Remember when

Yeah I do.

I also remember old people displaying things on the rear decks of their cars. Ball caps from the VFW post etc.

 

Remember when the 1GR was the “NeW unReLiaBle toYoTA cRaP”

 

some of us let our 11yos weld... (yay scouts)

 

Eighth grade shop class. Cutting a piece of walnut on one of those big, stand up industrial bandsaws. Tink, tink, tink, freaking clueless, than boom, I hit the deck so quick as the blade exploded. Scared the hell out of me. Pretty sure the shop teacher knew it was about to happen. Anyway, tells me I need to bring in $5.95 for a new blade. Never did. Scarred me for life..don't think I'll ever run a bandsaw again. Terrifying.

You lol are correct.

 

If that was a bowl of Life, that would be Mikey, he'll eat anything.

 

Still have my woodshop hang in the wall candle holder from the 70s.

 

I remember running some 10baseT into the bathroom ... for reasons.

 

Woodshop, metalshop and auto shop. Made me what I am today. From my understanding they've all been deleted from education or indoctrination. Had my 1st granddaughter reading a tape at 8, she had the let me do it attitude. And I let her . Always turned the wrench the right direction. I could go on and on.

 

EVERY given task is life experience, pile it on them. They're sponges.

 

About to turn 60 and I still have my Electronic Football and it still works LOL.

 

Yes, sir! Me too

 

Me too! 50 years old. Best christmas present ever!

 

I had home economics in the 7th grade. We cooked stuff and then ate it. Nothing was better. I also had typing class (aka baseball card trading class).

 

For us it was the box and Freestylin magazine.

:^D

 

Same. Sometimes we ate sometimes we learned cooking. :^D

 

Remember...?

I still have my Merlin and my Charger Light Beam car and both still work....and Sputnik is only a few months older than me.

Growing up, I always wanted to find out why something broke. I would disassemble it and sometimes fix it. I love small engines.
You may not belueve this, but I have never purchased a new or used lawn mower. And yes, I've owned my home since 1985 and mow my own lawn. I rescue lawn mowers, fix them and use them or sell them. Weed whackers too.
My first engine was a REO horz shaft from a reel mower. At 11 or 12 I spent hours trying to get it to run...and one day I did....once I realized I had been winding the rope on the pulley the wrong way.
