    Offense taken! Seriously, 50 is not that old as far as using technology. The first computers came out when we were about to graduate from High School. The video game phenomenon started in the early 80's. I would be more surprised if the 50's age group were not on here.

    True, but access is a huge issue. You can get a computer,tablet, nice TV, and cell phone for under a grand in 2018. How much would that have cost you in highschool? Only those better of had access back then, Then by the time it was more readily available they already reached a point in their life that they've gone so long without it that they convinced themselves they dont need it(because they really dont). At least I know thats my dads logic.

    It was not affordable for most when I was in High School. But that was a long, long time ago and anyone who has not given technology a chance by now can't use the excuse of affordability. Technology in libraries is free! Some people will find every excuse not to participate in....(fill in the blank). At some point it becomes less about the challenge of technology and more about choices.

    Edit: No offense was take regarding this post or any previous post!

    My parents are 76 and they check their email everyday and they also get on FB to keep up family members and their friends. I do have to show them how to do somethings from time to time but they are pretty tech savvy for their age.

    Once I found my white Tacoma in the 10-16" of white snow I used the snowblower , shovel , broom to dig it out. This was in the driveway. Drifts up to 16" going to the shed in the back yard.. Couldnt get to the road as the town as usual gave me another 3ft of snow at the end of the driveway to deal with.
    Connecticut in the winter time. Sometimes it looks like a Hallmark card sometimes it looks like the city dump.
    Today I got a little of both.

    As a 71 year old young person if you meet me you would think my hair is white. Nope. It' off brown.

    I'm in my younger 50's and I'd love to even have hair.

    $1,200 - the cost of my first Apple II+ in 1980. I have to give props to my parents, who somehow knew I would use this thing to manage the family business and eventually build a career. They were mostly hoping I wouldn't just play video games all day (which I did sometimes)
    Anyone remember Wizardry?

    Thread content - I'm thinking about drilling the front frame extensions and adding some LEDs down there this weekend. They would be about the same height as my wife's Honda Accord foglights, so I think that could work. I pulled the extensions out last week and it's super easy to remove them. I can run the wires inside the tube for protection. Crazy idea or not?

    Added some steps for the wife and some ditch lights for the trails. Shout out to @CaliRaisedLed for the brackets, @RigidIndustries for the lights, @ch4x4 for the custom button, and @runningboardwarehouse for the steps! Already looking forward to getting it dirty again.
