You know, that's really nice, and all, but this is more my speed.
Sally is the same age me, she passes me up in November.
We are both old.
We sag, we do not bounce.

She has taken good care of herself. I don't think there is much sagging happening.

Some, but considering the miles, I'm in.

Thanks, but I've got a more fun solution.
When I took photo chemistry in college we had a really great professor. Someone mentioned (this was 1970 or so) about putting a match in front of an aerosol and the neat pyrotechnics. Back then, Freon was the main propellant used in aerosol cans. So he put the formula for Freon up on the blackboard and then reduced it as happens when you heat it too high. When you heat Freon one of the byproducts you get is phosgene nerve gas. That is why air conditioner fires were such a big deal back then.

A water pistol with petrol works too.

Tomorrow I get the cast off, and find out how the bone graft is working out.

Don't know if I get another cast for two weeks, or if I get the walking boot.

Either way, I just whipped out another artistic look inside my foot.

Good luck!

I must say, that K-1 X-ray mod works wonderfully. Much cooler than those IR mods people do all the time.

Break a leg!

How about chuck-eye steaks to go with a savoche potato?
Seared over my new Vortex frustum.
