You know you're old when your mind makes a promise your body can't keep. Yes I stole that from Little Feat.



Well, off our rockers, actin' crazy
And with the right medication we won't be lazy
Doin' the old folks boogie down on the farm
Wheelchairs, they was locked arm in arm
Paired off pacemakers with matchin' alarms
Gives it jus' one more chance
To spin one more yarn

And you know that you're over the hill
Mind makes a promise that your body can't fill
Doin' the old folks boogie and boogie we will
'Cause to us the thought's as good as a thrill

Back at the home no time is your own
Facillities there, well they're all out on loan
The bank forclose and your bankruptcy shows
And your credit creeps to an all-time low
So you know that you're over the hill
When your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill, whoa

Yeah, try and get a rise from an atrophied muscle
And the nerves in your thigh just quivers and fizzles
So you know, that you're over the hill
When your mind makes a promise that your body can't fill

Ours was about 3 feet long, but always did this. It was a real PITA to fix.

Knot really. You just held it above the pinch and let the receiver spin/dangle as you walked it down with your fingers.....

You know you’re old if…

You placed pennies (or other coins, washers, slugs, etc.) on the Railroad tracks.

Dime on a penny on a nickel. All smashed into one.

There was a manufacturing plant near our RR tracks that produced steel
office desks. One day, we found a huge pile of oily 1/4” discs out back.
We figured it was left-overs from machines that punched holes for the bolts.

Anyway, we loaded our pockets with the 1/4” pieces and walked the short
distance to the RR tracks. We placed hundreds of the discs in long rows
on the rails, then ran off into the bushes and waited. Much to our delight,
a freight train pulled into the yard, flattening the discs.

After the train passed, we scooped up dozens of discs that ended up about
the size of pennies and dimes. Next, we boogied up the street to the
bowling alley and proceded to clean out the bubble gum machine and then
play pinball.

I'm always early. I call it being on Army time (10-15 minutes before the advertised time of a meeting is "on-time"). I'd rather be 30 minutes early than 1 minute late!
