I thought one of the funniest “age” statements I ever read was on a thread in this forum.
One gentleman said something like “ I can tell how old I am getting. Here I am talking about my bowel movements when the conversation used to be about sex life”.
I laughed so hard at this I choked.
But so true, so true!

Small Gatorade bottle and a pack of Wet Wipes travel with me everywhere. Had to dodge off the highway yesterday on the way home. I know all the secluded turn offs in my area. Sometimes your Ass is screaming at you...and you ain't gonna win. Just put your depends on and keep screaming down the road. Time is money pal ain't got time to stop. |

My Uncle Bill gave me that same Fix it manual when I was about 15, 1980. Pretty handy still, course all my shit is old.

I was falling timber for a living in north Idaho in the early '80s when the Spotted Owl b.s. hit the industry and killed it.
My step-dad had taught me the basics of electrical and refrigeration during the winter of '82 and I went back to Idaho and started an appliance repair business - very much winging it.
I was well known thru the 2 local communities - one of about 700 people, one 10 miles away of 1100 people - and they gave me my chance.
I bought a copy of that same Reader's Digest Fix It Yourself manual and covered it with brown paper from grocery bags to hide the cover. I carried it with me and also kept the number of a friend's dad in Spokane who'd retired from appliance repair.
Between the 2 I was able to bluff my way thru and fix most of what was thrown at me. Within a few months I was able to quit my falling job and go full time.
By early '84 the woods were nearly shut down and no one had the money to hire me, so I left and moved back to Palm Springs to go into business with my dad in his refrigeration/air conditioning business.
He didn't like paying me, so I soon went independent and branched out into commercial appliance service. The next 30 years were based on that. I did well.

Didn't have the fix it manual but definitely relied on Chilton's for vehicle repairs.

I never really Fixed cars , Didn't race them, just a way to get from here to there...But I would keep all the Girlfriends of the Shade Tree boys entertained over there at the Picnic table.
You guys were happy they weren't bitching and complaining ..let's go , Let's go while you rubbed dicks and talked Hemi's.
I was good , You were good and most importantly the Babes were Good.
Just doing my part....
