The Miracle Tank

My tongue in cheek humor sometimes gets me in trouble. I happen to be in my advanced years and certainly didn't mean to imply that you were being disrespectful. "Old man" is a wonderful term of endearment.

Advanced years are a good thing!

Advanced years are a good thing!

It sure as heck beats the alternative!

My youngest tells me I'm old just not grandpa old. It's good to know there's stages.

I’m still laughing at this!;Happy
I don’t think it would work in my house. Prunes and cotton candy moonshine just doesn’t do it for me.

61 is advanced years? I’ll be 58 in few months!;Woot;Woot;Woot

I think my left sock is about 61, I can't find my right sock.

I still like to drive too fast, listen to music too loud, and laugh like I'm 16.

I thought you were supposed to drive like that. I miss my Oldsmobile convertible and 8 track tape which I used to blast vintage Janis Joplin. (I still do)

Your moonshine and green paint comment reminded me of a moonshine story.
When I was in Viet Nam we had this big Red Neck guy from some back woods town named Amos.

For meals we would get C Rations which were meals in little cans and there was sometimes fruit cocktail in there.

Amos would collect these and ferment it in an ammo can out in the sun.

It would take the green paint off the inside of the can and mix with the stuff.
I only tasted it once and that was enough.
Sort of like paint thinner mixed with cat food.

He used to drink this stuff all the time. He was one of the few guys who was always happy.
Of course he is probably dead and pickled now in a jar in the Smithsonian.

Gotta raise a glass to anyone that could be happy in Vietnam. My former patrol partner did 2 tours. God bless anyone that survived.

I'm basically happy anywhere.
But I am much happier here than there.

In a little over a week, my tank will have reached 49 years old.

What are you painting ? Can't you take a paint chip and have it copied ? Benjamin Moore Paint is the best In my experience
