Happy Birthday to Spud!

Yeah Ole' Spud is either 60 or 61 today (I would ask him but he won't remember due to his age related memory loss!). The years have not been kind to Ole' Spud's body either! Just a few years ago he could run for miles several times a week and now he hobbles around on one leg. His teeth are falling out from eating so many of those vinegar pies he is famous for! He told me the other day that even with his new glasses he just does not see like he used to. He gets headaches all the time which according to him come from too much pollen, air too dry, air too wet, etc.,etc.,etc. (I personally believe the source of headaches is having to look in the mirror every morning at that mug of his). And it's probably time for him to change his moniker from Spud to Rotten Moldy Decrepit Old Tater!
I will give Spud some credit though. He still knows how to catch some fish! On our latest 3 day fishing trip, he beat me on 2 of the 3 days and managed to operate his trolling motor standing on his one good leg in rough waters (a feat that many of you youngsters can't accomplish!) Ole' Spud is just about the best friend I've ever had and Mrs Furious George and I look forward to taking him and Mrs. Spud out for our annual B-day bash just as soon as we can locate a restaurant that serves lots of soft food (like applesauce) and has plenty of room around the table to accommodate his bad knee. You guys post some of your favorite Spud stories and Spud posts in replies to celebrate Ole Spuds B-day.
And again Happy B-Day to my favorite Rotten Moldy Decrepit Old Tater!!!!

who personally knows Spud please give him a sideways camera for his birthday, so he can take pictures that turn out standing up? I am old and decrepit too, and having to crane my head sideways to look at his catches makes my neck sound like a box of Rice Krispies! I think he is really just doing it that way because it makes the fish look bigger.

Happy birthday Spud. I hope you have a wonderful day and will celebrate this occasion many, many more times.
Furious George has elaborated on your many age related problems, both mental and physical. Is this what I will encounter when I reach 61?

Balm --- I was dining in a restaurant at Mayport, FL, many years ago. There was a small group in the restaurant celebrating one of the men's birthday. At the end of their dinner a waitress brought out a beautiful cake adorned with the head of a large fish on top with it's mouth wide open. That cake got the attention of everyone in the restaurant. I assumed his friends played this prank on him and it must have been related in some way to his fishing skills.
