Default Happy Birthday to the youngest old man I know

Happy Birthday Joe Lapin
You are definitely an old dude that is in the best shape I have ever seen
Enjoy your th birthday, I wish you all the best in the coming year, lots of track time, great s*x and a new set of Hoosiers.
Being the gun aficionado you are, remember to just squeeze between breaths (just like coming out of T8) and have a great day at the range.
Enjoy your special day Joe !

Except for the Hoosiers! No Hoosiers until we max out the tires you've been running.

Default Kind Wishes

Thanks for the kind wishes, guys.

Our DE days usually consist of 9 laps.

1-2 Laps Warmup
3-5 is getting into the Rhythm
6-7 Flat out
8 Cruising to the Chequered flag
9 is a Cool Down

Turning 70 is wonderful, providing a great sense of freedom and gratitude.

I am now living in LAP EIGHT, happily cooling down!

Living in Florida, the land of "Conceal Carry", on my BD, I went to the gym to prepare for a day of killing terrorists with a Sig Sauer 9mm.
Clearly it was a success!

Today I'll try a Walther and an H&K, my favourite. It feels like a 911.

I've signed up for the May 2 event, and I will be 'carrying', so be sure to take your passes CLEANLY AND EARLY!

Thanks Tom.

True wealth is liiving beneath ones's means.
Less is more!

Our DE experiences can be seen as a metaphor for this.
