Nope – one guy has a UK, which he sometimes uses in the summer at BBQ’s

We do try…. Can’t hit a home run every year, but as I sit here at the keyboard, without moving from my chair, I see seven things from years past. A rear-view mirror mounted on my monitor, a day clock (no numbers just days of the week), a relative strength meter, cigar humidor, framed working tools, special “twisted” coffee cup, and a book of kells, and that’s just without moving. Not much value when I leave, but priceless for me. To me the most important thing is the fun times we have together!

We also have a bottle of very good scotch in a tontine, that I hope not to taste.

Old age does strange things to some.
