You know you're getting old when.... doing a 20Hz to 20kHz frequency sweep on an R2R, monitoring it with speakers, and the dB meter shows +- 2dB for both channels but you no longer hear the high frequency tones very well or at all.
I had a good run, 72 now. Everything else still works.

Either that or chili was served in the cafeteria for lunch.
Chili that can untarnish a penny as good as new.
A penny that can wreak havoc in the giant Hobart food disposal Sarlacc pit much to the chagrin of blue-haired women in tight white dresses. -

Ken, it came at a very opportune time for me to use. You always are out there with your pics.
Today February 6, my best friend is 87 years old. He got the picture in an email with a birthday wish.(Sent it to my best friend of 53 years. His name is Orville Madison "last name" Jr. )
Told him, I ordered one for both of us.
His reply:
I really appreciate it but I already have one. Brand new in original box. My damn shoulders are so bad that if I got it over my head I'd have to wear it all day.
