but I'm gettin' by with these" Tommy Rush - Merrimac County

If anybody catches the idea that I am a little flaky, it's okay. I find recently that although I can still ride a bike as smoothly as ever, do delicate repairs on wristswatches and work in our garden... I find postings from a year ago that are the same story I told you last week. I didn't remember making either post until a couple of minutes ago when I caught a notification.

So, if I get redundant, please forgive my pride in a life well ridden! I'm getting old but I still shred 60Tx13t, mind is slippin' but da legs still kickin'
Twenty-seven solo transcontinental crossings. My last crossing was at the age of 66 with 185 pounds of bike and gear on an artificial hip. Over a 72 year span I have ridden a half-million miles. I am not done. I am Raven Stands Alone, the Emperor of the Universe. (Google it)
