I noticed that when I run to catch up with someone, I’m not moving much faster that when I was walking fast

Every time I hear the opening lines to Steppenwolf Magic Carpet Ride I envision him sitting in front of a pair of Klipsch corner horns “I like to dream/ Yes-yes, right between my sound machine” "The lyrics were about how great my new stereo sounded."

I remember being the remote and only having three channels. Every time dad wanted the channel changed I would have to get up and change it!

Yup, we had channels 3, 8, and 30. Neighbors had a color TV. I never saw it on, but the thing had to have been 4’ deep.
Felt that getting older thing at the track today. Slow and weak , felt like I put on 20 pounds since the last time I weighed myself (January), and turns out I lost 10 pounds.

You reminded me that I would go into a gas station and say: Put in 50 cents of gas, check the oil and wash the windshield.

I had a 52" version that weighed 350 pounds! I got lucky and some poor guy paid me $50 to let him load it up and take it home. It reminds me of the 2 best days of boat ownership :rofl:

I had something to contribute here regarding the signs that I am getting older … but now I forget what it was.

I’m sure something will come back to me. Oh well.

Stay safe out there.

I’ve given up voicing my opinion on the Hornady/covid thread.
I must be getting older…and wiser :thinking:

No one I know remembers Kukla, Fran, and Ollie. I guess that means I’m old.
