Or gas stations. It’s where I got my first pack; Marlboro reds for a quarter and a dime.

Thank God I quit more than 20 years ago. Now I can’t even stand the smell. Makes me angry.

You know you're old when......

......you rent the log splitter for a full week instead of just two days. Which is what we just did, to finally get all of this ash wood down to burning size. Took 3 days, which at the daily rental rate is exactly the same as renting it for a week. (Pic is our first day's output.) Now we have to stack it, ugh.
I shouldn’t laugh , but a couple of days of moving and stacking firewood had chest pains and ambo trip to hospital. Ripped out the wood burner and put in a bunch heat pumps after.

Now it’s a case of ….. now, where did I leave that remote 🤔

Speaking of that.... I seemed to have lost a magazine for the 380 I lost in a boating accident somewhere between the upstairs master and the downstairs family room; it isn't that far...

I remember some crazy people getting around the dizzy problem by putting their control line hand grip on a stake in the middle of a circle, starting the engine, and making a mad dash out of the flight path before the plane came around on its first lap.

When I was a kid we would walk up to the Texaco gas station with a specially modified bottle opener and a plastic cup for a free Coke. You only got half the bottle and had to be fast before the attendant caught you.
