    I could have sworn he was closer to the century mark.. Well, he certainly makes it sound like he was round for the invention of dirt.

    Hope you had a great day Fred!!

                          Hi Guys,
                          thanks for noticing. My wife arranged a backyard BBQ, the weather cooperated and the party wound down about sunset.
                          My wife also bought me a generic replacement speedo for my BSA.
                          My son, being only engaged, said "That won't work"
                          Myself, being more experienced, said "Thenk you my love, that's just what I needed, I will make it work"
                          And not for the original dirt, no.
                          For the improved modern dirt, maybe.
