    On my profile. What can I say, I am most likely the oldest one in this group. Seen a lot of things, good and bad. Also built a lot of things with my hands. Actually Sport Aviation is my hobby. Been to KOSH 42 consecutive years. Of those 15 times with my own handiwork. Have 2 Lindy's from there. 25 years worked in Air Canada's engine shop (Power Plant, Dorval)

    94 eh! Well that might well be the oldest! Gives me a new bar to aim for!

    My dad was still driving at 94 too. Made the 9 hour drive to Manitoulin at least twice a year. He is gone now.

    But driving is a lot easier than making stuff. Are you still machining too?

    Yes, I do make things when the need arises. Not as often as when I was making "Homebuilt Airplanes".
    Transport Canada was on my back to give up flying for my pleasure.
    I do have an Atlas 6 in. lathe with a milling attachment to play with. Also an Atlas Shaper in good condition but I don't have much use for that, perhaps should sell it. The lathe is a keeper for now.

    Awesome! You are my newest hero!

    I live south of Chatham in SW Ontario. Look me up if you are ever out this way.

    Hi!
    I am trying to find my way around all the postings etc. It will take a while for an old man, that does not have even a Cell Phone

    in my country, the vast majority of people actually have no hobbies, in fact, there is no pursuit of life may be exhausted all the strength. I don't care about retirement, I want to live in the present, the present life is my focus, of course,

    , I will plan my future, but the "now" is the most important thing for me. You two old kids have made me realize how far away retirement is, that maybe the death of life is the time to retire.

    Oh oh, it turns out that the chat can't exceed 420 characters, and then the two statements need to be 14 seconds apart.
