Yaa, just a little old today
1983..........I was in the 9th grade

I was 4 in 1983! still running around ****ting my pants.. i hope someday i grow outta that

Chit, I was 31 in 1983

In 1983 Iwas 26, was out in the OH-ZONE then as well!!! (In a different sense)!

I was 19, in college, chasing (well, you know what) and having a great time. NO worrys and life is just a party. Kinda like traviss's life now.

hey hey hey watch it. I have responsibilties ...............like keeping the boat clean, full of gas and running .

In '83 I was 28, been out of high school for 9, married for 6 and my daughter was 3.
Damn I'm old.

I think I'll go home and pull the covers over my head.

I was in Junior High, but I can remembr all that like it was yesterday. Whenever I see an old classmate or someone "my age" I think man........they look like hell. Damn.........what the hell do I look like then?

Oh well, the good life is just begining!!

Yes traviss,your work IS important. Keep up the good work! I just wish I could be lilke you....only better looking with a faster boat and .......oh hell I'll just stay me.


j/k we all live vicariously through you.
