You Know You Are Old When

a motherboard came in static wrap without a processor and memory chip sets cost big bucks. a 286 was a HUGE speed increase

And a 20 meg hard drive was considered huge, more space than you'd ever need!

When you call a contractor to do some roof and Ladder work.

When you call a contractor to do some roof and Ladder work.

Don't forget to include ground work. It's getting so far away I have trouble reaching it.

At least he didn't molest you as a kid.

Still doing that at 75, though it's not as easy as it once was.

Just amusing these two responses came back-to-back.

Actually, I'm happy to see an American pope for the first time, and by nearly all accounts, he seems to be the right choice.

How old are you guys? Really?
I have the larger jugs, 25L, and have no problems lifting them up for fueling.
Oh yeah!
The new MF2607 are fueled from ground level.
I made a small stand the jug sits on and all I have to do is tilt the jug into the large funnel.

Never seen a 25 litre jug.

YKYAOW:
You go to the gas station to get lawnmower gas and take 2ea 5 gal containers.
Pump 3 gallons in each because you can no longer lift and pour a full container.

Just did that with one 5 gal. container for the same reason. I use a siphon to fill a smaller gas can with an easy to use spout (No Spill 2.5 gallon). At least with that can, I get almost all of the gas onto the mower tank.

It's bigger than the 20L.
Got them at Kanuckistan Tire.

Got them at Kanuckistan Tire.

6.6 gallons and about 40 pounds.
Good exercise!

I'm 78 and I can still put a full 5 gallon can of diesel on the tailgate of my Chev silverado 4x4 with one hand, I don't know how much longer.

I buy 30 gallons at a time, then dump them in my 50 gallon cube in the pole barn.

Must be pretty tough to tilt the 50gal cube into the tractor.
