Is High End Audio catchin' up with you all?

😏 I’m 70, 5’-11", 62 ish kilos per a visit to the cardio doc today.

I fit clothing that’s the same sizes essentially since HS.

I have no ’gut’ to speak of.

My ’exercise routine’ is dealing with treated lumber, typically still ’wet’ from ground contact processing. If it’s Really heavy, have the intellect to use our Bobcat to move it vs. using ’gym guys’ show muscles’ (I’d rather flex my brain instead of my back....the former learns, the latter can remind you of idiocy for weeks..).

I prefer being ’nimble’ on a lot of levels... ;)

I admit to having some....’bad habits and preferences’....that haven’t seemed to stop me in anything significant....*G*

I Do have an aortic pig & stainless steel synth valve with an onboard pacer & defib; not due to my atrocious habits, but a DNA ’kink’ that gave me a mutant 2 flap valve that finally developed ’back flow’, enough for TAVR....

(I warned the MD’s that splitting my chest would let the demons out...scary sh*t in an OR...got me out of the hospital in 3 days. as they wanted to make sure I’d take the demons with....)

What should bother y’all is that I will likely outlive the bulk of you. Let spouses and/or significant others know that I’ll make a lovely bouquet of your high-end cables for your ’new digs’ (Yes, pun on purpose) and a larger ’whip-like’ version for that person to ’antique’ your stone with.

Yup. Some of us just exist to annoy you. ;)

(Thanks for all the hand gestures and loud shouts of encouragement..._

I want to be carlsbad when I grow up.

Speaking of "good noises".   My '66 Sunbeam Tiger with hand-built 347 stroker motor sounds like a pro stocker when I get on the gas.  Music to my ears.

And, I'm 72 and still wear the same size pants as I did in my 30's.  Does that count?

Wear the same size pants as I did in high school

Me too, but about 6 inches lower...lol.

That must be a handful to drive!

Never seen a Tiger. Only a few Alpines over the years. A high school friend drove a beat up Alpine, that I loved to drive, when given the opportunity.

@waytoomuchstuff    Maxwell Smart would be SO envious. My very first car was a '67 Alpine in french racing blue...a total stripper...not even a radio. Only had it a year but I flogged it mercilessly the whole tome so probably put the equivalent of 5 years of "normal" use on it. Never once did it go in for service but, hell, what was there to break???
