I'm 50 and am currently recovering from my second hip replacement I got last week. Does that qualify me as an "Old Fart" or "Bionic Old Fart".

Welcome SpeedFreak5 Hope you heal up quick. 49 for just a few more days here. The older we get the longer it takes to heal. Had a bout with Food Poisoning last week and still not recovered 100%.:(

Thanks SSBUSDRVR, I forgot to mention that I just received my AARP card last month. Is that old fart confirmation or what? Funny, I don't feel that old. Especially when I'm driving my Camaro.

Gee, I hate comin' late to the party. Looks like the gang is all here. Sounds pretty lively.
LBM, the Spring Mountain Range is about 40 miles west of LV and about 10,000 feet up, where it routinely snows. There's even a small ski resort there. It seems that more and more frequetly we get some snow in the valley, mostly just a dusting in the foothills, but every now and then we get azz-whupped in some part of the valley. Sky Man, thanks for posting the Yves Rossy "Jet Man" Thread. You know the CowBell guy looks like a cousin to the the Geico Cave Man. Hope your 100% soon. Lighting, glad things weren't worse for you. You ready for the next salvo to hit by tomorrow or Sunday? We had some minor damage here (trees and branches) but nothing compared to UT or SoCal. Be safe! Hi Paul. Hi Chris, Hi Diane. Hi Freeman. Hi Sugar'n'Spice. Welcome SpeedFreak5 - hey, we replace worn out car parts - so, why not body parts? I have a 6" titanium plate and 9 screws holding my left humeral head together, so I'm not nearly as bionic a you. Hope you mend soon. (Humeral head? now that sounds disgusting!) Anybody besides me who doesn't have their holiday decorations up yet? Sunday is the day!

My plan is to decorate on Sunday as well - no Seahawks until Monday the 12th, so Sundays are wide open for now...

We got the tree up and decorated. I think that may be all we get to this year. My tax instructor says the final exam is going to be for us to do Santa's tax return. That ought to be fun. I think he runs a small business and has a vacation home in Florida.

I don't know that Santa's business is small - he's got a ton of international customers, and how many elves does he employ?? Gotta be more than 50 to handle all those orders...

So the SUV had a clogged radiator... It was constipated and needed an enema.
Being "forced" to take the camaro isn't a bad thing, but the drive home after work had me a little nervous. We had to stay late to do inventory, so didn't leave until well after 10pm. I get out to the car, and it's covered in ice. Of course, I have no ice scraper in the Camaro - she's my fair weather car! So I let her warm up until the windows were clear, not a big deal. But it was only 26 degrees out, and I still have the P Zeroes on No big problems, thank God, but the front end (yes FRONT end) got squirrely when I drove over a slick manhole cover. After that, I bet the people behind me were wondering why I was swerving around manhole covers the rest of the way home! I love Ladybug, and know she has great safety ratings, but unless I get some winter tires, I'll feel more comfortable when I get my SUV back, with it's 4WD and studded snow tires...

He only uses it for business one night a year - probably can't deduct much for the sleigh...

Jay, all this talk about Santa's taxes... It's going to be rather complicated, isn't it?
Sounds like you have a tough teacher!!!
