Yup.

Lots of short eMail and posts, to keep on base with folks.

I hear my Sears order is going to be arriving at the train station - this week.

Times sure have changed.

The first computer I used was called FADAC and it was to compute artillery solutions.  It was huge compared to the current computers and somewhat slow.  I had some Fire Direction folks that could even beat out the FADAC once in awhile on regular fire missions, but not the other technical things we used like metro message computing.

I remember having to distribute my reports at work to several people using multiple layers of carbon paper...really messy and felt sorry for the person who received the bottom copy..hard to read. 

Here's another...Huge adding machines that had many buttons that had to be manually depressed. There was one in the office that took up half of the desk and had to be shared by everyone in the office.  If it wasn't working (which was common), we had to figure everything out with a paper and pencil...so much for accuracy!  No such thing as calculators or computers back then,

I remember back when you had to do math on your fingers and toes. Everythign was built and constructed by estimations and doing it the same way 1000 times.

But if evolution has taught us anything, change is always good, as long as we keep changing.

When I was a young boy at home, I had to cut the grass with a pushmower that had dull blades. 

HAHAHAHA yes I remember those days!

Luckily I've had some form of grazer at my property for most my life, except when I was young.

I think I used to be taller.

With better eye-sight.

And, no limp...

Sporting BRIGHT red hair, with no gray or white.
