    This is a sign you might be OLD!

    Get equipment to do the lifting when you can and if your going to have to do it more than once the mind is the strongest part of the body. We've even invented or modified tools to make the job easier, I use to tell them at work, When I retire I want to walk to the pond to go fishing not use a...

    This is a sign you might be OLD!

    I'll turn 74 in October but people tell me I look like in my 50s. I got off the tobacco & alcohol over 20 years ago and take testosterone plus other supplements but I didn't escape the aches & pains of working hard in bad environments and arthritis. Other than that I'm in my glory when I'm...

    NGP CB antenna

    Your right in the side of the trailer installation would be a bad choice of placement. I most of the time prefer the center of the roof that's why all my mobile antenna are mag mounts because I refuse to punch a hole in my roof for any reason. Just my opinion which I have a right to. I wonder...

    Even channel 6 ( the stupid bowl ) was dead yesterday. I finally got my kl-200 p hooked up and running in my Expedition just in time to hear the crickets. LOL But at least yesterday I got my new computer and router hooked up and running along with a new 1 year subscription to McAfee Internet...

    The good o'l days of USA

    When I grew up in the 50s it was common to see guys die in their 40s and if you made it to your 60s you were Old. I was born in 1950 and can remember wondering if I would live to see the year 2000. Now I'm a Old Buzzard ! LOL

    I rely on a 12 milligram tablet of melatonin to help me get a decent amount of hours sleep or I might wake up several times in the night. But now at almost 74 I sometimes feel like napping in the day. LOL

    How many radios do you run?

    That's what I'm trying to do at 73.5 YO I want stuff that will last me as long as I'm going to be around. Not that I mind giving work to the repair guys, but then you have to give the monkeys at UPS & FedEX their shot at bouncing it around. Sure wished I studied electronic repair when I was...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Was hearing Jamaica this morning as I was running for a haircut and this afternoon as traveling the DX was rolling pretty good. Stayed away from 38 lsb because it was a beehive but when I bumped up to 40 lsb there was some 111 clown polluting that channel so back down to 37 lsb I went. Can't...

    LOL Believe me a 3 hour nap in the day is not my style, it comes with age and lousy weather. I'm so ready to get outside and kick some butt on my projects. Having patience is killing me ! LOL

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Another rainy day so spent some time in the radio room and DX was not good but heard some faint activity so thought I would try several of my radios for the heck of it.

    A man has to do what works best for himself. I'm not saying my way is the best way but I've always been a Head Strong Independent Type with many hobbies to keep my mind occupied. And being an Old Fart helps ! What ever Floats Your Boat. LOL
