You Know You Are Old When

Yep. And full engine rebuilds every 1/2 mile.

And it only turns a total of about 500 revolutions from startup, burnout, and the race. The race only takes about 250 revolutions in 1000'.

I've still got 8 pairs of my heavy warm socks I used for coonhunting in 1980. They are the only old clothes I have that still fit.

I've got a few T- or sweat shirts that go back 20 or so years, but that's about it. And they're pretty much relegated to being "grub" clothes. All my pants from back then seem to have shrunk in the wash.

I probably have 2-300 t-shirts stored away. Some from high school. Of course, I can't fit in them anymore. I just like the designs, logos, etc...

A few I liked the design, from the 1970s. I picked a sunny day, put them on a cardtable outside, t shirt flattened so image was straight. Took an accurate straight focused picture, sent copy to stickermule.com
They printed it on a new XXL t-shirt.

Damn... wish I'd had that idea with a few, long-since turned to rags.

Yeah…because pulling 100 pounds is soooo useful in a truck.

Maybe not a skinny 100 lbs., but 125 lbs. and 36x24x36 would be worth impressing. Posting for my son.

When you meet a new clerk at the store and she is 1/3rd your age, but you feel something any way. Something primal. And yet, that gets controlled, cause you ARE Really an OLD Man. An Old Married man. Still, it feels good sometimes, to sense the little hit of attraction, or remembrance of a younger time.

Make that 20,000 pounds plus and then see.

An old crusty truck driver that worked for me back on the 70s said that a truck only has enough power if it can pull 100,000 lbs up a 10% grade at 100 mph.

Yep, those old fabrics shrink after so many washes.
That's my story and I'm sticking with it.
