Awesome!

Just got back from taking an extended spin in Agatha (Austin Healey 100-M) and as I was cruising Rt. 66 I was suddenly struck by the following:

Here I am in a 1956 car, with a 1950 Hopalong Cassidy watch on my wrist, plugged into an IPod Touch listening to the big bands of the 30's and 40's. I spanned two centuries. How cool is that!!

 

[DrEntropy]

CLASSIC!!!


In every sense.


You have a Hopalong Cassidy watch?!?!?


I'm SOOOOO jealous!!!


Topper was my wish and dream as a kid. Until I came face-to-face with an actual HORSE. Highly intimidating to a six-year-old.

200 years???

1900s and 2000s. But then I could do the same by jumping into a 1996 Toyota Camry. Only I'd be bored and frustrated and I wouldn't have a Hopalong Cassidy watch.

It's just "Fuzzy Math" Tony!

 

[tony barnhill]

Well, heck, using 'fuzzy' math <span style="font-weight: bold">I</span> span 2 centuries!

 

[DrEntropy]

...as do we all, as do we all. :wink:

 

[judow]

Geez guys, have a heart. You all know what I mean - 20th Century and 21st Century.

Quick story on the Hopalong Cassidy watch. As I kid we played cowboys and indians and not being the quickest of the lot, Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Dale Evans were always taken first and it seemed nobody ever said Hopalong, so after a while I was always Hopalong. Thus the watch. Got it on E-bay and paid way too much. Nostalgia and memories can be expensive.

Oh well. :wink:

 

[tony barnhill]

:lol:I know...hehehe....I was just joshing ya!

Preaching to the choir there, yep! We all own LBC's.

 

[DrEntropy]

I laud your tenacity.

...and your tolerance.

In my own defence, I always thought Hopalong was the best of the bunch. I had a Hopalong Cassidy lunch-box.

Sky King was the other one I thought was tops.

 

[judow]

:lol: Good thing for you because we ladies should never get our knickers in a twist because you guys pay the price....

 

[judow]

"Sky King was the other one I thought was tops."

Also think he created an interest in aviation for me. Took lessons and met my husband. He was the Flight Instructor. Said he didn't want to put a woman up in the air so he married me instead. Hmmm, maybe he should have let me continue on to get my license???? He was kidding, honest. Never did get my license but fly with husband as often as I can. All I ever wanted to do was take a plane off the ground, leave the field, and return all in one piece. Did that many times, single engine only.

Ghees, is that too much information????

 

[DrEntropy]

I got my indoctrination in Cessna 150's with stall buzzers screamin' at age 16. Didn't know any better back then...

Spirals into th' sun in Citab(o)reas, goofy unlucky near misses in UH-1's, SAR and AC-130 missions in SEA... I wake up every day and consider it "overtime".

And if I can drive a two-seater piece of Euro-trash too-and-fro as a "commuter" I consider it a priveledge.

Life is AMAZING!!! :laugh:

Hoppy!

Here I am at age 4 or so (1954)

 

[bugimike]

Geesh Mickey! I got a pic like that somewhere too, AND a Davy Crockett get-up as well!

 

[judow]

You are just way too cute....

 

[Mickey Richaud]

You are just way too cute....

Not any more!

 

[judow]

:lol: :lol:

 

[judow]

:shocked: Oh my, oh my, oh my. Me thinks you are a minister. Sorry about the 'lol'.

Well, maybe not really...

Laughing at a man of the cloth will get you a visit from the Prince of Darkness, Mr Lucas. I'd guess even Mickey wouldn't be able to save you.
