Amen. Eat breakfast. Get outta the house. Don't come back until lunch. Then same thing 'til dinner.Man the list of things I miss is long.
I miss the simplicity. No phones/social networking. Leave the house with as set course of things to accomplish and no one missed you. The phone was on the wall at home. We were pretty self reliant.
The town I grew up in had a coal fired power plant. Used the clinkers on the roads in the winter. A wreck on your bike took a lot of skin off in the springtime until the rain washed them off the streets.In middle/high school, our track (and elementary playground) was cinders/clinkers. Tripping on the hurdles meant a long session with tweezers. Bicycle wipe-outs on asphalt were less injurious, lol!

converse all star low tops were the cheapest sneakers you could buy and we had enough pairs to were a red right shoe and a white left shoe.
You were lucky, when I was a kid our tennis shoes came from Danners a 5&10 ( Danner dandies is what I called em ) store or just about anyplace that carried cheap shoes. If you wanted the ultimate shoe ( Converse All Stars ) the only place I remember being able to get them was at Em-Roes downtown Indy. Probably the equivalent to a nice pair of Jordan Nikes in today's world.
Seems like only yesterday.Having a president that cared about the people.
Just curious what kind of vehicle? I do a lot of the work on my vehicles and I would be pissed off to be going through what you are.I got a rant here, unnecessary crap in cars. I need a new battery in my sedan. Pretty simple process you'd think. Wrong, the battery is $284 from napa. I have to disassemble my trunk to get to it. Of course this battery isnt at any of my local auto part stores. Then when i install it i have to purchase an app $30 on my phone to "register the battery" & let the car know its a new battery so the computer can tell the alternator how much it should send to it. If i dont get the exact same spec'd battery i would have to buy another app for $30 to recode the computer (both apps owned by the same company btw, should of just made 1 app). Oh and then theres the $30 bucks for the bluetooth obd2 plug to be able to make the changes. so roughly $400 for a new battery to save me roughly 120 bucks labor rate.
Its a bmw 5 series.Just curious what kind of vehicle? I do a lot of the work on my vehicles and I would be pissed off to be going through what you are.
just changed the battery in the lexus it’s in the trunk also and had to go to dealer to buy battery!Its a bmw 5 series.
I miss back in the day when my late Uncle Mike would come over on Sunday mornings (we lived two houses apart.) and fix biscuits and gravy. His gravy was awesome.
Miss picking up the phone and calling my mom or going over to see how she was doing.
Most of all I miss Mrs IBM, the last 3.5 years has not been the same without her, the good morning kisses and good bye hugs when I left for work and returned, along with the normal husband & wife banter.
Getting old sucks. Enjoy every moment while you can, because one day it'll just be memories.
Thank you.My sincere condolences.
Getting old really does suck, and I've just turned 59.My Dad often said, getting old ain't for wimps. He was right.
I guess they think luxury car owners dont like to get their hands dirty too. Jokes on them ill throw an sbc in it and make it work.just changed the battery in the lexus it’s in the trunk also and had to go to dealer to buy battery!
Funny my stepdads line was getting old ain’t for the weak! Had his first surgery at 77. Somehow I find that impressive. He beat esophagus cancer but lost to multiple myeloma which is cancer of the blood.My sincere condolences.
