Jim Burns is An Old Man Today

Thanks all.... actually my birthday isn't until the 19th, but this was the
closest opportunity for my wife to get everybody together so they could
abuse me.

Ahem. (tap-tap-tap --- Is this thing on...?)

Just an FYI to all of you rec.aviation regulars out the Jim Burns
turns
the big FOUR-OH today, in Steven's Point, WI, U.S.A.

(His wife, Tami, promised him that we'd keep it quiet...)

:-)

Unfortunately, 1/8 mile vis with freezing rain and snow has kept us from
attending his surprise party today -- but perhaps you will all join us in
tipping a cold one in the general direction of Wisconsin for "old" Jim!

:-)

That's what I'm afraid of!

Thanks for calling, sorry if I couldn't hear you too good, people in the
background were rather loud.

But 40 isn't old any more.

Yeah, I used to think 40 was "half way to dead", but people are living
longer. Now, 40 is almost like "half way to retirement".

Actually, I think my wife thinks more about turning 40 than I ever did.

I just turned 60. Young girls* look just as good today as
they did to me 45 years ago and I'm just as afraid of them
now as I was then. -


I still feel just like I was 15 too. I used to ride horses
and wrangle a few. I now feel like I was just thrown and
stomped every morning when I drag may carc ass out of bed.

* of legal age


I plan on buying my red sports car and a Harley someday.

Just remember the tell ATC that your old. You know like when you were a student,
you told the you were a student. Them they won't give you squawk, altitude, and
frequency all in one transmission. Too hard to remember all that information at
one time.
