Yea, even though one day should be the same as the other, when you don't have a specific place to be it is sometimes hard to keep track. Thursdays and Fridays are my biggest problem. For some reason I always think that it is Friday when it is Thursday. Not sure, at my age, why I want to throw away any days, but, it happens often.

This past week the Thursday Holiday completely threw off my mental stability. I honestly had to look at my phone and check the date against a calendar to establish, for sure, what day it actually was. Thursday seemed like Saturday, Friday was Sunday and then all of a sudden it was Saturday again. It didn't help that I had an unusual week, activity wise. Had that biopsy on Tuesday, Had the golf outing with my grandkids on Wednesday, then it was the 4th which was inactive, but, it seemed like it should have been. Friday I constantly had to remind myself that it wasn't Sunday and then, of course, along came Saturday, which should have been Monday. Can you see the dilemma that inflicts on old, antiquated brain cells. Just so you know.... all that confusion is worth the fact that I don't have to go to work 5 days a week.:p

I’m just tryin’ to console myself with the fact that I only worked 3 days last week and will only work 4 this week...!!!!! :hilarious:

@Rista1313 I kill one pair of sandals each summer at the very least, so don't feel too bad. I don't dare tell you how long my sneakers last;)

I bought a pair of sandals from a shop in Saigon. They were hand made and the sole was make out of a car tire. I had those for years and years. I cannot even begin to convey how comfortable those were. The leather strapping finally gave out after almost constant wear for about 20 summers. I have looked and looked and have never found any even close to being like them since. I have no desire to go back to Vietnam to see if the shop is still there. ;):)

Too funny...!!!!! :hilarious:
I remember the tire tread sandals trend from way back when...even some of the first ones, where the soles were actual tire treads...!!! :)
Then, so many companies just started stampin’ out rubber/plastic soles with a tire tread recess in them...lame... :bored:;)

I have worn my Teva sport sandals for just about every summer day for the last 6 years now. They were the only sandals I ever had that never gave me blisters.

Amen to that!! I don't remember how many years ago I bought my first pair of Tevas -- they are the best. It's such simple logic to have multiple adjustments in a shoe (or sandal). Everyone's foot is sized differently, and the minor adjustments you can make to them, guarantee a custom fit. :happy:

The Honda 50’s and 70’s had even smaller motors...

As I’ve posted before...
We had a 1969 Honda Trail 90 back in the day, that looked exactly like this one...

View attachment 388260

We used to ride it on trails in No Cal, and it was also street legal, so pop rode it to work and back to IBM just a coupla’ miles down the road plenty of times, especially during the “oil crisis”.
We also used to haul it with us back to Texas every summer, and ride it around on the farms.
It also came in handy one time when the water pump went out in the truck on a backroad in Arizona one morning. No cell phones then, and we couldn’t raise anybody in the area on the CB at the time, so pop just hopped on the Honda and headed to the nearest town (we did have stone tablet maps back then :D). He came back a while later riding in a tow truck with the 90 in the back (tow trucks were a bit different back then, too).
The truck was fixed, with the help of my pop :hilarious:, and we were on the road again that afternoon...!!! :)

The setup for hauling the Honda 90 was similar to this, with plenty of room between the camper door and bike, but, my pop built it himself...!!!!! :happy::)

So it could be said that Honda's were, indeed, the stone age cell phones. As for CB's, I miss them. During that era I had a Dodge MiniVan and always had a CB. I did use it occasionally, but, mostly I just listened. There were Smokey Reports and a lot of banter. I was living up North at the time and I have to shamefully admit that you couldn't just listen to CB chatter in the North because it was nothing but a long stream of obscenities. Didn't bother me personally, but, it was when my kids were real young and I didn't want to spend my time trying to define words that we didn't use at home. However, even to me, it was tiring to listen to people that couldn't come up with a clever thought so they resorted to smut.

It was different down south. The guys using their CB's were very comical and entertaining. No resorting to obscenities unless it was cleverly covered by innuendo, but, it was mostly just plain funny stuff. You know the "You might be a redneck" type of humor. I could listen to them banter for hours. They had me laughing almost to tears on occasion which I suppose isn't really good when you are driving.

Catch ya on the rebound, good buddy! That's a big 10-4!

My CB name (mind you I was under 10 at the time) was certified CB nut. My parents had on of those big home bases... they were way into it! My moms name was AngelFace, and my dad's name was Swampfox.
