Not meant to be funny... Truely, an honest question. I really have no idea how old you are. And, I'm finding it harder and harder to guess people's ages too. My neighbor is 88 years old and is so unbelievably fit it's unreal! He did have a "small" heart attack a few months ago, but he was out waxing the mini van yesterday! Yard always spotless and well kept. Our last snow was the first time I've ever seen anyone but him clean his drive! It was his son that lives next to him, but apparently,...he hadn't done a "good enough" job, because Paul was out there after he'd went home,...finishing the job. The guy truely amazes me when I think my Grandpa is roughly the same age. Living in a nursing home with a completely failing body. So, I was thinking, ...you must be like my neighbor, but apparently I missed the "80" joke. Sorry.

Yeah, it was a "joke", like "nose hair" jokes.
It's no secret, I'm 71, (I think) and smugly believe that I am doing fairly well for that stage of life.
Ah shit, I just missed a great shot of that B24! Right over the house, this time!
Good hunting. El Bee

So Vic, did you secretly hunt coyotes in Tucson when the family was distracted?

Vic, you don't have to answer that question!
He was (I think) born and raised in a log cabin, in Tucson. I think he might know a spot or two, but did he hunt? We might never know the answer.

LB, Don't feel too bad, heck mt brothers sorta stepson asked my dad if he knew Abe Lincoln. He was about maybe 10 years old at the time and was serious.
You need to get one of them Batman spotlights for the sky, except put a big V in it, then whenever you want Vic to contact you, just shine the spotlight. [ January 12, 2014, 02:41 PM: Message edited by: DanS ]

The most reliable method is starting a topic on the Board, in CAPS, with his name on it. Yeah, works just like the Batman Spotlight. Not guaranteed, but when you have nothing to lose, might as well try it.
Vic told me he reads the Board every day, but his provider charges him per keystroke, so he is very frugal and to the point. That's why he doesn't even use periods at the end of a sentence; he'd rather spend the money on guns.
That bomber has flown directly over the house three times while I have been typing this. I still don't have a really good pic?

I used to have a boss that always said:
"I'm not as good as I once was."
"But, I'm as good once, as I ever was."
I have come to appreciate that sentiment.

Long conversation with our Senior Guru, Victor Carlson, last night.
Talked about a lot of things, and gossiped about a few of the HM personalities we all know and love. Talked about Tim, the Okie boys, Paul and Fred, and guns and hunting, Florida fishing, tortoises, plumaria, health issues, well problems, commodes, revolvers, chores and family, grandkids, wives and girl friends.
Bottom line, he has much to do before heading for home on Friday.
So.....I guess I will go visit my main squeeze for a few days. Don't get excited, it's just for the home cooking and the companionship. Got to be careful with the old ticker, you know?
Good hunting. El Bee
