Of the ones I mentioned, I've seen one; Neil Young. Been to many concerts, though. Here's a post of mine listing who I've seen from cmyx6go's concert thread.

My wife sent me a link to a job opening down south that I could really enjoy in my retirement. A driving school was looking for part-time instructors to teach teens how to drive manual transmissions. With all of the people that I have successfully taught over the years for free, I can't believe that I could get a $50/hour pay check for doing it.....

It`s true. I know I learn something new almost every week or month from one of my sons, especially when it comes to computers and cell phones.

After we were done he asked me how much I owe you? I told him I would send him the bill at the end of the month, he laughed and said If you ever need any help don`t hesitate to ask. Great kid/young adult that always stops when he sees me outside to say hi or just a few words, which is a very rare thing now a days from young people.

Lol, if you knew that, you would`ve been a millionaire by now

I was really surprised when he asked what the 4 pedals were for. But he is a really nice young man that I didn`t mind explaining it to him.

Did anyone explain why young people need to learn to drive standard transmission cars? Valet training? Dealership car movers?

Does anyone recall when tacos were 19¢ at Taco Bell (or anywhere else)?

I had to get some food into me after working a swing shift one night. The Bell was the only place open in that part of San Jose. I got my $$$ worth from that taco, too!

Having kids that appreciate what you've done for them is a very good thing. When they are able and willing to give a little back in whatever form that takes is priceless. You should be proud.
