What's good about getting older?
« on: April 03, 2016, 07:26:09 PM »
It's better than the alternative  :cup:

Not caring what you look like so you where the most comfortable cheap clothing.

Running whatever tyres you think will do the job.

The memories get better :
The fish were bigger,
the girls were - well, you know ................
Mountains were taller,
4wd trips were more of an adventure,
the roo shooting was amazing,

Ah yeah, the older I get, the better I was.

Finally having the time and hopefully a little money to enjoy the adventure of travelling around our big country.  I am counting the days until the big retirement day and then we will be off......

Hmmm
What a coincident thread to have posted.
Clocked over half a century, Easter Sunday  8)
Spent the weekend at Levuka with good people  :cup:
Last Saturday evening spent the evening around a camp fire in the backyard with good people.
I think I'm going to surround myself with Good people.
