When you would rather watch T.V. Shows from the 60’s and 70’s versus what is on these days. They seemed to have more substance. I love me some Perry Mason.

We have a digital antenna ( free tv ) and there are channels strictly for that age of shows. I can sit and watch hours of that stuff before I can choke down 5 mins of modern junk.

I forced my kids to watch 3 episodes of THE MUNSTERS the other day and they all just didn’t get it

My first collar bone break bicycles.
I moved to motorcycles. Talk about broken bones. They thought my parents were abusing me. I broke that many bones

My last broken bone ( clavicle ) was on my Supermoto at 54 years old.

I wore this to a show and some kid with his dad asked me…Hey mister? Did you buy that shirt or did you go to it? “I bought it at the show” He said holy poop. You’re soooo lucky. Lol. He was 15. I have them all. I only wear this one.(Just the main stage)

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time! I grew up watching Baretta and his trusty side kick Fred too.

We were talking about those the other day at work, most of the guys were just staring with blank expressions.

The other day we were cleaning out our office desk draws and I found my old 3 1⁄2 inch floppy disks from when I studied. I was explaining to my son that this is what we used before we could burn to a CD. I explained that this was a small one, we also had 5 1⁄4 inch floppy disks and Zip drive disks. I then thought for a minute and had to ask, "you do know what a CD is don't you?"

A few years back we were cleaning out a warehouse that had some of the owners stuff from a previous business, and ran across a bunch of 12" floppy's. The drives looked like toasters. I remember when you were hot stuff if you had an Iomega Zip Drive. I loved those things.

Also do you remember 80mm mini cd's.

My first digital camera was a Sony Mavica that used floppy discs, then when it came out we upgraded to the Mavica that used the mini Cd's.

There use to be 16" memory discs (metal) platters WAY Way Before my time..
The drive units that used those looked like knocked over file cabinets with a glass window. I saw one back around 2000 at an architect firm.. it was decommissioned of course. But they kept them around in the back office.. a guy there told me it was from the late 1960s or so..
