Remember when

I remember when my gramps would shake his head and say “Monkey see, monkey do”. He missed his calling as a philosopher.

 

Our neighborhood gas station (with full service attendants that washed your windshield) had physical rotating price and gallon dials. It only went up to 99 cents a gallon so when the price hit $1 a gallon they had to set it at 50 cents and put a hand written sign that the total was twice what’s displayed.

 

Monkey get in trouble too..

 

I remember every garage had girlie pix and raunchy cartoons pinned up by the coffee pot or similar.

You don’t see that around here.

 

this is one of 1 million different unseen costs of inflation. Having to fix all kinds of machines with these problems.

 

Remember when food had like 3 ingredients, and didn’t need big warnings?

I bought a bioengineered pie. Walmart probably sells as much pie as anybody in America.

We’re all gonna wind up like the Borg, only with three eyeballs.

 

No. That Scout has been in the family since it was brand-new. At one point we owned three of them back in 1973, plus an IHC pickup.


There she sits in the boatyard, waiting for some lovin’.

 

It's that "natural flavor" you gotta watch out for...

 

I worked for a person that used his Scout to pull a huge boat

The type one would keep at a marina on the Ocean or a Huge lake.

IH pick up with the 392 Engine maybe the last year for pick ups was fun to drive.

 

Tube TV and Tube amps...

 

That brings back memories of grabbing radios out of the trash or that did not work

I cobbled them together had my own tube tester .

I must of had at least 50 at one time.

 

Back when TV was called the boob tube

 

I was helping my mom clean out the basement of her father's house (he passed in Oct 2022 at 100.5 years old).

He has several boxes of just tubes.
My aunt got the biggest one.
I got the a close 2nd (RCA Electron Tube Radiotron 810) 10" long and about the diameter of a soda can.

 

I was going to say the original Mcintosh tube amps pack quite a wallup.

 

Brings back memories, I grew up driving a '61.

 

Ever see the other one like this under the clutch pedal?

It was the engine starter switch. Made sure you had the clutch in to start it. A relay took it out of the circuit once the engine was running.

 

Anyone remember TCBY?

 

That's the high beam switch...
