You may be expecting to still be able to buck winches until 2024 -- I'm

In 2024 I'll be 79. Trust me, in 2024 79 will not likely be the new

Gordy takes more poetic license than the average, sure! It took him
five years of posting me to be able to spell Hawaii as J A P A N !! He

We'll be at the contest on Sunday. If anyone needs directions, let me know

See you all there!
