Thanks guys starting to feel my age have slowed down a hell of a lot just don't have the energy that I used to have and spend more time resting than doing any exercise of any kind :( :(
I don't post much on the forum these days but I do go through and check all the posts a couple of times very day
The only other thing I would like is for someone else to join the admin group with Deeknow and take over my part of the financial side.

Happy birthday, my old Chum!.... :groupwave: ...!
You are always a year older than me...
I'm inching towards my 92nd Birthday, next March.... :unsure: ...!
...and like you, I'm definitely feeling my age now.
Weak, and skin and bone weighing in at a mere 133 Lbs (in old money).
A constant fear of falling.
"Gravity" is my worst enemy at the mo'.... :( ...!
After 75 years of daily motor cycling, and posting all my Travels on YouTube, I finally had to park up my faithful Daisy (1996 Honda CMX250C Rebel) in June 2025...
..cancelled the Vehicle Tax on her...and got a £12 rebate...
...so all was not lost!
We both wept... :( ... :( ...!
All this daily Microsoft Flight Simming, exploring the World (mostly the USA, and bits of New Zealand), since 1982, always keeps my mind active, and my legs exercising on the Rudder Pedals
I explore the countryside by air in my collection of Ultralights (fun aircraft), instead of on the ground on my motorcycle..... :plane: ....B-) .... :rockon: ...!
I suspect that falling in the bath and banging my head on the taps, while standing up to have a shower, will put an end to my days on Planet Earth.... :unsure: ....!
...so getting to my next birthday will be quite a challenge!
Doug...a tasty meal and a few tips of something quite nice now and again, will keep us both going!.... :cheers: ....!
...trust me!... :wink2: ... :wink2: ...!

Paul...in England...with Autumn on the way... :D ... :D ... :D ..!
