I often post advice about seeking out old geezers and listen to their stories for treasure hunting tips. It dawned on me one day that I am an old geezer! Maybe that's why it's easy for me to listen to their stories? I catch myself telling the same stories over and over and over and.....................well, you know. I was holding up pretty well until I turned 50 and now it seems my whole body has had an overhaul. I have more man made replacement parts than I can count! I have wire stents in my arteries, $40,000.00 worth of titanium in my back, some kind of artificial mesh in my aorta, gold, silver amalgum and porcelean in my teeth and now my hips and knees are trying to give out! At this rate I'll be the bionic old geezer by the time I am 70! Reminds me of what Mickey Mantle my....sob....childhood hero said, "If I'd known I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself"! The oldest any male has ever lived on either side of my family was 76, my Dad. And at 61 that ain't too far off. But maybe with all these man made spare parts I can break that record? I'm sure gonna try! A man in his late 60s was convicted of a crime and got a 25 year sentence. When asked by the judge if he had anything to say, he replied, " But judge, I'll never live long enough to do 25 years"! The judge retorted, "Just do all you can Mr. Smith"! That's me, I'll just do all I can! JIM
