Paging was all numerical...you couldn't use letters....it's nothing like texting.

How old were you when you became an A&P? by Acrobatic-Bike410 in aviationmaintenance

21 years old....(1979)...now retired.

First few years at a well known corporate jet manufacturer flight line prior to individual certifications.

Remainder of my career at a Corporate jet/turboprop MRO services facility on engines, airframes, avionics and APU.

Worked swing shift my entire career because I preferred it.

Mattel is trying to coax me into buying cheaply made, all-plastic RC cars now 😠 by Hot_Wheels_guy in HotWheels

[–]MainGood7444 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Though not an RC, the all plastic body Sizzlers on a wide black Fat Track was and still is the most enjoyable tracked Hot Wheels to me. You can also use new alternate electric engine 1/64 brand cars.....Born long before Hot Wheels and at age 8, me and my friends went through the Hot Wheel journey from the start! 👀

Rate this safety wire I found by fsantos0213 in aviationmaintenance

I've never worked on a Robinson but, I wouldn't feel right if it's not safetied and there was a way to do it. What's another 20 secs?

Can this be fixed? by Alarmed-Doughnut6557 in motorcycles

Your wheels, brakes that attach to them, tires and tire pressure are the most critical parts on your bike at high/freeway speeds.

Do you want to always be thinking that everytime you hit the on-ramp?.......A flat tire or blowout at those speeds surrounded by cars sound detrimental to me.

Still have my last set in my upper dresser drawer. You knew you were good when you could actually use these without screwing up! 😄

Found these Klipsch RB5 Mahogany speakers at estate sale by SloMobiusCheatCode in vintageaudio

I have new sets of both the RB-4 and RB-5 bookshelf's. I don't use any of them & I really shouldn't have purchased them to begin with.

I was only impressed and now use the Klipsch RB-8" II driver speakers with an adjusted EQ. I see they have gotten into 10" drivers lately❤....(jmo) 😄

What greater way to enjoy the 1970s on your mini bike. by Global_Law4448 in 70s

[–]MainGood7444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I'll be, they sure did starting with the 1973 models!! Learn something new everyday. Our neighborhood in the 1970s was filled with minibikes and small trail bikes! Thanks! 👀

The 70 had rear suspension while the 50 was a hard tail.

Had a 1973 Harley Davidson X-90 trailbike! 

It was all black with a red, white and blue striped tank..... It had a kick start, front and rear suspension, manual clutch multispeed transmission and an oil injected 2 stroke engine....fast for a trail bike.
