Remember when

KC-135 and B-52s with water injection.

 

They had water injection on the KC135s when i first got to Dyess, that was 93

 

Nice my pops flew the KC135

 

Penny candy was mentioned in another thread.
There was a Ben Franklin 5-10 in our neighborhood. They had a whole shelf of individual candy for .01, .05, .10. You could grab a little paper sack and get yourself 50 tootsie rolls for 50 cents. If you wanted.
Who knows. Maybe you wanted some Bazooka gum or some lemon heads.
Sky's the limit.....you had 50 cents.

 

I forgot that I had this. This is the original ac/dc cassette recorder for a RadioShack TRS-80.

This belong to my father but he never owned a RadioShack machine. He had it on an IBM PC-AT, and I still have it too.

It was originally a 64K machine but he upgraded it to 640 K of main memory.

 

That's what I used to store the BASIC code I wrote on my TI-99/4A when I was in middle school. I wanted the 32k RAM upgrade soooooo bad, but it was ridiculously expensive. At that time 32k of ram was more than you'd ever need in your lifetime!

 

I remember living along one of the local LVI flight paths the sounds of the approaching planes after years just become back ground noise .

Now that I seldom hear any over head planes when I do get one it sticks out.

 

Same. I stop what Im doing and look up see what is...especially helicopters. But that from a former aircraft mechanic

 

a good landing spot for the medivac chopper less then a mile away .

Sadly far to many landings.

 

An old supervisor works on those here. Kinda neat to see up close...especially if you arent IN an emergency.

 

…when companies actually made good, quality products, stood behind their work, and cared about the consumer? — and not only cared about money?

 

Or when service companies actually wanted your business and would return your messages?

Benny Hill. Funny show!!

 

The Benny Hill theme music is my phones ring tone.

 

3,000 hours in Navy P3’s…turbo props, probably not quite as loud as recips but I did get my first set of hearing aids last week.

 

How's the tinnitus treating you?

 

We made it more fun by having a building in between.

You were only able to see the Lawn Dart once it started on the downward arc

 

Must be after my time I have no idea.

I never watched much Television till I was camped out in motels .

I saw the first 15 minutes of many movies before I feel asleep.
