There is a group of senior fellows that meet for lunch on Fridays - they all ride motorcycles and at 67 I am in the youngest one in the group.  Several of the riders are in their 80's......unfortunately the two fastest riders are showing their age and given up riding this year.

Some of them have several bikes in their garages, and at one meal they started talking about how they don't ride them enough and they worry about the batteries and freshness of the fuel.....the bikes need to be ridden more.

I offered a service to them - I could come over frequently and ride their bikes for them at no charge.  The bikes would get "exercised" and kept it top form!

One of the orneriest fellows asked if I could do the same thing for their wives!  I told him that riding motorcycles is risky - but that kind of activity is far too dangerous! Wink

Dang JOG , I thought I was the least techy guy anywhere ?   So, you think I've met my match ?

I'll have to confess that one time I did hook my Guzzi up to my computer and reset the error code.  But there was a lot of guessing going on at the time.    Embarrassed

I Used to be able to build a tower and install an operating system. But I never learned to operate a cell phone. I can Slowly reply to a text. Don't know how to initiate one. I just don't Wanna leash. When I'm on the road, far from home, I stop and ask someone if I can call home, let them know I'm still alive. I miss pay phones. I had no idea there is a way to link to a streaming TV show. The possibilities that modern technology offer are really fascinating. I'm sorry I don't know how to make finding that movie easy. It was interesting for us,because we're old enough to have enjoyed watching them. We didn't know what ever became of them, they just slowly stopped being around.
How they found actors who so closely resembled the originals I just dunno.

If you have the FreeVee app, which I Say with exactly No Understanding, hit the Search button . I figure anyone over sixty otta enjoy it.
