Just turned 69 last Sunday the 24th. Never really thought I would make it to 40. Now, I'm half a century plus nearly two decades. Where did all that time go?

I am 58. This picture was taken 2 years ago. I don't seem to have many pictures of myself. My wife of 36 years passed away last month. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/MGs0d036/IMG-3390.jpg) A beautiful picture of a couple obviously in love. I am very sorry for your loss.

I will be 72 the end of October. 6 months clear of bone cancer. Still spend October in the Upper Peninsula chasseing grouse and woodcock. I do a Quail hunt in Georgia each year and shoot sporting clays competitively with SXS shotguns mostly Parker's.
I'm a gun loonie in the first order, rifles, shotguns and old S&W's. I especially like custom rifles both bolt guns and single shots. I have failed the 12 step program so many times I can't count them. I also enjoy a fine cigar and a good bourbon as well. I deer hunt from November 15 through January 1 (pneumonia
side lined me quite a bit this year) and take a different rifle most every day. There are 5 new additions to the rifle line up looking for the big one next season.

78 and fast approaching 79, killed my first deer in 61, elk in 65, last elk in 2023. I am a daily hiker averaging over 3 miles a day and I believe that helps my fitness and longevity. Hoping to get a few more seasons in before my times runs out.

I'll be 62 in a couple months. Don't have many field pics since I mostly hunt solo but here is one a couple years ago. ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/xq70/924/ZAN0y7.jpg) Nice Solo!

In the spirit of Tool Time's Wilson. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/qvCQdWBm/Elk.jpg) Seventy-six to date and having a tough time getting my buddies out for hunting and fishing. Seems there are more solo experiences now, but I can still get the drift boat down the river, feel lucky, and have no complaints. Every experience could be the last time, but I'd sure like to get in another 20 years or so. Still a lot of crap I want to do. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/Dw5qzkcH/Charlotte.jpg) I had titled this one "Turn around damn it." Cookie, above and out of focus, is seventy-one, and we've spent 52 of those years together. She just got a new hip/knee, mirrorless camera, and has some bigger lenses on the way. More years and experience around here than I suspected and mostly a fine bunch. Wish we were all a bit closer, as I'm sure there are some great stories to be heard.

Not quite as old as Ingwe. People told me I was crazy to head off into the woods with this guy, knowing he had a gun!

Heck, Jack Benny was 39 for 40 years.. so why can't the rest of be that also?
