Is 1970’s through the early 1990’s considered ancient?
If so I got some I will sell you from my mothers journey of following the footsteps of Paul from “Back in the Day”.

Um… No disrespect, but which Paul? McCartney?
Paul Newman while he was running in the touring car series.
Well…
The boys and I still do rocketry…
When you’re the cameraman, you don’t get many shots of yourself! The latter is one of mine going aloft. This was a rare successful flight for this model…
O.D. and I are church musicians. We have done vocal duets; we have done trombone duets; we have done work with trombone and organ / piano accompaniment. She also plays organ, and we both sing in the choir.
I usually get tapped to do “non-dancing roles” in Y.D.'s dance school, so we share that.
I have posted about living history, which, of late, has been a few commemorative events for U.S. veterans and the Royal Hawaiian military. It’s not a big thing out here!
This above O.S. and I in January at the USS MISSOURI Memorial’s annual living history day. We go in as the Fort Fisher expeditionary corps for this event. Multiple Native Hawaiians served in the US Colored Troops at 2nd Fort Fisher and with the Navy-Marine landing party. O.S. trims his uniform for the USCT, which, in addition to Native Hawaiians, had an assortment of other “non-whites.” He actually blew a couple bugle calls for this one!
Below is yours truly at an event commemorating the foundation of the Hawaiian Guard, the royal forerunner of the current Hawaii National Guard.
Let to Right: 1st Hawaiian / Honolulu Cavalry; Honolulu Fort garrison; event crasher in 1880-s uniform; Honolulu Fire Department (HRHH King Kamehameha III founded both the “modern” military and the fire department).
I SCUBA when I can get away and the weather permits, which, sadly, is a rare combination! I dive solo, and I would rather pay the mortgage than get a camera. No recent pictures!
Like the Triple O, all of these are possible because I never had to throw away my “toys.” Most of this hobby paraphernalia drifted around in boxes as I moved around, waiting to come out when time and place allowed. No way I’d invest in Civil War stuff out here, for instance, any more than I’d hang onto SCUBA gear if I lived in Nebraska.

You can hide it for 40 years
You will never need it until the day after it is gone.
You got that right. Unfortunately I can’t move it all. Tools and hardware are a priority, Wood, PVC and Styrene can be bought.
