I can tell you this about Wrench, he is not aging as well as a fine French wine.

             Are you telling us he has turned to vinegar or went sour? :)  Maybe just from a bad bunch of grapes?

I remember '69, the year I was a ranch hand in northern Nevada, dark to dark  on horseback and town once or twice a month. Went in the Navy in '70 after the lottery ... Had our 50th wedding anniversary last week. I have forgotten more than I know, but can still recall the important things, so I guess I'm not quite old yet, but I'm gettin there a day at a time.

         Congrats to you and your bride. We are not far behind you.

Oh I'm just going through an adjustment period, I think. 

Surely you OLDER guys remember the day when you began to realize you needed to stop leaping out of truck beds and trailered boats by just jumping over the side, and that hurdling porch rails and fences was becoming a crap shoot......

Well that's where I'm at currently.   My mind says GO! but my body says WOAH! 

There's a bit of depression to fight off...... but I'll win the battle. 👍

       Yep, know that feeling now.  I notice when I do something stupid, I do not recover as fast as I used to.

Getting back to the old flies that used to be hot at Bennett, I recall there was one called an Army Worm.  It was a very simple tie using a strand of wool from an old army sock.  It was tapered in the front and thick in the center.
