rodney earl Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 You would think that a 56year old man would know better than to be flirting with death but obviously not. Ah well that is what happens. No sympathy.!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldrunner Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I'm with Rodney, at 56 you stay on the ground and admire the skill of young jumpers. Bones aren't quite a strong at 56, more like BRITTLE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
