Well, well, I can still do this.. (New Clyde)
Sad but true... so anxious am I to get out on a bike I pulled my wifes 1997 Murray 15 speed in mint condition....(wonder why?) out of storage. I lubed and adjusted it and rode it about 8 miles. Bike is way to small for my 5'10" 260 pound self. The seat post is at it's limit, rigid forks, derailer I never heard of.. LOL Bike says it was made in TN in the good ol USA. Probably the last cheap bike that was. It carried my fat self down some easy trails through a couple fields, and on pavement. I can still ride adequately (never had to push it!) so I can't wait for a bike that fits. Leaning towards a Jamis SX due to budget.
Here's the poor Murray Womens: (I hosed it off so she wouldn't yell at me.)

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Congrats ACD!
You know, they say that bicycle riding is like... riding a bike! ;-) Glad you re-found something you enjoy!
