Happy birthday!
Remember that you are just middle age if you live to be 110!

One foot on the brake and one on the gas seems to be one heck of a way to live though....

Happy birthday.

The speed limit around here is 70 or 75 depending on the road. In Texas they have some 85 MPH speed Limits

Thanks guys. The Mrs. made a wonderful dinner for me. Roasted rack of lamb, asparagus, resotto (sp?), strawberry/marrion berry pie, some awesome champagne, and wine. I let the fat man out last night.
Miss Olive got some tidbits too.

Stay off the rev limiter, and you will be fine.

Happy birthday!

I've been driving 55 since September. Feel the same at 45...Well, except this year I had a toenail pulled, sinus surgery, was told I have arthritis in my hip...Uh, wait...on second thought, 55 is WAY worse than 45.
