[Phono-L] Moving Victrolas

2006-12-24 Thread Mike Stitt
Jerry is telling the truth. I did drive all that way and we did moves 
hundreds of machine. So to you my dear friend Jerry, I would be happy to 
help again, if I wasn't 55. Heck I'm in my heart attack years!!! lol It 
was fun but our age is catching up to us. Btw, I agree with Jerry. Would 
take a pass on the Vic II unless the horn was really nice. Thank's Jerry 
for the nice complements.

Mike,
 Those were the same excuses you used then and always use.   Are you 
really 55 now   I also agree with Jerry, but remember the Vic II is 
lighter.

Yeah, Mike's pretty much useless now. He'll only carry the light  
stuff and drink your beer. Now that I'm thinking of it, that's all  
I'll do now too... except the part about carrying the light stuff.

I think Mike is on to something with the beer... I know the move Jerry spoke
of (a million thanks to Jerry Blais and Bob Carver) was surprisingly hard. I
don't think I realized now much harder things are at 52 than at 40 either.
If I ever have to move again it will be to the home and someone else can
move my crap! And, Mike and I can have a beer together while we watch!

[Phono-L] Moving Victrolas

2006-12-24 Thread Steven Medved
Mike, say it isn't so.  
 
The part about getting older is very true, the best advice I can give is to 
lift weights and stretch.  I am 47 and unless I work out my back gets so bad it 
is hard for me to get around.  When I was young I lifted to get big, I never 
did, now I lift just to extend middle age.  Start out very light and never lift 
weights that are heavy to you and see a doctor if you have questions, but no 
matter what your age this can help as long as you do not have serious problems. 
 
 
Best to all,
 
Steve

Nice to know that you offer beverages, Loran!   I can't count the number of 
times I've been to other 
people's homes, and they fail to offer even a glass of water.  Host/Hostess 
skills are obviously not 
being taught by parents!   Would you like a cup of coffee?  A Coke?   A lot 
of older people around 
here wouldn't let you go until they could FEED you. Alas, that generation would 
be in their 90s now, 
if they'd have lived so long.

Thanks for all the kind remarks. My new motto is I don't want to get 
paid what I'm worthI don't work 
that cheap!! Steve, lifting weights can be fun but I've worked hard 
to get this sedentary. Stan yes 55 you ageless wonder. Just so we get it 
all covered Brice Paris got me collecting safes too, little ones, only 
60lbs or so. See Steve you can kill two bird with one 
stone...Your back and your wallet!
