[quote="Sharpsman"]When I was 20 years old....I had 3 ambitions aka:
1. Make love to Marilyn Monroe
2. Fly an F-86 jet fighter
3. Hunt in Africa
RESULTS:
1. Marilyn died on me!
2. Elected not to attend college...so the jets were out! Flew Ag Planes instead!
3. Africa became too expensive!
PERSPECTIVES:
When all the elk and mulies have been eliminated from Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana......I'll quit!!
Those things that seem important at 20......ain't important at 40...and what seems important at 40....is no longer important at 60!!

Sharpsman,
I wouldn't trade a dozen Marilyn Monroes for the woman who threw her lot in with mine!
I never flew a f86, but I have spent some time in a Cessna 210!
I have hunted the hell out of Africa!!
What does all this mean? Not a damn thing!! If I had spent my African money on Microsoft stock, I could have retired a hundred times over. The fact is, I wouldn't trade my life's experiences for all the money in the world. The simple reality of life is; it is what it is, I spent fathers day telling my dad his daughter had passed away that morning. It puts group size, sights, powder selection, hunting, barrel weight and everything else into a perspective that is pretty difficult to worry about when compared to our wives, children, and family and what they mean to us on a daily basis.
A last wish; Go give your family a big hug!!
Oh Yeah, I did stay at a Holiday Inn express!
