    Happy 50th to me!

    Well, I made it to 50. I know that's not old by the standards of many here, but it seems significant to me. When I turned 40, odds seemed good I'd hit 80 (still do) so it didn't really phase me. Not too confident I'll make it to 100, so I guess its dawned on me its likely at least half over.

    I'm on vacation, so I think I'll hit the range. Bought myself a Remington 572 .22 pump for a present. I know its nothing fancy, its more of a nostalgia thing. I love Remington pumps, I have 5 870s (all 5 gauges) and a 760 in .30-06, so it just seems I needed one of these.

    Plus, I'm so old and feeble I can't handle too much recoil anymore

    Happy Birthday. I'll be 56 this month. I hate to tell you this but at about 54 the body starts to tell you something. Coogs.

    Happy B'day, your only 50? I was 50 once, didn't last very long.

    Happy Birthday!! I'll reach my 50th(anniversary) later this year. Doubt that we will celebrate the same way as our 25th. Don't read anything into that. I was almost 50 years old that year.

    Happy half century to you. Some would rule that you are now an antique! Either way, Happy Birthday!

    Half a century. Wow that's getting old.
    Another two and a half years and I'll hit the three quarter century mark.

    Life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer you get to the end, the faster it goes.

    Enjoy life!
