Where's my Geritol?

[James Waller]

Today I got one year older and am now at 62 and counting. Do I feel old? Not really, but unfortunately the pains remind me I ain't getting younger. I got the mind of a kid, but the body of an old man. Too bad it can't be the other way around. :)

Actually, I just had a normal day off. No gifts, no cake, no ice cream and no dancers.

As for a new tool, I don't even have the tools I had. I left Florida back in March and went back to Georgia and stayed with my Aunt for about 3 months. I left everything I had....drills, tablesaw, mitersaw, Kreg Jig, 47" tv, computer, PS3 and other stuff. I felt at the time we was heading into a situation where we would have to move as there was hardly any money coming in. So I just packed up my clothes and my fire-proof safe and left.

After 3 months with my Aunt we had a disagreement so I packed up my clothes and safe and left again with no where to go. I spend 8 days and nights in my car. I tried getting hold of my niece in LaGrange, GA but wasn't able to. I dialed a number on my phone and nephew answered and I told him what had happened and he said to come back to Florida. So that is where I am right now in Tampa, FL.

Some of the tools are here, but in my mind they don't belong to me anymore. I havn't built anything since February and with no shop and no money for wood, I probably won't built anything for a while.

But I enjoy coming here, looking at everyone's projects, reading the posts and helping out where I can.

Hi James, sorry I missed your birthday, so HAPPY BELATED BIRTH DAY, I dont want to hear that 62 is old, I still have a couple of years till I reach that age, but I do know all about the aches and pains. Like grunting or moaning everytime you sit or get out of a chair, at least working with wood helps to keep me young.

Hope you had a good day!
