NOT "You might be a redneck when," but rather...



You might be getting old when…

  • You tend to grunt when you have to bend over to pick up something.
  • You squat down and have trouble getting back up without someone/thing to help you.
  • You find an errant finger, or your hand, moving back and forth on your lap, for no apparent reason.
  • You have to take a Prevacid every morning or you will get heartburn by the end of the day.
  • You second-guess yourself a lot.
OK, those were for me. 😀
  • You worry too much about running low on those "little blue pills."
Yeah, that one was for our beloved Snowy. 😜

Give us some more examples of the vagaries of old age.  And do you suffer from any of them?

The MonoRacer 130E Fully Enclosed Motorcycle Aims to Redefine Personal Mobility

The MonoRacer 130E Fully Enclosed Motorcycle Aims to Redefine Personal Mobility Elena Gorgan The idea of making something that would be halfway between a bicycle or motorcycle and a car is not new; after all, the advantages of such a vehicle would be many for a large segment of the market. In the Czech Republic, inventor, fabricator and full-time pilot Arnold Wagner has been making one such vehicle since the late ‘80s. Since 2009, with a new partner, he launched the  PERAVES CZ  company, and they’ve been putting out these cabin-motorcycles dubbed MonoRacer since then. They probably haven’t sold more than a couple of hundred of them (90 of which were made before the 2009 partnership), but that could change as early as this month. As it turns out, PERAVES CZ has made an electric version of the MonoRacer, called the MonoRacer 130E, and it is now in the process of receiving EU-certification.

My answer: Nearly everyday.   Sub question: What do you feel depressed about? My answer: World affairs. Anybody who isn’t depressed about the status quo of the world isn’t all there, if you ask me, but... . That must have been the magic trigger because I got transferred to three different groups after that: a suicide prevention hotline, then psychiatric counseling, then som...
