I can somewhat relate. I drive a Ford F700 everyday for work. I would imagine that Falcoon doesn't handle a whole lot better. But I at least have PS in the truck. It does make me appreciate jumping in the Camry at the end of the day.
You know......If you roll down that back window it's as good as AC.
OK maybe not but it's a really cool feature. What year is it? '62-63?
It`s a 62. We took it down the Cape yesterday. We felt it after that. The vinyl seats feel like big soft couches at first. On top of no Power steering, power brakes, ABS. A/C.3 on the tree. A long ride can be draining. Hard to believe that all cars were like that. It is great on gas. 100 miles on 1/4 tank.

I wish. You don`t appreciate how comfortable and better handling modern cars are until you drive an old one. No power steering. No support in the seats. No A/C. Plus, Chris doesn`t know how to drive a stick.

Not a NGD. This time it is a car. Plus, I want to see if I figured out how to post a picture. No new guitars to post. In fact, I am thinking about selling some.
Nearly there Joe, I just edited the letters 'url' at the start and finish and changed to 'img' and 'Hey Presto' - Roger

Sounds like your recent incidents have done you small favour?
About 20 years ago I had similar symptoms. After lengthy tests they discovered I had something called sarcoidosis. It's not very nice, I had to give up gigging for about a year and a lot of other things I enjoy doing.
I doubt that is what you're suffering, but it would be worth checking it out?
When I say I can`t do anything like I used to, I am talking about physical activity. I could actually care less if I can`t drink or smoke anymore. It was nice but it wasn`t important.

After recent "incidents", I can`t play or do much of anything for more than a short time. A short drive takes a lot out of me. Haven`t even attempted a long drive yet. Any ideas on what to do. Note-- Also had to go from chain smoking, hard drinking to doing nothing in one step. It does get frustrating knowing that I can`t do anything like I used to anymore.

Wouldn`t it be easier to get a streaming box. They are fairly inexpensive and they recieve a lot of channels. I`ve had a Roku box for years, I love it. One thing. Stay away from the Rabbit TV stick. It is a waste of money.

I very rarely use a pick, but I had to smile at JJJ's comment about socks. I always seem to lose just one sock at a time. No idea where they go but I got a lot of odd socks. So if theirs any one legged strummers out there I can fix you up with some.
It must be awkward when it comes time to buy slippers

Working? Bored already? You've only bought like 16 guitars since those uniform shirts went up in flames.
Starting to get bored. For some reason I pictured my retirement as being sitting on my deck playing and drinking Genesee all the time.That started to get old fast. Going from 14 hours each day to not working is a big step. I won`t do what I was doing. I will get something more age friendly and not as draining. At least I can be a little bit choosy this time. My job was sucking the life out of me more and more each day.

I think that picks go to the same place as socks when you take them out of the dryer. Find the socks and you will find the picks. And vica versa.

Almost indestructable and with good sound and well set-up.... needs a strap to help hold it unless you use a foot stand..... but I have been impressed with the ones I've played.
Those flat rubber thingys for removing caps from jars work great for keeping Ovations from sliding off your thigh. You can usually get them for free from whatever company advertises on them.

Babson to the right. Mexican ladies on the bottom. As long as I don`t leave the cursor on it, it is just an ad. If I do, it clicks on the ad automatically. It doesen`t bother me. The one for Discount Tires came up. I did click on it. Has anyone ever done business with them. Four 17" Cooper tires and wheels for 1300 sounds pretty good. Free Shipping. I may go through them.
