HAPPY BIRTHDAY CBT!  For sure, Iddee would know when someone is getting old.  :)

Thank you all so much. You start to feel a little old when you bury a friend in the morning then get senior discount for lunch when I didn't ask for it. On the upside I can now retire with 40 years service. Think I'll burn some vacation and go to the old thrashers reunion at dentonfarmpark.com.this Friday. Then work one day and go to the NC state beekeepers conference. When retirement day comes I'll tell you what type work I do. Till then you can guess. 8) ;D ;D ;D

If you decide to not work Saturday, you can come up and help me with a cutout. The guy says they have been there 5 plus years.  8)

Maybe not an antique, but how about a classic? :)
40 years at the same job? Wow, you don't see that much anymore.

I'll be on a boat fishing Friday, 6 mile from the Threshers. There's room for one more, and we don't charge 20.00 for admission.  ;D

Then you could come to the cutout Sat. and still spend 3 days at the reunion. In 90 degree weather you won't spend a lot of time there anyway.

I'm an antique engine collector and exhibitor so that's my pass in. It's not too hot under the trees where we are. If you do come call my cell phone. I'll go home at night and sleep in the AC ;D

 :)  Happy Birthday CBT.  My pass into most threshing shows is my '17 Ford.  If nothing else it cuts the cost by one participant.

Happy Birthday CBT.  Iddee is comparing himself to an antique, and that may be the case, but I want to remind you antique collectors that there is often a very thin line between being an antique or just being old junk.  :):)  Hey CBT, have a nice birthday and hopefully many, many more.

Yep, you can call it old iron, but in my case, you would likely call it hit-and-miss.   :D
