I cheated death one more time!
 
Today I am 58 years old. I honestly didn't think I would make it this far. I'm hangin' in there with Keith Richards.

Think I'll go bust some clays today.

I turn 50 on Wednesday.
50 trips around the sun is makin' me tired.

Happy birthday!

targa911S 01-05-2009 06:19 AM

Actually my 50's have been great. You wake up one day and just don't care what anyone thinks. I think I'll wear mismatched plaids today. Or maybe black sox and sandals.

Thanks for the morning laugh. That's great.

Happy Bday! Keep hanging in there. I'm only a couple years behind ya. The other day I sneezed and think I separated a muscle on my left ribcage. Agony since, but it's finally feeling a little better this morning. Now I'm afraid to cough, sneeze, fart, or have any fun at all. ;)

Same here but about 6 years older than you.

Happy B-Day Targa and hope we all have many more in our future!

Happy Birthday T-Bird!

targa911S 01-05-2009 07:47 AM

Thanks Jeremy. I miss you and the gang. Hope all is well in the sunshine.

Zeke 01-05-2009 07:57 AM

Happy B-day. I don't think you cheated death by living to age 58, but I don't know your past. If just living were the criterion, with all the crap that I've been exposed to, I've cheated death 5 more years than you.

However, if you've really cheated death, you shiver each time you think about it. With about 3 occasions, I shiver visibly. One day I won't be so lucky.

ruf-porsche 01-05-2009 08:04 AM

Happy Birthday, go get yourself a chili dog and a beer, put it on my tab.

cgarr 01-05-2009 08:07 AM

58 is the new 38 I will then be 30 next month!

now that IS a good idea! 100 rounds at the clays, chili dog and fries, with a shake, beginning to stack up as a nice day. No beer for me thanks, been sober 25 years.

Hugh R 01-05-2009 08:13 AM

Happy B-Day, my 55th is coming up at the end of the month. I should go skeet shooitng as well.

targa911S 01-05-2009 08:16 AM

Come on over Hugh. Skeet makes me think I am blind. I can't hit squat at skeet. Trap is my thing, but maybe you can help me with that.

Heel n Toe 01-05-2009 10:00 AM

Happy Birthday.

I turned 57 about 4 months ago. Sometime soon, tell me what I have to look forward to.

Thanks guys and ladies. What do you have to look forward to? Hurting. Everyday. I'm paying for my youth.

JavaBrewer 01-05-2009 11:19 AM

I'll be 47 this year and I've been physically hurting for years now. Ghosts of injuries past coming back to haunt me big time. I can't imagine what 57 will be like...

Happy Birthday!

HardDrive 01-05-2009 11:20 AM

Looks like we have the same birthday old man.

Hats off to you.

Prostrate screening, colonoscopy, anything they can stick up your a$$. No salt diet, no drinking, no smoking, sex only if you're healthy enough or have viagra. It's tough getting old.

Shaun @ Tru6 01-05-2009 05:13 PM

Happy Birthday David and best wishes for a great 2009!

targa911S 01-05-2009 05:22 PM

Thanks Shaun. Hope you have a great 09 yourself.

Sad ....but true.

CONGRATS on 58.

i echo your sediments(sendiments) sedimentals(settlements).............

especially about waking up and not giving a rats ass what anyone thinks about you or yer socks.

god im gonna be 52 and have seen the stones wayyyyyy tooo many times!

KarlCarrera 01-05-2009 05:31 PM

Happy Birthday! I made it to 52 with all the checks (all).
The doctors do seem very concerned with my a** all of the sudden, but all they could find was that I needed to drop about 30 lbs.
When I exercise the car, and do 12 oz curls doesn't that count?

Well I made it through the day. Thanks to all for helping me celebrate. Mj was down with the flu all day so ya'll were my party today. I had a nice day. Took Buddy and puppy Jack out to the club and busted some clay. Went to Mac D's to share lunch with same dogs. Came home got a good nap, also with same dogs. Watching Ohio State beat Texas also with same dogs. Life is good.

Atta boy, glad you had a good day!
I am a few years behind you, but there seems to be a shortage of days that I really feel good (physically).

Vern Lyle 01-05-2009 08:06 PM

Happy Birthday YOUNG man! I've got about 10 years on you and everything is still working - well, almost - you can't have everything.

And writing my autobiography, I documented 11 instances of cheating death/serious injury. None of them in wartime. Nightmares? Fer sure.

Didn't mean to highjack. Just be careful, but enjoy every day.
