TOD is the dark one, the oddball. Raiders is the best. LC is the slickest and most commercial one, and it's almost a beat-for-beat remake of Raiders. 4 was crap and 5 is not even an Indy movie by any stretch of the imagination. Just my opinons.

I would most likely agree with you had I seen all , but...... I could not even get past a few minutes into the number (4) one.
Always been kind of a tie with me for favorite between (1) and then (3) movies. I like them both.
 
Enjoy the Red Dead Redemption PC port/remaster. Brings back memories of me in my early 20's and gaming nostalgia

Miss Prim and Miss Proper won't hack a good loogie. She sounds like she has some tremendous lung oysters.

I am fit as a fiddle. Men's church meeting 6-7AM, Pickleyball 7:30-11:30, meet with lawyer at one, drive her back to clinic in Lynden, pick up 20 sacks of soil on the way home, just now unloaded the sacks, sweating and need to cook another depressed dinner.

P. (y)You have no idea how much I envy you that fitness. Well, I am really truly very happy for you about it. Lots of guys I know in late 60s early 70s can't do half what you can do.

I used to do 10 or 12 hour days working in a machinery work crew. Get off, drink a 24/32oz beer in my 5 to 10 min ride home. Get with wife and we would take off on 4-5 mile fast walk. Every other day I would lift weights in my shop behind the house between the cars or boats and my mess all over in there listening to sports radio. I was so fit some weekends I would do a near 10 mile run to my parents house and they would drive me home. All a memory since the neck n spine surgeries.... arthritis, chronic pains etc hit me. Started over ten years ago.
Fast forward to now:
My body is making me pay now for a lot of the crazy/just stupid physical stuff some of us did on the job. Stuff like being too impatient to wait on cranes or cherry pickers so we man handled things like large pipe or 300# valves and stuff between couple of us up flights of stairs. (IDIOTS) We moved and hung huge pipes with crow bars , chainfalls or come-a-longs and muscle (Again IDIOTS) just because we
wanted to hurry and finish and not wait for help or cranes.... Most of us are paying for that kind of stuff as we get older. :cry:

:ROFLMAO: The eye Doctor (I just went for first time in over 15 years) was messing with me. He was like "you are something. He said according to our checks today you actually are seeing better than the records I had to dig out of the dust and spider webs from your last visit!" LoL

Then he said "get your bu** in here a little more often! You becoming an old geezer like me and we need to see all our Doctors a bit more often." Really nice Doctor. :love:

I get after my late teen, early 20's kids for doing stuff like jumping down from the bed of a pickup or using hearing protection at loud concerts. They just roll their eyes when they think I'm not looking.
 
Waiting for better 1/2 to get home from work. I had tree trimmers crawling all over the yard and up giant oak tree in back yard today I had to keep my eyes on. Two young guys running their very own business and they worked their bu**s off and did a great job.

All gotta learn , some of us hard ways. But stay on em. They will hopefully thank you one day.

I am almost 100% deaf in my left ear thanks to gowing up in the 60's and 70s. Operating chainsaws, lawn equipment, motor cycles, heavy equipment etc... without protection.... then lots of other things spring to mind too. :eek:

We had many very loud muscle cars all over my tiny town. Seemed every teen guy could not wait to make driver's liscense age. Reason was of course to purchase your very own used one , since used was all we could afford with our after school job monies we squirelled away for that first set of wheels. As if hanging in those circles of friends and their machines was not enough, we also had a professional drag strip in another tiny town only 7-9 miles from my house. Huh? Ear plugs? Hearing protection.....? What that now? We knew not and cared less. OOPs.

Add to that, like many on BITOG I would bet , came hunting or shooting. I hunted big & small game for years. Ducks and deer with loud guns from about age 12 to 66 years old. Of course no hearing protection was even considered. The one that really popped my ears was in the 1990s the very first time I shot my Ruger Blackhawk revolver 357mag. Again, not thinking about it. Boom! I can promise I thought about hearing protection after that first shot seemed to have blown out one of my ears. Never fired that gun or any since without ear plugs.

Then to one of the major hearing killers for many my age was the thing called rock concerts. I and the wife , who were together years before marriage in 78 , have attended so many rock , country , jazz etc.... concerts we lost count many years ago. Really must be a number over 100 easy. I think the ones who probably did the most damage to my ears was Emerson , Lake & Palmer or possibly a band called Montrose with Sammy Hagar. Of course the Irishman , Robin Trower I can blame as well since we saw him so many times. I'm certain there are some others who were extremely loud that I am not thinking of now. Almost forgot two of the loudest.... Humble Pie and Grand Funk Railroad. Many of those performers themselves are near deaf these days.

Whaaaats that? Huh? Wife and I been living in the empty nest for almost 20 years now and we do that to each other across the house all the time. "whaaaaat was that?" "wait a darned minute till I walk that way! I can't hear or understand one word you are saying." The crazy is when one of us misunderstands the other and think we are on a subject that has nothing to do with what started the talk. LoL.
