Hi Thom,

Your system must be slipping.  80 and still flying, well trundling around 

the patch on a nice evening.



Cheers

Thanks for the encouragement Pat.  I'm hoping it won't be too long now

before I can "GO" and be up there with the rest of you Kolbers.



Minor correction.... It would seem like with the name Jody, one would be a

girl, just doesn't happen to be true in my case.  I was named after my dad

so we were both Joes, thus the nick name Jody, which has stuck with me.  In

my mind it is a great step up from "Baby Joe" which is what they called me

as a tot. 



Hoping to get the doors on my building this week so I can actually start

messing with my Kolb project and maybe make some vroooom noises.



Thanks, 



Jody

Hi Jody,

your Dad was a GIRL..? I like your idea of a `minor correction`.. merely a 

sex change



Sorry about that. The debil made me do it.



I don`t believe parents think enough about the names or initials they stick 

kids with. I get the same problem with Pat being construed as a girls name. 

But only once.



Full of admiration for your plans.Good luck from the UK



Cheers



Pat

Since my last summation, three more have posted their ages. This will be my last summation.  I'm glad to see there are a good number of pre-senior Kolbers amongst us but sure would like to see more.

I am 6' 5" (or at least once was) and 240, so I have never been teased a lot

about the Jody thing.  Potential teasers may not have realized that "big"

and "mean" are not synonymous.  



Top this one --- my middle name is Francis.  As Pat might say.... thanks for

that folks.



Still 70 and not too old to tease OR build and fly my first Kolb!!!
