Re: What Do Old Farts Do After the Wrench Turning Days are Over?

Calspec, have you built yourself any racers from belt sanders and circular saws yet? Or is that more of a carpenter thing to do? I need to remember to print out some pics of those type racers I saw at a recent car show. I thought I'd show them to my dad, he might want to build himself a couple. He turned 72 last month.
I was surprised when my sis said he bought himself a quad to play in the dunes on. Guess he got tired of watching everyone else having fun on them and having to use thiers. lol

I bet there are a lot of youngsters here that could wrench circles around you, even in your "hey" day.

Where's your next tech entry Cal?

That has got to be the most ridiculous statement of untruth I have ever read.
Remember when "don't trust anyone over thirty" was the cool opinion to have? Well, I say don't trust anyone under 40.
