All the aches and pains in old age the result of a rambunctious youth.


There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

So is having a stack of these:

Yep.

I keep one right next to the church key I use to open my beer.

Kurt Loder from MTV just turned 70.

How's that for feeling old?

All Terrain Vehicles had three wheels.

AM radio played the cool music while FM was still in it's infancy playing classical and public radio.

All headlights were round. Station wagons had fake wood paneling.

We still had a doctor that did house calls.

TIME magazine still meant something.

LOVED nearly killing myself on three wheelers! Never could figure out why they were outlawed...lol...they were a freaking blast!

AM radio...yes! Grew up listening to rock and roll radio with Larry Lujack and John Record Landecker on 89 WLS!



Now WLS is all talk and sucks...lol. Used to listen to the Indy 500 and Ft Wayne Komet hockey on 1190 WOWO when it was one of the most powerful stations in the USA with 50,000 watts of power! People on the east coast and down to Florida could catch Bob Chase doing play by play for Komet hockey. smile

Our station wagon had push button shift auto transmission...lol. Also had a "jump seat" in the back...where I usually sat so I could make faces at cars behind us...lol.

No, that's just an interval. It passed for me about 15 years
ago. Now they play horrendous crap which seems to be wretched
attempts at remakes of stuff that was not that good to begin
with but better than the new versions. And all from long past
the era when the music was good...

You know you are old when you remember when it was considered lame to wear black socks with shorts, and tennis shoes (or sneakers) were always white.

Three wheelers were banned because parents would buy a bike too big for their six year old to handle. Yup, there was an inherent instability because they were three wheeled vehicles but if a person rode the right way they handled fantastically. Other injuries were with teens riding with three on a bike and someone would get their body tattooed with knobby tires when they fell off. I rode a bit crazy but I always rode within the parameters of the bike. They weren't hard to control if you shifted your weight correctly. I loved my honda 200.

I remember when you made a long distance phone call...the person on the other end actually sounded like they were far away. You could barely hear them.

Another one of these threads. smile

I'm feeling my age lately with an intermittent soreness that travels around my abdomen and side of my back, like an inflammation. Muscle in my right lower arm also unusually sore, not so much with bench presses and butterfly curls, mainly just with regular curls. Fortunately none of it is bad enough to disrupt my routine yet.

I usually take an Ibuprofen a couple of times a week before dozing off and I *hate* pill popping. I hope this abdomen/back then goes away soon. I mentioned it on my last physical, GP found nothing unusual.

Most of my internal aches and pains actually feel better when I'm working out or on the treadmill, go figure. As far as muscle aches, I still don't stretch nearly as often as I should.

I don't own an "I" anything...but I do have an RCA 4gig MP3 player...lol.

I don't own a tablet, but I'll go on TDY with a big screen lap top.

My wife still has a flip phone...lol. Hell, my Android Razer smart phone is first generation from about 5-6 years ago.

We recently bought an '05 Jeep Grand Cherokee (11 years old)...and it's the newest vehicle we own. '05 seems like yesterday...lol.

I daily drive a 97 Jeep TJ Sport (19 years old, 226K miles). Our other vehicle is a 91 Dodge W150 (25 years old). My "new" boat I just bought a few months ago is a 1975 Larsen Manta bowrider (41 years old). Everything still works as advertised, and is easy to work on if it doesn't. smile

The old days, my sister and I rode in the back of a Chevy pickup truck, with a topper, from IN to TX and back. No seat belts...tap on the window if you have to pee...just a foam cushion, sleeping bags, snacks, and drinks. Also rode back there for camping trips to northern Michigan. Life was good.

About the only thing that could make me feel old is that if I hear my smart phone ringing while I'm driving...I wait until I reach my destination before I look at it.




Yeah, and you work on those old lumpy planes too. duck neaner

Wanted to know something? Remember it (or write down) and try to look it up in the library the next time you went there. Of course most encyclopedia's were at least a few years old in the library.

First flightsim I ever played was wireframe. Now we're discussing (read: overanalyzing) a tiny palette change plus the price it may or may not have cost because the author gave it away for free after he felt his investment had been repaid.


There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more inexplicable.
There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
