I saw something recently, it really struck a cord with me, or maybe a reality check It was youtube video, this fella is a retirement planner for people in the US Anyway the guts of the video was, he asked his 80 year old clients what the regretted not doing or doing at different times in their lives The biggest regret by far was (as I understood it) was people not seeing that in their 50's they, by and large have it all, let me explain From the time we start work as a young bloke we can work 20 hours a day 7 days a week and never get tired This is very handy as we are generally struggling to get a foot hold in life In this time frame we can make good money by working long hours, we have our health but we don't have enough spare time to enjoy the fruits of our labour's Most of us apparently find that by our 50's we are now smart enough and capable enough that we don't still need to work these long hours, yet apparently by this stage, that is what we know works so we keep on working Our health is generally really good still, we can make good money and still work long hours What we don't seem to see coming is that this good health only lasts maybe another 10 years and starts to slowly go down hill before accelerating until we pop our clogs and the journey is over These 80 year olds, by and large regret working to hard, for to long and not winding back on the work front and winding up on the enjoying of life and enjoying the fruits of labour's Our health and the ability to just do and enjoy things apparently goes pretty quickly and catches unaware I say to people When I was a kid at school hours took days days took weeks weeks took months months took years I think we all remember those summers that went on for ever These days years are gone in months months are gone in a week weeks are gone days Anyway Larry we have completely ran this thread off into the side cut But reading comments above, it sort of confirms what this video was saying Enjoy every moment as best as we can Paul

We call them a "Granny Scarer" And yes they do scare the occasional granny Paul

Probably not, the U.S. market is very different than the Australian market In Australia we would use these types of vehicles to pull 3 1/2 ton Were as the U.S. would want a dually or something similar We (Australian's) push our vehicles a lot harder in Australia than the U.S. And this isn't a pissing competition, we just flog the crap out of our gear Paul

Be buggered Missed this one, hope you had a great day Joey Hope beer o'clock rolled around and a great time was had Paul

All I know is, yah can't take it with you I'll share my latest dumb ass purchase when and if it arrives from the US Don't see any trailers hooked on the back of a hearse A very dear friend of mine is slowly dying of brain cancer, he has no regrets and has lived a full life Anyway, enough dribble from me Your having "Crack" and that's all that really matters Top work and your making us all look like bludgers, or bums or what ever you call no hopers in the States Paul

A bit like shielas with big boobs, low cut tops and mini skirts Paul

We are all lucky you took the trucks, otherwise we wouldn't of got a look in Paul

He did stop and have a glance, can't look at everything I guess Paul

There's a little B model on here that looks really familiar Paul

Stumbled across this old thread yesterday Plenty good lookers on this thread Well worth a scroll down memory lane of the forum from time to time Paul

Im Australia the bull shit story starts with "I know for a fact" Radios are only used for Over Sized and loading and unloading, very little other talk these days Paul

WOW, never seen or heard of one of these before Paul

Hot off the press I'm as excited as a dog with two tails watching this Paul

Gotta love that Paul

Just about everything in Australia and NewZealand like this is diesel, has been for years Manual transmission was standard up to maybe 10 or 15 years ago and is now a option Diesel is far cheaper normally to run than petrol in Australia, even if the actual cost is a little more per litre and to purchase Paul

The Everest is a pretty good machine Princess has had one for 12 months now, hasn't missed a beat Paul

Well spring time is short, we reap what we sow So kitchen cabinets are a winter job Playing trucks is a spring and autumn (sorry fall) job As some jokers will complain it's to hot in the summer Priorities are what it's all about, put your foot down, say it like it is And let me know which hospital to send the get well card to The good news is you have a air leak in the return to tank side Bad news is you haven't found it yet Paul
