December 30, 2021

Patriot Darrell GillThat was the best. And they wonder why the kids have weight problems now. We used to come home for lunch too. My friend and I were both latch key kids who wore our house keys around our necks and ate super fast so we could use the rest of lunch to play jacks. Oh those were the da... View More

Patriot Darrell GillWe were in 3rd or 4th grade. But think about during the revolutionary war. People were 11 years old and out fighting for their country. I remember being at the Glenn Beck man in the moon program in Salt Lake City Utah years ago and they had clothing from a young Man that served h... View More

KristineGullikson very true ! We're afraid to let them out unless we're with them now . Back in the day everyone new your kids and we new their kids . Everyone looked out for kids and new each others parents !

December 31, 2021

Good Morning Gentle Friends Patriot Darrell Gill , KristineGullikson . I wonder how long it has been since a mother told her child "Make sure your home by the time the street lights come on".

1 December 31, 2021

WaldoJPeabody My wife and I still say it..

December 31, 2021

Patriot Darrell Gill lol, either that or the other one "I don't want to see you till the street lights come on."

1 December 31, 2021

WaldoJPeabodyI don’t even have street lights in My neighborhood but oh yes that is my era. The fear wasn’t there. We would ride on our bikes for miles to different cities and not even on a bike path and get this, no helmet! I remember one time a friend of mine who had super long hair got larded, yes...

Patriot Darrell GillYep and if you were naughty the other parents would correct you, can you believe it? It wasn’t an era of my child can do no wrong.

4 December 30, 2021 Edited

Patriot Darrell Gill Yep, I doubt ya could get the bench from a redwood picnic set between the front and back seat of anything on the road today.

4 December 30, 2021

Patriot Darrell Gill Actually sitting on the hood of a car.

4 December 30, 2021

WaldoJPeabody Used to be able to move grandma in one trunk load with a 68 impala!

3 December 30, 2021

Her furniture " it's not a fat joke !

4 December 30, 2021

Patriot Darrell Gill As I remember, one could get 2 24" Schwinn bicycles in the back of an Impala and still close the trunk.

4 December 30, 2021

WaldoJPeabody didn't need a truck , hell I went camping in one with my dad mom and 4 cousins

2 December 30, 2021

Patriot Darrell Gill That Coronet 500, if there wasn't enough room in the trunk, it had the power to pull a trailer made from the bed of a 1/2 ton pick up truck. And, the sweetest thing, (without the trailer) you could drive 200 miles and fill the tank back up for $5.00

2 December 30, 2021

WaldoJPeabody ya , who cares if they guzzle gas when you can fill up for 5 bucks ? 22 gallons .

1 December 30, 2021

Patriot Darrell Gill lol that's just it, if you kept your foot well behaved, they'd get 15-20 MPG.

1 December 30, 2021

WaldoJPeabody Ya don't ya love how bullshit becomes true ? Cars get the same gas millage today , fuel efficiency my ass !

December 30, 2021

Patriot Darrell Gill Well, ok, they're a bit better now, easier to keep in tune. to get 20 MPG you had to be fresh off a tuneup. Points, Plugs, Condenser and timing.

1 December 30, 2021

WaldoJPeabody Who wants 4 or 6 cylindars ? I want a big honking V-8 , and I also miss carburetors! When you opened one up " you new the gas was going quickly but you'd get there fast .

December 30, 2021 Edited

Patriot Darrell Gill Oh, yeah, I had an 88 C1500 with the 350, drop to 4th 5 miles from the Texas Boarder, a shift back to 5th at about 100 MPH and be doing 135 by the time ya hit the state line.

And still got 20 mpg if ya kept your foot out of it.

Feel free to share

December 30, 2021

Nope you would brake the plastic on the car getting it in now

1 December 30, 2021

Remember these when you got a flat tire ???

4 December 30, 2021

Yep. Back when there were bumpers on cars.

2 December 30, 2021

WaldoJPeabody damn bumpers couldn't take the weight not ....

1 December 30, 2021

I miss the useless shit . Like this damn thing ! Pocket fisherman.

2 December 30, 2021

You cast this and it's gonna hit your feet ! Every time .....

December 30, 2021

Patriot Darrell Gill Ron Poppell I believe, knew a guy that swore by his. Of course, he wasn't doing any real casting, He'd just pull over when he got off a bridge and work the downstream side a bit. Kept it under his seat.

1 December 30, 2021

WaldoJPeabody You absolutely 💯 % could not cast these damn things ! If you let go of the button above your head you could get to the river bank . Otherwise worthless....

December 30, 2021

Patriot Darrell Gill Like I say, he wasn't doing a full cast, more of a flick, Most of what he was fishing 30 foot got ya to the far bank.

1 December 30, 2021

WaldoJPeabody I'd have to see that ! I'd put money on it , that they can't cast ! I got mad a one , and it's still in the river I bet ? If someone found it they'd throw it back !!!!

1 December 30, 2021

Patriot Darrell Gill He demonstrated in the Warehouse one time, about half side arm half underhand with a stong flick of the wrist. Of course, I don't think he ever crossed a bridge he didnt wet a line at.

1 December 30, 2021 Edited

WaldoJPeabody Wel I remember mine ( for a brief minute) being a little different.. It was the first ones that came out though.

December 30, 2021

Patriot Darrell Gill Might have been. I'm going to let you have the last work, Thanks for the banter My Brother,, It's been a while.

1 December 30, 2021

WaldoJPeabody It's fun to throw things out there like this , once in a while . It's been fun ☺

Did anyone have a station wagon with my the fake wood and rear facing seats? My mom had the Dodge Challenger pace car for 1971 I believe it was red with black racing stripes convertible.

WaldoJPeabodyIt was the best!!!

2 December 30, 2021

KristineGullikson Abot the fake wood paneling. Texas Aggie bought one, called a friend over to show it off, friend said it looked terrible. Aggie admitted that it looked better in the box.
