This is SO COOL. We are all the same age. I LOVE THIS. We can all certainly relate...hehehe. I am tickled to death to hear this.
There are at least five of us who turn 56 this year. Ret, Pop, Bronze, Hula, and KK. Any others?

Oh now you're talking. That is from back in the dayyyy dear. I loved Steely Dan!

Ah, the sweet pop and hiss of the ole LP's. New cartridge/stylus installed and playing that crisp, clear tone that nothing can match. I may weep.

Beloved ol' conch shell at the top right. And Steely Dan on the spin.

I think Chak turns 57 this year. So did GT wherever the hell he went to. LA and Robin right behind. April not much behind that. Then Dust. Pap has all of us beat. He's older than dirt. Bridge is a pup and Always the puppiest. That's what makes Always special. Nice to have some youth!!!

Oh this is just cool I am tickled to death hearing all this. Retic, you are one lucky dog. The guys who helped with this deal, put one heck of a smile on my face. BK, you are something else, I'll tell ya that. I did my weekly maintenance on my Woodvil this evening. It is kicking some big time buhtocks...lol. I had to use pc language, but what they heck. You all know what I meant. I am still smiling. Oh, I know how to spell that word, but I made a phonetic spelling for y'all. The word I was thinking was 3 letters. HAHA.

Story Tyme : I overspent and tried to move a couple of Woodvils to some of our friends here on the Big Thread who might not be as active in the Work Market as I am. I know Gary has mentioned wanting a Reos, but unfortunately now was not a good time for him.
So, I contacted Scot via Conversation, and asked if he could help. I didn't know that he was willing to help as much as he did, but he definitely came through for Gary.
This is the mod Gary received today, with a very special helping hand from Scot :

I like people from all ages. There are so many of us close together like that though. My best friends here are younger than me. They can't relate to some of the stuff I may say, or music, and stuff like that. I knew some of us were close in age...but so many this close in age? Wow.

Retic, that Purple Heart Woody is a pure knock out alright. It fits your hand like a freaking glove. Since I got mine, it is my number 1. I can't keep my hands off that mod for very long. I'm telling ya, you are gonna love it. I'm not sure about that atty, as I've never tried it. I have the Derringer clone on my Woodville. It is sweeeeet. I can't wait to hear what you think of this. I almost teared up too, when I read the story. Wow. I'm so happy for Retic. :thumbs:

So Always is the youngest, then Bridget, and then just us "middle aged" folks huh? Well we have some new people popping in. Maybe we will get more age variance then.

Yes, I am older than dirt. When I was young, rocks were still soft and the Dead Sea was just sick.

Actually, I turned 56 about 6.5 years ago.

Now, all you young pups remember to respect your elders.

Lori, you're in Las Vegas and you've got a fireplace. The last time I was in Vegas in the summer, I think a roaring fire would have lowered the ambient temperature.

Turned 53 earlier this year. Still young enough to have fun, and old enough not to care. ;)

It's true! Gonna be about 109 highs all week. I thought it was a bit silly to have it. But I'm told it does get chilly here at night in the winter. The fireplace is really just an electric space heater. Kitschy!

welll looks like Retic is now a proud owner of a Reo... he was speachless at first and then realized what was in the bubble wrap and then shock set in.... he was even more speachless... and then the words came... but those cant be repeated here ;)

@Bronze.. love it that 39 is a pup..
Busy weekend, helped a friend move and unpack today; also got to visit with a high school classmate for a couple of hours. Congrats on the Reo Retic. I have successfully made it 7 months without any new hardware. I like it.

    Hi Bridget! I'm so glad you're getting some time here and there to stop in. You are missed around here! You are also a wonderful friend to help with a move, and even with unpacking. :)

    39 is a pup. And my 40's were my best decade up to that point of my life. So far the 50's are pretty awesome too. Phooey on all who say it's downhill from here. So not true.
