of catching up to do.

    There is something I wanted to say but I can’t remember what.
    So I’ll just say nothing.

    True story: Back in the ‘50’s my Dad figured it’d be a good idea to start life insurance policies on him, Mom, and a young growing family. The young insurance agent was nonplussed when Dad gave Cause Of Death of his Dad as “Old Age”. The agent protested - “Old age is not a cause of death; it has to be something definable like cancer, stroke, cardiac arrest, or car accident...things like that!”.

    Dad thought for a moment, then replied, “Well, I grew up in a small mining town called Wallaroo Mines in South Australia. We had no electricity, no phones, and we were a day’s drive north of Adelaide. Given the dirt roads of the day, no one was going to fetch a doctor from the city for an old man who died in his sleep. We just gave him a funeral in our Methodist Church and buried him in the family plot!”

    The young agent wasn’t satisfied. He needed SOMETHING to put on the insurance form. Dad thought some more, then offered this: “We don’t know the exact cause of death, but I can assure you that it was nothing serious!”

    Having said all that, I'll still take old age over the alternative.
