Actually by the mid sixties Triumph finally switched their cars to negative ground...so they're both neg. But my first car, a '61 TR3, was positive ground.

Interesting. My newest bike is a 1971 Norton and it's positive ground.

The first time that I heard an instrumental KISS song in an elevator was the day that I realized that I was old for the first time.

I'm still trying to figure out what a Dolby Atmos and an Oculus Rift are. Are either of them like a Kardashian, and why should anyone keep up with it?????

There goes that brain freeze again. There was a recent car commercial with classic rock background music. Zep? Aerosmith? It will come to me eventually. And it wasn’t Seger “Like A Rock” Chevy commercial.

Was it released on 8-track or vinyl? I will then know whether to keep one foot on your lawn or completely GTFO.
Cassette. 😬

You know that in 1958, an American: Van Cliburn, won Tchaikovsky piano competition in Moscow.
The Russian officials asked Nikita Khrushchev for approval before announcing it.

I remember years ago Cadillac used Led Zeppelin's "Rock And Roll" in their commercials. That's one of my favorite Zeppelin tunes. Needless to say I was very sad to hear that. Now it's done all the time and with many of the good ol' songs.

Hahaha.... post what where? I forget.

As I recall you and I are within a few months in age. We have a few good years left in us! 😁

It was a high-rise hotel in Boston, where I was sent for a business conference. I can't remember the name off the top of my head, but it was the hotel where the Texas Rangers were staying when they were in town to play the Red Sox. One of my female colleagues was going ga-ga over the players in the hotel's bar.....

This morning I woke up and heard a click from my knee as I got out of bed. I turned to the other half and said: "I'm not old I'm crispy."

I bought a 25-pound weighted blanket and duvet cover yesterday, because it will supposedly help me to sleep better. Let me tell you, it really works! I was so tired from lugging that 25-pound monster into the bedroom and unfolding it that I slept great, and this afternoon's (failed) attempt to wrestle that heavy beast into the duvet cover knocked me out for a two hour nap.

FWIW, I *still* have not actually used the blanket as a blanket yet.....

My wife sleeps with one of those weighted blankets. She really likes it.
