I went to bed.

Okay, what did I miss?

Some faint recollections of drugs, sex and rock 'n roll is all I got.

Until 1968, I was an insufferable little prig, president of a local church youth group. Then in '68, I was conscripted. First time I saw weed was in Malaysia in '69; Buddha sticks (1oz) were $1 . I'm allergic; I throw up and hallucinate on weed. If youse wanted sex, youse had to pay for it, with a better than even chance of getting the clap. A medic who treated that complaint, such an experience held no allure for me. When I got home, it was 1970. I actually did a lot of drinking and rooting in that decade . Got married in '79 and that was the end of that. As for the fashions; the less said about them the better ---relating that I once fell off my platform shoes and hurt myself pretty much says it all.

I used to be able to pick up an assembled small block Chevy short block (block, crankshaft, rods and pistons, cam, timing chain and gears) unassisted and put it in the back of a truck. That's ~325 pounds, nearly twice what I weighed (170) at the time. And there are no convenient handles. My bad lower back and hemorrhoids are a testament to that activity. Man, those were the days! Now I weigh 40 more pounds and can hardly pick up a 60 pound sack of concrete mix. The older I get, the better I was.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

During the 80's and 90's I spent about six weeks of each spring harvesting firewood from my land and stacking it near the house. My favorite hobby was building stone retaining walls. When autumn came around, I brought the firewood into the cellar (up to five cords) a wheelbarrow at a time. I heated my house solely with firewood until about 2014, when I realized I was past the age for that sort of thing. It was during the early 1990's that I started my caterpillar farm, which also entailed a lot of work. Nowadays, my activities are pretty much relegated to reading, watching movies and playing Mahjong.
