How to get a 198 lb bandsaw off the truck?

[bridger]

holy shit! I'm *that* much older than you?

[Norman D. Crow]

Darn infants! Born 11/10/36

[jo4hn]

Hey, hey, hey!! You're exactly 30 years younger than the Marine Corps - to the day!! ;-)

mahalo, jo4hn

p.s. and exactly 10 years older than Maggy, but don't tell her I told...

I didn't remember the age of the Marine Corps, but I knew it was the same birthday. When I was on the USS Salem, we had a contingent of Marines as the Admirals Guard(6th fleet flagship). I got to know some of them, and due to my birthday, got pretty close(able to sneak extra time in the tailor shop to press uniforms & so on when they had their hours, etc.) Pulled liberty with a bunch of them on my 21st in Beirut, didn't have to buy a drink all night.

Crikey Nahmie, you're nearly an oxygenarian!

Or until you start driving a truck for a living. My arms and legs are in GREAT shape, but my belly not so much. I can't lose it either. I've been watching what I eat and keeping my activity level up for years, and it isn't coming off. At least I'm not gaining.

Or I wasn't gaining until my wife's troubles started. I can't really say that anymore. I've put on 20 pounds, and not because of holiday eating.

Nah. I guess not. No use.

Yeah, I know, but this isn't a good time for me to be cynical Larry.

[Silvan]

Yeah, probably. My *dad* is 54. I'm 32, I guess. My wife is 36. Cradle robber.

[Silvan]

You're not old enough to be my grandfather, so I guess you're not a geezer.

Hint: it wasn't *19*06 to which jo4hn was referring. ;-)

But by way of trivia, it wasn't '06 in any century. The Marines were formed by act of the Second Continental Congress on 10 November 1775.

FWIW, I met a fellow a while back who dated Raquel Welch (not just his tale--several other people I knew had seen them together). That was pretty much his assessment of her.

Hope all goes or went well.

[Silvan]

Yeah, yeah, I dated Raquel Welch. That's the ticket.

(I guess most of you won't get that. I was talking to some of my wife's relations who are roughly the same age I am. None of us have any idea what's going on with SNL anymore, and since that was a SNL reference from my youth, you geezers probably have nary a clue what I'm yammering about. Oh well.)

I stand corrected. It was only 24 years younger. ;-) j4

Lee...

I seem to recall, however, that it took you nearly a month to recruit those warm bodies, while your jointer languished -- lovely word, languished -- in the back of said van. I think I even read about it somewhere.
