Wow, I thought I was old. 1st Gp 89-92. The guys from the 60's really had it rough, no parachutes just tuck and roll. Had to feed your horses and maintain your slings and arrows. I am impressed.

Shucks, and I thought I was hittin the top 5% agewise at least 
Looks like he may have almost a decade on me, but I still may have him beat if we measure "decrepit" instead of purely age. I was a dirty old man before I was 19
I gotta get a .sig line.......................
