Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

My next door neighbor was feeling low when he turned 80. I told him that in five years from now, you'll wish that you were 80 again. Made him feel a lot better.
Connect 120V AC to somewhere tender via a foot switch. Hit the switch when you need to reach them high notes. I promise you'll make 'em!
P.S. Put a fuse in the circuit for added protection!
The sad truth about getting old.
In my heyday I always dreamed of being the big rock star, living the high life surrounded by scantily clad beautiful women..... it never happened. Or did it?
The good news:
I am now retired to the Philippines from the USA. I've been happily married to a beautiful lady (25 years my junior) for seven years.
She hired a housekeeper; 22 years old 5 foot tall brickhouse, long hair down to her... whose daily uniform is very short shorts and skin tight tank top. Waits on me hand and foot. Once or twice a week my wife's long legged 26 year old cousin who works in a beauty spa comes over and we put a mattress on the floor and she gives me a 1 1/2 hour massage. (No jokes about happy endings.)
My wife does does all this because she thinks I am "safe".
Now the bad news.....
I am.

Favorite line from an old game show ("To tell the truth." I think):
"What we used to do all night, now takes us all night to do."
"What we used to do all night, now takes us all night to do."
I told my brother I didn't want to live to be 100. He told me that I'd feel different about that at 99......
Especially if you hook the other end to somewhere where the sun don't shine!Connect 120V AC to somewhere tender via a foot switch. Hit the switch when you need to reach them high notes. I promise you'll make 'em!

Fine.
Going to paint #78 on my stack of Peavey amps dating back to 1978 and pretend to be nice for 6 hours.
(Thanks B-string)
6 hours!!!!!! That's way beyond the call of duty......In fact the constitution protects you from that . Sounds like "Cruel and unusual punishment" to me. 4 hours is plenty

Well, I'm going to be 53 in less than a month. I don't know if that counts as old, but I've come down with gout and that makes me grumpy as all get out. I thought that went out with Benjamin Franklin and flying kites in thunderstorms. Hey you, kid! Get offa my lawn. Why, if I could walk proper, I'd catch up with you and then….
