Well at least it's not a lemon.


I don't know about you, but I'm 62 and my body feels like it's aged decades in the last ten years. I have pains in places I didn't even know I had. :D

I'll be 62 this year, I'm trying my best to regularly exercise 3-4 times a week for 20-25 minutes, this is after decades of avoiding exercise. It's difficult, but I'm at the point that my body seems to "want it" and while I don't enjoy it I do find that I feel much, much better after words. FWIW I have my bike set up on a resistance stand and pedal gradually increasing the difficulty and use free weights at the same time, it's a good low-impact workout.

love it George!

Here is mine. Excuse the melon. :D
I just gently placed the hat on and took a quick selfie when it arrived.
I’m lousy at selfies.

old Italian family up the road when I was growing up, the parents and an unmarried daughter.
The Dad had an immaculate EH Holden (1964), black over black. After the parents passed the daughter still had the EH and drive it as her only car. I used to glance longingly (and longly :laugh:) at that car. Then one day I came past and there was a Mitsubishi Magna turning into her driveway! Horror of horrors the EH had been traded. It was probably close to 20yo by then. I had often thought of asking her for first option if she was ever to sell it... but never did.
It probably got turned into a street machine being a very popular model for that. It looked something like this model (1:1 model looks better)

it is worth doing the cataracts. I see better after than I ever did beforehand.

I’ve got a bad eye with other issues and the worst cataract is in the good eye. My ophthalmologist has been putting off wanting to do it because of that. But it’s nearing time to do it.

I feel like it totally could have been!!!! We do have some of the most ridiculous cars around here. :roflmao: :laugh: :roflmao:
The interesting one here lately has been a silver Lamborghini that's running around. I pulled up next to him at a red light the other day and all I could think was "Bellevue is that way dude....." :laugh:
