The Original Old Farts Club

[Hippie420]

Snuck over and cleaned my favorite neighbor's yard this afternoon. Took a 12X24 tarp with me so as not to burn the tires off of my MDD. You could only make a 80' pass before I had to dump it.
Got the tarp loaded, hooked the Frankendeere up to it, and proceeded to rip the gromlets outta the tarp. ****. Tied the rope around one end and snapped the rope. ****. Went back home and grabbed the Kubota and a tow chain. Wrapped the chain around the wound up end of the tarp and put the Kubota in turtle. It came home to my compost pile. The Old Hen came out to help me roll it onto the pile. Nope. Had to take the FEL and roll it. Got another half a load on top. Her Maples hadn't fully dropped yet, but I figured there'd be less if I got the lion's share of 'em today.

Pat is 83, and I know things like that get to her. Figured I'd better hit it before she got out there with a rake.

Morning old fogies. I feel like an old fogie this morning. Went to a concert last night. There was no where to sit down so my whole lower body is stiff as f@$%. Funny...They don't make metal fans like they used to , there was a bunch of Soy boys there. Back in the day I woulda been kicking all these kids ***** in the pit. lol
I don't get into the pit anymore, but I did have to throw a couple of people around last night..hate to say it but it felt great. I'm just paying for it this morning.

As an old ass retired Outlaw, I have no desire for bars or crowds anymore. Had my fill of parties and ppl. I like my privacy. Besides I can't stand the smell of cigarette smoke anymore. Makes me cough just thinking about it. Haven't been drunk in over 20yrs and I drink beer every day. And I would rather shoot a mother fker than fight. Too old and I still have my real teeth and would like to keep it that way.

I used to love going to concerts, now I can't stand the crowds. Not being able to walk without a walker or a scooter it's not a good place to be. Besides the tickets here are outrageous in price. I can take the money for 2 tickets and go out to eat and have a lot of money left over.

 

[Blaze-one]

Exactly ! used to go to concerts , maybe a small club now.

 

[Hippie420]

I can lay longer than I can stand. I can stand longer than I can sit. I can walk longer than I can stand or sit. Gotta love herniated discs and severe cervical and sciatic nerve damage....

 

[Blaze-one]

Man, I'm not the only one with Cervical and lumbar goin' on.

Man, I'm not the only one with Cervical and lumbar goin' on.

Not by a stretch! In 2019, 39% of US adults had back pain, with the greatest severity amongst the over age 65 crowd.

At age 81 it is currently my worst bete noire!

 

[Blaze-one]

I can appreciate, bro. I'm 69, and fit in the over 65 crowd for sure.

 

[WeedHopper]

I'll be 69 in February.

Ahh, 1955; a vintage year for Chevys and Hippies.

I am close but still retired

 

[Blaze-one]

Hippie, are you born vintage like me. you like Canned heat ? savoy brown.
Yes, Marijan, as for me, retired at 65.

 

[Hippie420]

Grew up on the stuff! MC5, Mitch Ryder, Segar, Grand Funk RR, Nugent, Cooper; seen 'em all more times than I've got fingers and toes. ? & The Mysterians would be pissed at me if I didn't mention them. I used to do some amature roadie work for 'em. Got paid in T shirts and Peruvian marching powder. His head roadie got married in my front yard at the old ranch, and Q rode in the procession in my side hack on the FLT.

 

[Blaze-one]

Great, Yea MC5, Cooper saw him about 4 times. Ever heard of Rob Noll ?

 

[Blaze-one]

my bud Ara told me about Noll, saw him back then a lot.

 

[Hippie420]

Nope. Can't say I have. You remember a group called Mutzie? They had a bass player that looked and sounded like Jimi Hendrix. Dude was good. Only saw them a few times at Sherwood Forest. Wonder what ever happened to 'em?

[Blaze-one]

Interesting, No, but Jimi is a favorite.
