Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Co-worker has the vintage habit. He buys broken stuff, and makes it go again. He's pretty good.

I had a small Harmon Kardon tube integrated amp that I bought at a Connecticut Goodwill store back in the 80s. It finally broke down two years ago.

I'm recovering from surgery to repair a torn labrum in my left shoulder. I injured it in an accident last July. Hopefully, when all this is done, I'll be able to ride without pain.

There were some great things about growing up in the 70s, but I certainly wouldn't trade 70s technology for today's.
