Yes, Matt, but those non-OEM are proof the mental age is getting closer to they physical.

Half a century! I waited a while to post to see if there were any older but I guess not... Fracktured @ 49 must be the closest, so I must be the alpha... I know what some of you are thinkin', oldest doesn't necessarily designate the alpha, but I'm still lean, mean, and feelin' 18! LOL!

Remember boys, the only alternative to growing old is dying young... You'll be there someday (hopefully) and it will fly by catching you by surprise wondering where the decades have gone...


BR,
Jamie
