Caught Between Generations

It was an extremely tough week, but it ended with this exchange which made me smile.

So my mom calls me said she wants a radio for her birthday.

I said "ok", 

then she said, "the one I can put tape inside".

I am stunned at this point, so I said "I don't think they sell those anymore."

She then said "what do you listen on now then CD?"

I literly can't speak for a second.  "Radios don't come with those anymore either"

So she said "just buy it at Radio Shack."

I am more stunned.

I told her "Radio Shack closed years ago, I will get something for you on Amazon.  "

I then said "I thought you want to come here for your birthday"

She said yeah, "can you send me money, just in case I want to eat something on the plane."

Then I reminded her "planes don't take cash anymore."  for context she doesn't have a credit card

We spoke some more and we will figure it out.

After I hung up and my son comes in saying he heard all that, then asked me what Radio Shack was.

I had to laugh at what just happened, it made me feel good.

I just HAD to update my post. A friend Ronzell actually fixed my 3D printer

First Good 3D Print where the XYZ are pretty clean. Took over 2 years for it to print out a clean print.

Also he was interested in my CNC that is not even unpacked.

For future reference it is a SainSmart Genmitsu CNC 3018-PRO.
