    When I was a kid my dad taught me how to fix televisions. But I didn’t have a signal generator, so if I wanted to do an alignment I had to get up at 5:30 in the morning and wait for the test pattern.

    I’ll bet I was the only 13 year old kid in Duluth Minnesota to own his own oscilloscope. I often wished I hadn’t traded it for a Gibson guitar in the 70s

    But the guitar is actually worth about $1000 now and the oscilloscope would be virtually worthless except as an antique. After all these years the vacuum tubes would be burned out and unavailable.

    The Gibson still sounds pretty good.

    Does anyone remember when Oleo Margarine came in white sticks? You had to mash the sticks into a bowl and break the yellow color capsule into the bowl and mix it together to make the margarine yellow.

    I had clearance for that sort of thing. (USMC issued)


    ...Maybe "Alter Ego" would have been a better choice. ??

    As long as that person is still alive and his wife is still active in "that which we may not speak of", he is off limits.

    I did get a good laugh though.

    We used to call it, "Ring and Run."

    The more adventurous and impromptu kids would change the game to "Ring and Stay", and try to carry on a conversation with whomever answered the door by asking out-of-the-world crazy questions...
