Title: cool that old guys have a reason to get up!
Post by: Stig / Major Tom on October 09, 2023, 02:02:58 PM


My scooter destination coffee shop has a regular group of seniors who time their arrival every morning to the opening at 6:45AM.
Some arrive in exotic vehicles....
(Joe's  working tow truck, which advertises on one door that "We buy your dead stock" - while the other door offers a selection of their processed luncheon meats - or he may arrive on his 1951 BMW w/sidecar, or his nice Reflex scooter, or one of his 7 child-painted Toyota station wagons)

Working people also stop in as Dino opens shop (a lot of nurses)...but they are on their way to jobs.

Not for the first time - I noticed the other morning that there are a group of seniors who meet every day at a local Tim Hortons for coffee and conversation. I asked the clerk what time they show up - she said she comes in at 6AM, and they're already there!

I just think it is pretty cool that all these guys have found a reason to get out of bed early every morning, and GO somewhere!

One guy in a vintage Ford Fiesta - p-ups for the majority.
I see more unicorns - than scooters around here.
I've seen 2 this year - but it's only October.

Oh I do Karl, I do!  Pulling a all nighter now for me means sleeping through! Once in a Blue Moon.
