Well here I am

Happy birthday to me...lol Just turned 50 today and thought I'd come over here to say hi to all the other 50 plus, I don't feel much different then I did when I turned 40 so I'm heading out for ride to find some 20 somethings and kick their butts!
Take care
Dwayne

This 50 thing is spreading like a disease. It seems like everyone is catching it.

Getting older.

Virtually everybody is trying to do it and yet, they act so - disappointed as it happens. Just remember youth, strength and skill is no match for old age, experience and treachery. Never has been and never will.

Welcome!
Actually only the lucky ones catch it.

To the OP: Welcome and enjoy the ride.
