excuse the copy/paste, my dad sent me this 
OLD FART PRIDE
I'm passing this on as I did not want to be the only old fart receiving it.
Actually, it's not a bad thing to be called, as you will see.
Old Farts are easy to spot at sporting events; during the playing of the O CANADA,
Old Farts remove their caps and stand at attention and sing without embarrassment. They know the words and believe in them.
Old Farts remember World War II, Pearl Harbor,
Guadal Canal, Normandy, Italy and Hitler. They remember the Atomic Age, the Korean War,
The Cold War, the Jet Age and the Moon Landing. They remember the 50 Plus Peacekeeping Missions from 1945 to 2005, not to mention Vietnam.
If you bump into an Old Fart on the sidewalk he will apologize. If you pass an Old Fart on the street, he will nod or tip his cap to a lady.
Old Farts trust strangers and are courtly to women.
Old Farts hold the door for the next person and always, when walking, make certain the lady is on the inside for protection.
Old Farts get embarrassed if someone curses in front of women and Children and they don't like any filth or dirty language on TV or in movies.
Old Farts have moral courage and personal integrity. They seldom brag unless it's about their children or grandchildren.
It's the Old Farts who know our great country is protected, not by Politician's', but by the young men and women in the military serving their Country.
This country needs Old Farts with their work ethic, sense of responsibility, pride in their country and decent values.
We need them now more than ever.
Thank God for Old Farts!
Pass this on to all the Old Farts you know.
I was taught to respect my elders.
It's just getting harder to find them

I agree with this post, I work with the elderly, and have for over a year since I lost the biss and my home. I ride when i get the chance and I'm still looking for a truck to haul my quad. Just a reminder dont go in to biss with your faimly they are the worst you can get for a biss and they make shure it don't last long.
Some minds are like concrete, thoroughly mixed up and
permanently set.

I agree with this as well. I'm not an old fart, im still a young buck, but I have some of these "qualities". It's about respect and not being naive to the world, not about age. I don't remember any of the historic parts first hand, but I've read about them in school and have family who has been in a lot of it.
SIDE NOTE
CASPERBRITTAIN - Glad to see you're still around, after everything you've endured the last year. How have you been handling everything? sorry again to hear about your lost. .

that's good to hear. this recession really kicked everyone's ass. Keep your head up, things will turn around for the better. hope you find a truck soon, so you can get out and ride, get your mind off of things for a little bit.
