Way to go Harry! You are lucky to have someone show you. I would, if I only knew someone. Us "older gentlemen" have got to stick together.

"Us "older gentlemen" have got to stick together."

We sure do George,and that's why photo-shoots are so important to us, comprehension of the written word diminishes with age, but we can still absorb pictures so come on you youngsters, let us oldies SEE how YOU make the things that you present as just show and tell.

Harry that is a great looking bowl. You got that right about that as we are aging the comprehesion goes down the drain. I can look at a picture and make it but if it is written out I am in trouble.

**harrysin** · 08-24-2008, 11:28 PM

Bernie, YOU can't be classed as an oldie for a while yet, you're still of working age.

Harry, what is working age?

John

"Harry, what is working age?"

I think 65 is respectable, and the age of obtaining a government pension. In spite of that, I didn't retire until I was 67

Harry

I hear what you are saying, I think I will quit when the body says "enough".

Then I will putter,,,,,,, just curious, and I do agree with your thinking, and the way you get things done at 39

Harry my working days are almost done. I have been a electronic technician now for 43 yrs. and will celebrate 44 yrs as a tech next May. I will be 63 yrs old when I retire 12/09.

**harrysin** · 08-26-2008, 08:28 AM

Come, come Bernie, you must at least have 50years and six months repairing electronics to equal my record in the industry. I only decided to retire one day when I realised that I was no longer looking forward to going to work each day, prior to that I swear that I enjoyed almost every working day of my career, but as I grew older it became more and more difficult to keep up with technology, now with consumer electronics, most products are not worth repairing, even under warranty they get replaced. Next to get a replacement warranty will be flat screen TV's as these even now are "repaired" on a board replacement basis.
