The good and the bad

[Rebbasser]

Well, boys, I probably shouldn't admit this, but I recently hit the big 5-0. That kind of sucks, although I was kind of surprised I made it that far. Like most if not all of us I did enough dumb things that I could very easily been dead a long time ago. For you young guys if you haven't done any or many of those you will.

Anyway, when my wife turned 50 last year-I really gave her a hard time, and I can testify that what they say about paybacks are true-she got a new car. Well, the good part is we agreed that I could get a new truck. My truck was 10 years old, so last Saturday I traded it in on a brand new 4WD Ford F-150 Lariat, white with gold trim-it matches the boat. I went with a 4WD not for off roading, but for getting from the bottom of a slick ramp to the top. Haven't towed the boat yet, but that will happen real soon.

I can't turn back the clock, but it kind of eases the pain!
