Hey old farts..how many over 50 yrs?

Hey everyone, saw this thread and figured it would be a good place to introduce myself. 57 year old man growing for about 4 years since they changed the laws here in Virginia. Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Been on a couple other forums for a while but new here. Do mostly organic soil grows. Looking forward to retirement also so I can just stay home and tend the garden.

Lol...until last year when I remodeled my basement...I had over 500 western saddles and 600+ English saddles stacked on saddle racks. They were either bought, won or sent by sponsors. I used to compete in western disciplines and rodeo as well as Eventing, Polo and Gymkhana.
I pulled the ones I wanted and a buyer came in and bought the lot. It was unreal when I started hauling them out and realized how many were actually down there.
I have other collections too..I have a bunch of old muscle cars/ race cars in various conditions. 69 SS Camaro, 69 Mach1, 71 Cuda, 2-68 fast back Cudas- both drag race cars...tools welders boats various horse tack...I've collected a lot of shit in my 58 years...I have a whole shed full of fishing tackle rods n reels spare out board engines etc ..
It's amazing the shit one can gather in 58 yrs!

Jeff, I'm really laughing at this, this is so true for so many of us.
 
I see this occasionally, folks having trouble moving $$ back and forth especially from banks to investment firms.
Shouldn't seem like a difficult thing but... Articles deal with that.

I joined this forum in 2007, and that was after a few years where I was not so paranoid about even being on the Internet posting about grows. There was a time when it was a felony and they took that shit real serious. Old enough to remember dial phones, no computers, no cell phones, and when Michael Jackson was black.
 
...and other sites for finding monies owed, due, or forgotten. I used one of these to find out about a bank account my estranged father (who I hadn't seen since 1963) had out West. About $2k that had been sitting there for years. Took a bit of rounding up all the necessary docs but got the money in the end. Be sure and search all names you have/had a relationship to as long as you can prove kinship.
