Well sunshine: I have a good sixty years on you, I may not be as agile as you are (now) but I am as clear as a cloudy day.

You may call me Gramps:

I’m right there with Dordtrecht5,
You youngbloods keep on keeping on. Good to see young guys wanting to learn an age old craft and take pride in working with their hands. Don’t see much of that nowadays it seems.

Much to my own disappointment
