Durabile. That's someone with an iron stomach.

Gooning. Isn’t that what one of the characters in Brainstorm did?

I was a teen in the 60's. I never saw any LSD orgies. Besides, the times I took any sort of psychedelics, sex was the last thing on my mind.

When I was young and stupid, I once jumped off of Skull Bluff into the Buffalo River in Arkansas. IIRC, it's about 60 feet. Hurt like @&%k. Almost ripped my cutoff shorts off. Here’s a picture of the place.

This isn’t about happiness. More about how nothing changes.

Wonder how many readers just went "Donovan? Who he heck is Donovan?"

As a young teen, I used to love Heathkit. I built a table radio, and a very nice stereo system/record player. My only problem was, I am a bit color blind. So my Mom had to sort all of the color coded resistors and parts of me. That was before the computer age. But I would have built one if I grew up when computer kits…

But what do I do if I don’t have a tennis ball, plastic tubing, trigger clamp, paint stir stick or the only zip tie I have is a tiny little one?

Don’t buy a black car??

“without getting sticky watermelon juice all over little faces”

This was waaay back when you could still buy M80's and Cherry Bombs legally. I worked with a couple of idiots that liked to go fishing/drinking on a local river. If they caught a carp, they would cut a small slit in it, insert said Cherry Bombs. Light it and throw the fish back in. Then bet on whether it would swim…

Don’t need a pilot light for a still.

Same with water heaters a furnaces.

Anybody else remember a soda sold in the mid 60's called Pommac?

“For somebody like me who lives in a cloud of perpetual dust, the best part of the Pixel Fold’s design is that it shuts almost completely closed, with only a small gap around the hinge.”

I used to drink iced green tea also. And it is very tasty. But then I realized that my kidneys didn’t like it. I would pee about 5 times more than I drank. It’s worse than beer.

So, how many have you-all lived in? My count is 5.

I can add one. If your furnace starts with a WHOOF!! Especially if the walls around it shudder. Or if the pilot light keeps blowing out (well, this part is for old ones. Newer ones have an electronic igniter). Better get the heat exchanger checked TODAY! It might be cracked. Leaking carbon monoxide into your home.…

Oh, I don’t really know if I want to get rid of it. It is a bit of a conversation piece. And we had to give our guys away 2 years ago. So it’s kind of a pleasant reminder of them.

If it was up to me, we would pay all our bills online. But my wife doesn’t want the debit card number all over. So, we pay the bills that accept it through the electronic bill paying service at Walmart. For the few that don’t, we get money orders at the post office. Fill out and mail them there.
