50+ thread

My best friend's parents had a full sized Dodge truck with full double/crew cab back in the 70's (they had 4 kids), it had a camper shell on back. My friend's Mom, for extra money, used to regularly go around to all the liquor stores and restaurants in town and collect their cardboard and glass (bottles), and then she took truck loads to the local recycling center. On weekends or summer vacation, we would often go with her to help load/unload stuff. Many times we would ride in the camper shell. Being young boys (like in the 10 - 14 year old range), we loved to wait until we were sitting at a stop light, then one of us would swing up the camper shell door, and the other would moon the cars behind us. Next light, we switched who did what. I have no idea if his mom ever found out, but we though that was just fun as all hell.

 

Great memories

 

Yep. I continued using paper shopping bags to cover every text book I had, even all the way through college. When you pay $100+ for a damn Physics or Calculus book, that you are gonna use for 3 or 4 semesters, you wanna protect your investment!

Good morning everybody! I have received my free porch haircut and am a couple cups in. All I have left is switch out the hitch’s and add a little water to the tank and twiddle my thumbs a bit check in is 2. I don’t even have to stop for groceries this trip.

 

Good news! Everything still works!

Small world Chuck. I grew up in Fremont/Newark. Went Ruschin Elementary school. It was a different community back then.

Nice fish. Welcome. The lakes here in my area are a little smaller than that…hahaha. Though the German Browns run mighty big is some of them.

 

Mark I grew up in the Mission San Jose area in Fremont and Graduated from Mission San Jose HS in 1980

I've not been back to Fremont in 40 years since I got out of the Marine Corps in 1984 and I bet it's not what I remembered what it used to be

 

I know that part of town. It’s been a while for me as well. We ended up moving to the very North end of the State. Graduated in 79 from Eureka Senior High. Go Loggers!

 

On my way!

 

Sears mail order for school clothes that would become the summer cut offs for play clothes.

 

Morning gang. Beautiful, sunny day here today after yesterdays gloomy mess. Make it a good one

 

My choice as well. My deck had a light coating this morning and now, even though it is only about 36 or 37 degrees, it's just about gone. This time of year I let Mother Nature take care of things.
