So glad to see you are still moving forward, as well as looking back. Sometimes as we age we only look back. Looking forward to more images of your new adventures on the Harley.

In 1942 General Douglas MacArthur ordered this Packard Clipper Eight sedan with virtually every option including air conditioning, overdrive, and radio.
The $1,341 base price nearly doubled to $2,600. The factory returned his check and delivered the car to his station in Australia as a gift.
The car was MacArthur's until 1948, when he gave it to his driver who had served the general.
The car sat forgotten in a barn in Texas for 30 years. MacArthur made arrangements through a Navy friend to ship the car on the aircraft carrier Princeton to San Diego.
Then on a military flatbed it shipped to Fort Sam Houston, Texas. It was released to the driver in his home city of Dallas. He made arrangements to have military hardware removed and painted a bright post war color. However, he had to wait as they were busy.
Before he could get it done he parked the car in his small, dirt floor garage. He died in his sleep and it remained there untouched for years. The car still had MacArthur's old army helmet and corncob pipe in the back seat. It may be in Golden, Colorado now.
And for the youngsters reading this, back then Packard was THE top of the heap of posh and well engineered cars. Rolls and Cadillac were just almost as good.

That time at Woodstock - an incredibly historic youth movement / party / music. A moment in that era that won't ever be repeated.

I agree.

I once worked with a guy who grew up about an hour from where Woodstock was held. At age 14 he hitchhiked to Woodstock, by himself, and spent three days at the event. I’m sure he grew up quite a bit in those three days!

Here's a scrap pile of 8-bit OTP plastic-packaged INTEL microprocessors de-soldered and removed from digital-dash-optioned cars made by GM between 1984-1987. These have 16K of programmable ROM built into the chip and are programmed to make the digits blink on and off, once you hit 85 MPH, on a 2-1/2 digit VFD readout. If you brought the vehicle above 85, you'd never know it. Psychological means to get people to slow down I suppose. Anyway, they were removed and replaced with a new microprocessor programmed to permit the dash to show true MPH, up to 199 MPH.

This photo, taken before 1900 by William Henry Jackson, is titled “Mining on the Gold Belt” and was likely taken near the town of Ouray. It is hard to imagine the obstacles that independent miners had to overcome to start a mine like this.

Kid may be smarter than originally thought... although it would've probably been difficult to use that type of can opener on that jar lid...

...maybe the lid was cranked on there by an ill-adjusted factory machine and was impossible to remove.
