Dennis G Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Wow not bad you old farts... I think there's a compliment in there, right? LOL Not sure if I feel smart or old but even though I guessed at a few, they were (mostly) right based on my gut instinct. Missed 3 by my count, which I thought was pretty good for giving it a go first time through off the top of my head. So the good news is, even though I'm old, the brain is still working!
