My son was brutally skinny in HS - wrestled 103 his frosh year, then 112, then 135 (after he started lifting), and finished at 152, in 1995. Now almost 30 years later, he's still about the same weight and still lifts (with his 2 boys who are on the same varsity HS team this year, a frosh at 106...

I too wrestled all 4 years of HS (95, 95, 103, & 112) and then 2 years in college at 118. So I lived on a scale for 6 years, finished school at 130, and am now 160.

I got tons of these slot car sets all through the 60's, loved them all, and still have most pf them.

Why I still way prefer foreign assembled cars. I want nothing to do with UAW made ones.

It is hardly `penny pinching' when someone as long retired (23+ years) as I, can easily afford something I can do myself and actually find doing it entertaining and fun, so I do it every year myself for zero $. I was merely responding to those here (like the OP) complaining about the expense of...

Same here. I never understand why people pay anything to get their taxes done when they can print out the forms, fill them in themselves, keep a copy for their own records, and mail them in for free (except the cost of a couple stamps, of course).

I've been retired for 23 years, and with my wife's pension, our SS's, and the tiny amount we've needed to supplement those from our IRA's, we've had to cut back on absolutely nothing. Life is good for we retirees!

We loved our 04 Murano (the 2nd year of Muranos, and we had the sport version that was only offered for a very short time), and kept it for 17 years until giving it to our daughter last year. I had heard there were issues with Nissan CVT's - especially the early ones like we had - but ours...

Just turned 70 and am still racing these. Does that count as not slowing down yet?https://www.early-retirement.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=36822&stc=1&d=1606265227

Retired at 49, 20 1/2 years ago. No going back to work for me!

11 years ago (in 2009, and 10 years after I retried when I was 49) I restarted my childhood kart racing hobby. Since then, I've done a variety of sprint and enduro karting events (mostly rental - arrive-and-drive karting, up to22 each year) at a number of tracks along the east coast. At an 8...

I got to ride on the wall of death sitting on the gas tank of a motorcycle at an upstate NY county fair when I was 9.

Exactly - `Gas, grass or ass, nobody rides for free.'

Also lucky to get to see all 3 of these These were basically all free, since I volunteered to work a High School food stand at the stadium. Unfortunately, Pink Floyd was performing without Roger Waters in the 90's...

Fortunate to get to this one in 68... http://www.early-retirement.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=31169&stc=1&d=1554905782

You just quickly learn to avoid the commuter lane at rush hour.

Isn't that an oxymoron? Wouldn't a `good job' have `good pay' by definition?

I made the switch from Nissans to Bimmers in retirement. Didn't feel I really needed to go the M route, but my sport version 335xi with red leather and MT is pretty close.

As our great president Bill Clinton once said - `It's just math.' When the math (including a few reasonable assumptions, of course) supports it, you retire. It's really THAT simple.

How about the auto brake drying feature on our later model bimmers these days? I know my F30 has that.

No spare here either. (BMW 335xi)

I've recently seen a guy here in the US whose name is Rafael, and he's been calling himself `Ted' trying to convince Americans he is from here too! So maybe `Ed' was legit?

Why not just rotate them yourself? In a little more than the time it took to type this post, I do my own tire rotations in my driveway (or garage if it's raining out. Of course then, I usually just wait for the next sunny day). Life's way too short to waste time driving to a tire store, waiting...

I put this Carrera GO (1/32) layout together for the grandkids when they were here visiting a couple months ago!
