Now there's a blast from my very distant past... [View all]

I relocated last year and am still poring through the stuff I've had in storage for years but had no way to sort through it until now and I have been finding some things I forgot about.

There are many things I have retained for the purpose of memory aids as I prepare to compose my memoirs.

One thing I didn't expect to find was my old CB radio from my bad-girl truck driver days! It's a serious piece of electronic equipment, top of the line for back then but also enhanced, because I needed to reach distances with it. I wonder if it's still worthy of use for some driver somewhere. Gave me a good chuckle when I found it. Still in great condition and usable, I might even have the special microphone that went with it, maybe, might have sold that already since I haven't seen it yet.
