Old!

Technology is great in some aspects, but sucks in others.    

Me and my family are way too dependant on our smart phones.   If that service ever goes down we are gonna have problems.   Problems that we wouldn't have had if we never had them, that's for sure.

I probably shouldn't have announced that, as there appears to be an amateur cell phone hacker amongst us here.   🙄

sun dials I've seen were easy to read when the sun was shining- not so good for an alarm clock though as they quit working at night

If you watch Orion in the sky now, you can tell what time it is.   He starts hunting at dusk and hunts all night.   We have a woodpecker that serves as a pretty reliable alarm clock.  He makes his pass on our gutters every morning.

I enjoy staying current with new technology but cherish some old stuff that can’t be improved on.  
We eat dinner at my grandparents kitchen table and chairs.  Love it!  
The chairs creak and crack when I sit in them and I creak and crack when I get up😂

Are you allowed to lean back in them?  I get yelled at when we go to the inlaws and I "make myself at home" in Granny's chairs.

Yeah.  I wear the pants around here, cupcake.  😂

Remember Hickory Chairs with laced twine  for seat. Oil Lamps and Wood Cook Stove.

Be nice if it was easier to get parts for older vehicles.

Older Pickups you could actually use them.

We've got an old rocking chair like that.  Would be real comfy if it wasn't for the lathe turned sticks running up the back.  Your butt stays nice and cool.

I'd really like to have my 99 Chevy Z71 sportside totally restored.  Best truck ever. I would gladly throw 7k into it if I could find someone to do the work.   Know anyone?  

Still a good truck but closing in on 300k miles and showing its age. Me and that truck have had some really big times together.

I had a string of gmc step sides.  Bought em on the old GM employee purchase program.  Last one was a 99. I put dual exhaust on them.  My mom and wife loved to drive them.
