  1. A senior citizen drove his brand new Mercedes to 100 mph, looking in his rearview mirror , he saw a police car behind him. He floored it to 140 , then 150, ... then 170, ... Suddenly he thought, "I'm too old for this nonsense !" So he pulled over to the side of the road and waited for the police car to catch up with him . The officer walked up to him, looked at his watch and said, "Sir, my shift ends in ten minutes. Today is Friday and I'm taking off for the weekend. If you can give me a good reason that I've never heard before for why you were speeding. I'll let U go." The Man looked very seriously at the police man, and replied "Years ago, my wife ran off with a policeman, I thought you were bringing her back." !!! The Cop left saying, " Have a good day, Sir"
  2. My trusty Apple IIE. The Bell and Howell edition. Also known as Darth Vader because it was all black. My son still has it. Along with both disc drives and an ember-screen monitor. I have no idea what I paid for it back then but I hope he never finds out what it's worth today because he probably won't own it long. Add-in the two original Apple disc drives and the monitor and, unbelievable: https://www.ebay.com/p/8046814097?iid=144091643604
  3. I probably saw you there . My wife and I were both raised in Monterey and, though we'd then moved to Sacramento, we went "home" for the festival. Her parents lived about 6 miles from the fairgrounds (out Hwy 68 toward Salinas) and it only took us 7 hours to get back to their house. Speaking of Jimi:
  4. She graduated from high school in 1960. I danced with her that night for the last time. By then she'd found another guy. At 9:32 I kissed her on the cheek and walked out the door. I never saw her again She was the only woman I've ever really loved. She's gone now but my memories of her and this, our last song, will live on in my heart forever.
  5. Dregs don't recognize drags?
  6. I have everything installed into P3Dv5 except 12 airports and two TE regions. What I have installed takes up 520GB.....Doug
  7. Time to resurrect The Rules: 1. The Female always makes The Rules. 2. The Rules are subject to change without notice. 3. No Male can possibly know all The Rules. 4. If the Female suspects the Male knows all The Rules, she must immediately change some of The Rules. 5. The Female is never wrong. 6. If it appears the Female is wrong, it is because of a flagrant misunderstanding caused by something the Male did or said that was wrong. 7. If Rule #6 applies, the Male must apologize immediately for causing the misunderstanding. 8. The Female can change her mind at any time. 9. The Male must never change his mind without the express written consent of The Female. 10. The Female has every right to be angry or upset at any time. 11. The Male must remain calm at all times, unless the Female wants him to be angry or upset. 12. The Female must, under no circumstances, let the Male know whether she wants him to be angry or upset. 13. The Male is expected to read the mind of the Female at all times. 14. At all times, what is important is what the Female meant, not what she said. 15. If the Male doesn't abide by The Rules, it is because he can't take the heat, lacks backbone, and is a wimp. 16. If the Female has PMS, all The Rules are null and void and the Male must cater to her every whim. 17. If the Male, at any time, believes he is right, he must refer to Rule #5.
  8. My wife wants to know if that's just the introduction.
  9. I'd love to be around to see what you think about age having anything to do with it when you're over 80 .
  10. You can install FS2020 on either the M.2 or one of the SSD's. From a performance standpoint there is no noticeable difference between the two. Nice system BTW.
  11. And remember also, it's their forum. Over the years I've had several posts deleted. To me they looked fine. And yours looked fine to you. But we wrote them so of course we'd think they are fine. But not everyone sees things the same way. What you or I think is fine and within the rules is of no importance. The moderators will make the ultimate decision as to what stays and what goes. And they do a damned fine job of it.
  12. Why do the women always look better at closing time?
  13. Glad to see it's all sorted out. Welcome to the forum(s).....Doug
  14. I've only been to one game at Chavez Ravine. And that was so long ago I can't even remember when it was. Not long after the park opened though. From where I lived it took almost seven hours to get to Chavez - it was an overnighter. But I could get to Candlestick in less than 90 minutes. I saw a lot of Giants games .
  15. I've always been a Dodgers fan also. But that fascination goes back to Ebbits field in the early 1950's. Even though I lived in California I loved the Dodgers. In Those days we could only watch The Game Of The Week on TV. That's right, only one baseball game a week was on TV. And that was on CBS. Guess who owned the Yankees back then.....yep CBS. So, we got to watch A LOT of Yankees games, as in almost every week. But my heart belonged to Pee Wee Reese, Roy Campanella, Don Newcomb and all the rest of the guys from Brooklyn. To this day I hate the Yankees .
  16. I gotta really pull hard for Dusty this time. He's the winningest manager in baseball who has never won a World Series. I think he's probably 72-73 years old now and at that age time isn't on his side. There are not a lot of years left for him to cap an incredible career. Go Astros.
  17. I just have to share this. Back in 1967-68 I coached a Little League team in Carmichael, California. One of my players (and a REALLY good one) was a kid named Victor. He had an older brother named Johnnie. And Johnnie was my batting coach. Nobody today knows who Johnnie is. But that's because he's better known by his mother's nickname for him... "Dusty". And his last name is Baker. Yes, Dusty Baker, the current Houston Astros manager, was my team's batting coach. He was a senior in high school then and was being highly recruited by many colleges and universities as well as major league baseball. I remember well his parents wanting so badly for him to go to college. But, to their credit, they let Dusty decide. He chose baseball. And a good decision it was. I still think of him often. I haven't seen him in all these years but I've closely watched his career. Go Astros.
  18. I dunno. But if I could find those babes from "back when" I'd like to find out.
  19. You don't have to buy them again. Orbx Central will install your purchased products in to P3D. You can download Central here: Central - Orbx (orbxdirect.com) .
  20. The fact that a couple of them actually wanted to have sex with me.
  21. I don't know if it's available in Australia but there's a movie called National Lampoon's European Vacation. It's a comedy about an American family's first trip to Europe. One of the best parts of the movie is seeing what happens when they encounter the roundabouts in England. Great stuff......
