RE: Stair Railings Build, Minot Discovery Center, Records, Evening Walk - Thursday

You've squeezed a great deal into each day. Your projects look good.
I am from a record-playing generation, so we have a record/CD/cassette player. It's not fancy,but I use it often. The one device we lack is an 8-track player, but I never owned any of those. It was a passing "thing."

Sort:  

I remember reel to reel when I was a kid, the 8 track was in the car, we had a big c-band satellite dish, records and tapes, and vhs.

My parents had a reel-to-reel! My brother bought it for them in the late 60s or early 70s when he was stationed in Korea in the air force. He taped many of his records onto reel-to-reel tapes, and we could listen for hours without having to turn over a record. It seemed wonderful at the time. In a way, I wouldn't mind having that convenience now. But the equipment sure took up a chunk of space. My dad built a cabinet just for that. I have no idea what became of it.
