Pluggers by Rick McKee for June 24, 2022

mm-hmm

Real great mileage if you do preventive maintenance. Frequent oil changes and always check the tire pressure before a long trip. Use brushless washing and Turtle Wax at least twice a year.

And overly fussy pluggers wind up in a pawn shop.

Start with good Genes and then add a lot of TLC :-)

All the fuss these days about organic foods and such. I say I’ve eaten enough preservatives I will live forever! ;-)

Unfortunately, there are some Pluggers that have that attitude, but really require 1 or 2 brown paper bags. Then there are the Plugger ladies who’s Toilet Water smells like it came out of the toilet and it announces their arrive 5 minutes before you see them and lingers 10 minutes after they’re gone.

Greatest benefit of age is just being happy with who you are, no longer caring what “they” think.

This is an excellent plugger. Good job, Alan.

My mirror doesn’t lie that well. :)

and then some of us are just broken-down old junk

When I met my second wife, she was a “college girl” of 65, going to a State University. She was so cute and full of energy. Her long hair was blonde-brown-grey and her hazel eyes lit up with every smile. Men (and women) admired her, wherever we went. I always felt like I was with a star.

When we went to her 50th high school reunion, I was the “trophy husband”. There she met her high school sweetheart. She asked me what I would do, if she were unfaithful. I told her there was only one way to find out. Never did find out. :)

Such a woman is hard to come by. Treasure her while you may. We had ten years together.

And yet… there is only so much one can do with an old barn… just appreciate it for what it was and what it still is! The wear and tear only proves the wonderful history – learn from it while it is still up and accessible.
