  Happy Wednesday morning, everybody.

  You know, I just turned 62 years young, and I was looking at my
• 0:16
  face this morning and I said, damn, all my whiskers are Gray.
• 0:25
  It's official. I'm an old man.
• 0:29
  Ain't that crazy? I know I'm not.
• 0:32
  But you're only as old as you act.
• 0:35
  But I was looking at my face in the mirror and I'm like, my
• 0:40
  whiskers are Gray. That means I'm smarter.
• 0:45
  That means I'm wiser. I know more now.
• 0:48
  I've seen it all. Not yet.
• 0:52
  There's a lot of living to do. I have not seen it all.
• 0:58
  All right, today we're going to do something as a tribute to all
• 1:02
  of you, all of you wonderful people, coffee with Kenny and

  We don't have a fan club, but it's like we still have the fan
• 1:43
  club. Kim and Brenda Hayes used to
• 1:47
  operate our fan club and it was wonderful.

  a I was running a center steer mod over in Virginia and I ran
• 3:26
  out of tear offs and you can tell where my knuckles were.
• 3:30
  So I would so like I'd come off the corner every lap and you can
• 3:36
  tell where my knuckles were wiping.
