Fo all you age deficient folk out there. My wife and I have both noticed that as seniors, we don’t seem to need antiperspirant nearly as much. Definitely not every day. Unless I’m mowing or something, a couple times a week is plenty.

Only an old fart like me will remember these guys.

I learned in a Volvo PV544 probably in 1967. That thing had a gear shift about 3 feet long. Taught myself by driving up and down our driveway.

In the past, I have made apple butter and blackberry jelly (I have thornless blackberry bushes, that are a bit tart for raw eating, but fabulous for pies and jelly) to give away at holidays. But it takes so much time, my wife gets irritated that I am spending so much time in the kitchen. Apple butter from raw apples…

Forgot it! We were sent a box last year. It was all horrible. To us, the pears were not good. Had to be peeled, as the skin was very bitter. And even at that, just barely tolerable to eat. And all the other stuff... Walmart has better stuff in there store brands. Save your money!!!!

Hmm. I've never seen a wood potato.

Soup.

Cut a plate full of them in half, cook until tender in a bit of water. Then run them through something like this to quickly get rid of skin and seeds:

Our most successful aquarium is our 300 gallon goldfish pond. We have a small leaved water lilly that covers it all summer to keep the fish cool. Feed them once a day. Clean the pump and lava rock filter every month or so. Clean the whole thing out twice a year. Turn the pump off all winter. Couldn’t be easier. We…

Me too! I’ve got a 50 year old Farberware Super fast percolator. Makes the best coffee. In 3 minutes!

I would recommend using a wood tooth pick or a thin piece of stiff plastic to clean out the charging port. Too easy to damage something with a piece of metal.

Bananas make a great salad. My Mom used to make these. I have no idea where she got this.

I hope one of these civilian flights doesn’t end up like in the book Orbit.

“ if you design every city around the car, you are doing it wrong.”

If you have most of a day free, make apple butter. It’s so much better than store bought.

Needless to say, these are not low calorie. I figured it up once. They are about 500 calories each.

Would it be possible to program a key to type (or copy) that so you don't have to type it every time?

Here is my recipe for 3 dozen. You can cut it down to 1 dozen, but 0ne quart of buttermilk works just right for 3. You may need to adjust time and temp. I needed to.
