Just fine to hear them.... Major plus is you can still remember them.

Watched them not long ago. The fuel surcharge on the power bill that was as much as the bill forced some creature comfort changes . 900 odd collected movies from circa 1935-2015 or so should keep us entertained for a while .

We also enjoy the old one's. Right now we are working through a set of 30 old John Wayne made before John Ford. Some segments are laughable but generally good stories and the bad guys always get theirs in the end.

I grew up with Roy and Dale , the museum was only 80 miles away. Both were there most days .
70 miles the other way was the Alabama Hills , home to about 83,000 movies from Gunga Din to Jeremiah Johnson to 3 of the 4 Tremors movies .
I probably met by chance many of those folks they were just people to most of the folks there .
I love watching a movie thinking " huh I drove right through that set " . Like the jackhammer scene in Tremors . It's kind of cool as in about 1975 or so that whole area was changed over to something akin to a desert reserve/forest service lands . Full open access but you have to stay on existing roads and they can do sets etc but don't mess with the flora and fona . It looks exactly like it did in 1952 , and 48' and 38' before the war , that's the cool part .
Now I live about 40 miles from Arthur Hunicutt's grave and 65 or so from where he was born ...... The cemetery and graveyard isn't famous for him being there though . It famous because it's the only one with a federal highway running through it .
We probably have 150 movies that hook the silent movie cowboys to .........in thinking about it there's more than that just because some of those guys did such broad work . John S Hart all the way to the Baldwin's . True heroes like Audy Murphy , Lee Marvin . Kevin Bacon even gets in the door .......I couldn't put those guys in the middle in the same sentence with those other guys . It's almost blasphemy to have their names in the same post ......
Nobody will watch the monster/horror with me anymore. Love me some Alien , Predator, Godzilla movies . That one with Raymond Burr weirds me out , he just gets up and walks ........too much Iron Side I guess .

Ok, this is of a cat but show it to your canine, they will get a big laugh out of it.

At the casting bench in the sky. RIP Bret.
I just bought a new/used DVD/VCR player so I can watch my old films. Many of mine are old promotional films for stuff like the early Dodge Power Wagons or small release horse/logging films. I suppose I should learn how to transfer the VCRs to DVD so I can make copies as tape doesn't last forever.
You Tube is my movie source, although that forces me to make use of Google/Alphabet and I despise them. If it's in black and white, chances are I'll watch it!!! Started watching one last night, "3 Cheers for the Irish" or something. Only got part way through before the eyelids got too heavy. Good stuff. Some are hard to find though unless you're willing to pay- I saw the first 20 minutes of "Welcome Stranger" with Bing Crosby IIRC, can't find it anywhere to finish it!

This is the new cat we took in this spring!
Bangs on the screen door frantically at 3:00 AM, I'll let him in thinking he's hungry or something's after him (dumb me - he's not afraid of ANYTHING) and I go back to bed. He then charges back and forth through the bedroom, bounds onto the bed - onto US, back off, onto the vanity, back across the room and onto US again....
If he came in to sleep, that would be one thing, but he comes in DEMANDING attention at that hour.
After a couple minutes, I have to toss him right back out, onto the porch.
He goes on his merry way, as if he'd done what he needed to do - remind us he exists.
