It's been almost 2 years since the wife and I both retired. I miss my old job but my new job, going to the gym, keeps me busy. That and my noon nap.

I wonder what happened to her diary? It was booked into evidence, then disappeared.

I like the spot light myself.

I live in a neighborhood with long time residents. Everyone seems to mind their own business, they keep their lawns manicured and their homes painted. A guy moved in down the street. He had a '55 Chevy (unfinished) in his driveway and always seemed to be working on his 4X4. I heard that he came...

My buddy, who is 74, just saw his doctor because his knee was bothering him. The doctor said he would give him 2 choices. 1 medical choice and the 2nd, his recommendation. First, he said he could give him an injection every 3 months to mask the pain or,,,,,,,Second, his opinion was, do nothing...

Never named a car. We just call it "Bob's Vette" or "Jim's Elco", etc.........

The reason why? The Vehicle Code doesn't apply to private property, any violation is a civil matter. Our Department has a form, used by the CHP called a P.D.O. ) property damage only). I hand it to the reporting party and have them fill it out. Then I add a file number.

My Dad always taught me to finish what you started so I never have unfinished projects. Each car gets finished and I don't take on another project until the last one is sold.

With the recent election, I got curious about the reason for an electoral college. I had thought, the country, in it's infancy, needed it because of the vast distances and lack of communication. Then I read the reason why the founding fathers created it. They didn't trust the people to do the...

You know, Lucas invented darkness........LOL

Just had a friend's Father who was killed in a traffic accident. Middle of the city, there's a stable where a horse got loose at 2 am. He was on his way home, hit the horse and crashed into a fence, killing him.

On some forums, I noticed some people have no regards for laws, rules or neighbors. Today, I saw an old Candid Camera, harkening back to a simpler time, where people actually read signs and obeyed them.......no matter how ridiculous. [cl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FBa89XhxcTs&feature=related

Thanks Earthman, met a lot of nice people at the gym and contests. One day, I was getting ready to lift and a guy walks in with his girlfriend. She says, "Let's do bench" and grabs the 10 lb. dumbbells. The boyfriend, who is mid 20's, 6'2", grabs the 65 lb. dumbbells and they proceed to do...

One guy in the San Fernando Valley, back in the '70's, ran a BBF in his '68 Camaro race car.

Actually, no. I've been lifting 5 days a week for the past year and a half. Since I retired, I find weight lifting, cathartic. :)

Wow, you got your monies worth. My '96 Dodge Ram only has 60K and the clear coat is coming off.

She likes to caravan on cruises with other cars and people watch at shows.

Good luck, I'm praying for you.

A little late, but I competed in June. I got the Gold Medal in the bench press, 60-64 middle weight class. I just wanted to do it once. I told my wife if I could medal, I'll never do it again. Did you know that only 10% of the population can lift their body weight? Only 1/10 of 1% can lift twice...

I only go to a fraction of the shows I use to go to. When I was working, going to shows was the break I needed to keep going. But now, the wife and I are retired and sitting around at shows isn't for me. However, there are a couple of shows that get my rev's up. Traditional Rods and Customs like...
