It never ceases to amaze me that some things never cease to amaze me.

Ones and twos are about as many humans as I can stand to be in close proximity to at any given time

Bench-pressing bananas won't build much muscle mass.

Thing I love most about this generation of cars is that they were relatively simple but mature designs, made with quality materials. Fixed right, they're as reliable as bricks and will run, literally, forever. Though a lot of folks bemoan them not having app-controlled-5-way-heated-cup-holders, cameras and screens instead of mirrors, and a half ton of tank-like "safety" features, I vastly prefer them.

Very nice. I have a 1/24 clear body shell of this car I intend to base a static model on...someday.

Nice to see a lower-line 4dr getting some love. Cool car.

Not knowing knots can result in falls, lost loads, or things just blowing away.

Avoid the truth at all cost, and never let it influence your opinions.

"Quarts" is one of those concepts that's disappearing from common-knowledge, like telling time on a round analog clock, and making change.

Noise from TV inevitably includes hysterical advertising of "medical" products that have more creepy side-effects than benefits.

Bill Gates isn't a doctor, and he doesn't even play one on TV.

Farm girls in gingham with big sparkling blue eyes and cornsilk hair probably aren't as plentiful now as when I was young.

Pace yourself when working in the heat, or you might wind up in the past tense.

"Kit-bashing" is a term originated by model railroaders at least 5 decades ago.

"Appetizing" isn't the first thing I think of when I look at live lobsters and snails.

This is an excellent point. Even the best mask out there won't seal against beard stubble, much less a full beard. A full air-supplied hood is your best option if your face is hairy.

"Fun" isn't on today's menu.

My back is out. Lifted something wrong, or who knows what. Hobble-shuffling around like...an old geezer who hobble-shuffles around. Can't even sit at the keyboard for more than a couple minutes. Sometimes it goes away as quickly as it comes on, sometimes it lasts for days. Not a good time for this...

I seem to recall he was in Europe for a while...

Hoist by his own petard, he was.

Twice trusting Lucy not to move the football proves you're an idjit, Charlie Brown. https://slate.com/culture/2014/10/the-history-of-lucys-pulling-the-football-away-from-charlie-brown-in-peanuts.html

Road trips are good for clearing cobwebs out of your head and carbon out of your combustion chambers.
