huh???? did the sixties end??? It's still '67 in my life!!!!

I like the same cars, do cookouts with the neighbors, trust people, pick up hitchikers, listen to the Beach Boys, Jan & Dean, and the rest.

I consider family as my #1 priority, rarely use a calculator, and do my designing on a drafting table.

Though I must admit it's almost impossible to find bell bottoms and tie-dyed shirts anywhere!!!!

I suppose I've latched on to "the new" that seems good to me but just said no thanks to the rest. Heck, I even catch myself saying yes sir, thank you, and please among a wide variety of other old fashioned phrases!!!! Heck, I even have a pony tail, a pocket watch, and go to mass on Saturday night (Sundays are for drag racing).

Yup, still the sixties around here!!!!!!!

Good show Vara4 , put it in my favorites. I am in the oldest catagory on this forum,I was 25 married w/2 kids when you were born. I have seen it all and been there done that.Formal Education in my era and area ( Applachian Tn) was not promoted. It took me married w/2 kids to realize that I was not going to make it unless I had something to build on. I got a break and was accepted into a Tool & Die Apprenticeship and the rest is history. My avatar is the car I had when I got married in 59. Those were the good times like was stated , until the late 60's.

Things that stand out are things that I was involved in, the ball typewriter at IBM the first cell phone covers built in my shop for Motorola (boy were they big).

Building Robotics for the automotive industry was probably the most enjoyment of my life.

As I age it is satisfying to see the younger kids still involved in rods and classics.
