60+ year old thread.

They don't make them like that anymore Jim. A friend of mine just retired last year from the Jersey National Guard as a CSM after 39 years service. He's enjoying life now.

X2 Charlie...I had plenty of good experiences and at times, even enjoyed some of my times in the USN.

Here is a picture of my friend from his retirement party. He is on your right.

 

Bought a new 2014 Pre Runner. Only the second new vehicle I have ever purchased!
I am loving it!

 

Congratulations on your purchase. This is the 60+ thread. Are you an old fart?

 

Congratulations on the new Tacoma. Welcome to the thread...always something going on here...great group of people that drop in. Enjoy.

 

Hope the pain goes away real soon Charlie.

 

OMG! All those negative things we were exposed to!
Oh! forgot. 15 walleyes tonight, and a bonus brown trout about 20"!
Yea; I know --- pics. I even bought another digital camera to take along fishing, but don't carry it most of the time.

 

Welcome to the over 60 thread. My brother and his family live in Cary, Containment Area for Relocated Yankees.

 

Glad you finally got some relief from the pain Charlie. Enjoy the jam session but don't overdo it

 

Oh noes! The PC police will be here soon I guess. For me, 'child's brain trapped in an adult's body' is probably more correct. Glad you had some decent sleep for a change; that by itself can make a world of difference in recovery.

My amp was a Fender Super Reverb. Don't remember the wattage. It had 4 10" speakers. Sound was super clean but it didn't have the earbleed output levels of the Marshalls the rock groups favored in those days.

 

So the wife wants a Keurig coffee maker for Christmas. Started looking 2 days ago and decided to get a K75 machine. This is a lot tougher than expected. Seems Keurig is going to a newer system that reads imbedded ink, similar to what is on paper currency in the USA, so they can get royalties from other coffee makers that want to package the coffee in K Cups.

Amazon is the only place I could find the machine with a guaranteed delivery at $189.99.

Keurig K75 Platinum Single-Cup Home-Brewing System with Water Filter Kit, One Size, Silver/Platinum

Retailers such as Bed Bath & Beyond and Kohl's are not selling them on line but said to check the store for availability. Went over to Kohl's at noon and they had the machine for $95.99. They had two in stock, now there is only one.

I am a happy boy!

Forgot to add that the price is good for today only.

 

Congratulations on a successful, frugal purchase!

My son and his wife gave us a Keurig last Christmas. We returned it for credit and got some other stuff for the house. I guess we're weird, but both my wife and I would rather brew a potful. First of all we grind our own beans; I know Keurig has a gizmo for that but it looks like a hassle to use. Second, we both like our coffee the same way (black) and with the same flavorings (none). We share a pot of coffee in the morning and that's it for the day. It's very rare that we just want one cuppa.

 

Glad to hear you had a peaceful night, Charlie!! Hopefully you are on the mend..until your next round..and then on the mend for good after that!!

Afternoon, all!! Had a Board meeting for the college trustees yesterday - kept us busy as did a visit by the team chief for our upcoming accreditation review. I m ready for a vacation!!

 

About the same here Dave but the wife wants one for Christmas so you know how that goes. I picked up a reusable basket as well since I like Kona Coffee for an afternoon pick me up. This Keurig is supposed to be able to heat water to 197° for brewing. We shall see. Coffee should be in excess of 195° when brewing to extract the full flavor of the ground bean.

 

^^^ That sounds like an awesome time, and takes me back to my garage jammin' days.

 

Good morning all. I hope everyone had a good night. No words of wisdom, just a busy day ahead.
