If they are old noe, they probably gre up during the depression and fought in WWII and/or Korea.
I was cahtting with an older gent the ohter day. He drove bombers out of Brittan, on of his stories was of coming back off his 63rd mission and having an engin out. Can't remember the bird he was in, but not a 17, which can land on one. Could have been a 26.
Up comes a P-51 Mustang from the escourt group.
51 "hey big brother, you got problems?"
Bomber "yeh, we lost an engine."
51 "hey, your better off then me, I don't have any!" Pops his canopy, does a 180 roll and bails out over the channel
I have had many elderly customers, I realized they would want to talk for a while, so my bids would reflect that extra time. Those clients that would regularly feed us, I just planned to have lunch brake on the property.
If I remember right, Wolfie is a buddy of Down to Earth. Kinda makes me feel sorry for DTE, if Wolfie is always this crotchety.
I won't call you names buddy, but I pray you don't become a lonely old codger with noone to talk to.
