Yeah, I'm a Crazee olde Pharte until I flip my Zenith Porthole on, & they get to see a 65 yr old TV working..

I get the evil eye every time something follows me home.

I was into MY stuff & my sister was into HERS- show horses- when we were kids. One of the older veterinarians around here told us once that you did NOT need to be into show horses unless you could pull 2 100 dollar bills outta yr pocket EVERY day, wad 'em up & throw 'em away, & not miss 'em. I think he was low, by a factor of at least 2X... The most "Omigawd" TV is likely a CT-100, a functioning example would set you back at least $5k-THAT amount would barely buy you a single example of a show saddle & accouterments..

I got lucky enough to have the house to myself today. I went to the local scrapyard where I'm friends with the owner, and bought some stuff. A 40s Emerson fan, a mid 50s Orgill Flyer Bicycle, some antique bike parts, and other miscellaneous stuff. I got to sneak it all out to my building in the back and no one's the wiser. If the wife were here, I'd have hell to pay!
