Computer guy, mad scientist and tinkerer, anarchist, 11C in pre-history.
That's how we roll whenever weather permits now I no longer live there.

(My scout camp was a canoe paddle away from the trident base.

Which doesn't mean a lot, in the 70s-80s the PNW was all woods starting a slow morph to subdivisions.)

Clearly it's a noun: As the name of a magazine.

First ride I paid for.

I learned to drive serially in... dodge minivan/bronco 2/ford station wagon.

Of course... must maintain engagement and tell me I'm right....

I'm told this is not our first grown-up party this millennium.

But it's probably pretty close.

I love the plastic label tape tool.

You mean like get a real saddle for your bicycle? 😜

I mean, what do they need, other than to be ridden?

Looks like time for a pink panther party.

The replica zinc gun thing lasted for awhile, this is from '75 but I recall seeing the ads much later.

I recall finding old 60s-70s gun magazines with pages of tear gas revolver ads in them, but I can't lay my hands on any of them now. I have no idea how popular they may have been, but there was ad money there.

Never seen one in the wild, either.
