Unable to go to the rally

Post by cushman eagle »

We are having to cancel our plans to go to the rally because of a loss of three employees, who resigned :cry2: And with a lot of advertising,no replacements showed up[accept one who wanted to start at $120,000 per year] :hmm:
We were hoping to meet all of you again after seeing you in Springfield in 2021 :clap: ,but we do not have anyone to sub for me this year.
Ride safe as you travel ,and we hope to see you again.

I guess the days of hiring the neighbor's HS son for $5/hr are over in Ohio.

I retired at 62 and never looked back and loving retirement ever since. I should have retired at 55. I’m 69 now and I do whatever whenever .

I also retired a few years ago, but I can't do anything I really want to do. I've got way too many chores postponed from years before I retired. :-(

When you retire, the first thing you want to do is chunk your job jar in the trash.

"What was he buying for a dollar?"

Maybe a loaf of bread and a pack of smokes....or a gallon of gas was 60 to 70 cents. But adjusted for inflation, fairly similar.

1978
- Fresh eggs (1 dozen): $0.79 ($3.15 in today’s dollars)
- White bread (1 pound): $0.36 ($1.44 in today’s dollars)
- Sliced bacon (1 pound): $1.79 ($7.15 in today’s dollars)
- Round steak (1 pound): $1.99 ($7.94 in today’s dollars)
- Potatoes (10 pounds): $1.40 ($5.59 in today’s dollars)
- Fresh grocery milk (1/2 gallon): $0.86 ($3.43 in today’s dollars)
