Thank GOD for woodworking forums!

[Woodnknots]

I checked my email today before I went to work, and got an email from a couple of woodworking forums I belong to, and they were both wishing me a happy birthday. I said what the heck? It's not my... wait... Oooohhh, it IS! So I spent a little while today pondering how many birthdays does one have to have to begin forgetting them? In my case... It's 34... But hey, my new jointer comes tomorrow!!

 

[DocStram]

I was 34 once .... I think. I'm trying to remember. It's been 24 years. [:0]

Remember, you are not getting older, just getting more experienced [][8D]

 

[TBone]

Well Happy Birthday Dave. Wish I was 34..........again.

 

[cigarman]

Gosh Pete you and I are the same age. Well at least your the same age I once was []

 

[wdcav1952]

Only 20 years ago for me. Dang, Doc, you are old!! []

 

[Tea Clipper]

Happy B-day Dave!

They say the mind is the second thing to go.....





...I forget the first. [)]

 

[OKLAHOMAN]

Dave,Happy Birthday, If I didn't have mad cow I might remember my 34th as it was only @%^$% 32 years ago.

 

[wudnhed]

Hah! So are you, Cav! It's only been 17 for me.[]

Happy birthday, Dave!!

 

[ross51]

Happy Birthday
I just had my 21st anniversary of my 34th birthday.

 

[beamer]

This 34 thing sounds like fun ... i can hardly wait 3 more years before I get to try it, too!

[stevers]

Hey, only 13 sense I was 34. Makes me feel like a pup. Owwww, sorry I tried to jump up and I think I pulled something. Or like they say "I think I got a hitch in my
get-a-long".

 

[JimGo]

Happy Birthday Dave!!! I'm only a couple of years ahead of you, unlike most of these guys! Wow, I knew the "regulars" were old, but not THAT old! []

 

[Woodnknots]

Interesting to see some of the age diversity in this forum! Perhaps instead of a "what do you look like" thread, we should have a "how old are you" thread?

thanks for all the "Happy B-days!"

My wife finally hits the big 3-0 this July. Can't wait...

Theres always one rotten kid in the bunch !!!

Some warrenties on new items are longer than what i'll live..lol

As pay back think ill come back and haunt Jim's shop.
Every time you get a ketch it'll be me....[}][}]

what's my name.

 

[Rifleman1776]

I forgot, several decades ago. I have children older than you.

 

[ilikewood]

Wow, I have been 39 for several years now.[]

 

[Tom McMillan]

Golleee---my oldest Daughter's 34 (or is it 35???), anyway I've been 34 for 27 years now. Good to see all you folks, young, old or in between!!!

 

[tas2181]

I'll be 84 when I should have to replace my 30 year shingles on my roof and they have (hopefully)25 more years left. You do the math.

 

[jthompson1995]

I've still got 4 and a half years to go to make it to 34, I guess I'm one of the youngin's compared to most members. [)][}]

(Ducks and runs like Jimgo taught me to [][])

 

[kent4Him]

I've had 7 years of experience being 34. It's easy once you get used to it.

 

[ed4copies]

No one stays 34 forever!

39, on the other hand, I have enjoyed for over a decade!!!

 

[Woodnknots]

Okay, I'm pretty sure I'm used to being 34, it feels oddly enough just like being 33. On the brighter side of things... My jointer is here!!

I'm feeling much better, I stay mostly in one piece without the aid of a "jointer". (Does that make Mary Jane ciggys??? OR stretch your joints when you get out of bed???)

Forgot to say, "Happy Birthday, and may you enjoy MANY more!!"

 

[fiferb]

I'll be 34 again, I started counting backwards at 45.[]

Thanks! I just got it set up, with Doghouse's help (it's HEAVY!), and after much primping and preening, I ran a test board. 6 ft long white oak that would have taken at LEAST 10 passes on my old jointer, I got it flat in ONE pass!!!!! Never even bogged down a little!
It makes alot of sawdust, I'll have to get my DC hooked up to it soon... I took pictures of the assembly process, I'll post when I have time!!

 

[BigRob777]

Happy birthday. It's been 13 years for me, since I was 34.

A wood turner leaves the wood store at 34 years old, installs a roof, a jointer, and his wife has a birthday. HOW OLD IS THE WOOD TURNER???


I love word problems....LOL....

 

[ilikewood]

I'm with Ed here....are jointers really legal?

I have a nice little joiner myself, but with all my cop friends I had to stay away from the jointer.[)]
