.....I'll be quietly crawling back into my hole now. I feel like an idiot for even posting my light-hearted comments. I'm very sorry to hear about those profoundly sad losses in your life. As I recall, you survived Vietnam too. What a life!
I enjoy your light-hearted comments Chris, always have - don't you dare feel like an idiot. I appreciate your thoughts, here and elsewhere. Everyone has pain of one sort or another in their lives. We can all learn from each other how to deal with them. Merry Christmas Bud!!

Can't argue with any of that. Merry Christmas to you as well! (...and thanks for the compliments! )

My wife and I are both in our eighties and get along just fine without smart phones. As to fobs going away, I guess I can always resort to using our collector cars from 1955, 1961 or 1963. Trust me, those of us who lived through the last half of the last century saw enough changes, and adapted to them, to survive reasonably well. Too bad young people today have no idea what a kinder gentler time it was to grow up in the fifties and sixties....we actually talked with each other.

Jack & David, truer words never spoken my brothers!
Chris, you're right, I've heard that. When it comes I will just quietly but begrudgingly get onboard. I'm a fast learner, try not to complain too much and in my world there is ALWAYS a way to make things, 'Jake'.
As David said (I love this man!) I survived early adversities. I survived 20 major surgeries; I have endured two heart attacks, a stroke, what was termed as terminal cancer in 2005, but all of it paled in comparison to losing my only natural child, my daughter and her husband of five years, to a drunk driver. Most of the folks here knew that in 2003.
I have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (less than 40% of the organ works), and arteriosclerosis. So, for me, every day is a gift. These forums and the folks here are a blessing. Yeah, it's ALL Jake!!
despite so more much than your share of diversities Tony......your generosity of spirit endures......jB

@perrone1 LOL...my kids shake their heads at why I don't bother to upgrade to an I-Phone. Call me Jackasaurus I guess, I'm good with that.
I agree Tony, I am grateful to have been born in 1952 and had the exposure to the greatest time in automotive history IMHO.
Copy you on that Jack. I'm a product of Richard and Lorraine and arrived in '53 😁
Loved cars and model cars since I could crawl and talk. Happy to say how proud my Dad was of me. Well of course Dad I'm smart, I got it all from you and Mom !
