Remember when

I just realized that I started working on real cars and bicycles at an early age, and I never really had toy cars. I had a Tonka dump truck, a Cox slot car, a Cox .049 dune buggy, a pinewood derby car . . . but that was it.

I had an electric train, but not much track. I was really into building model airplanes, from balsa, since 10 years old. I had a lot of model airplanes, but only 3 with engines.

I still have a few little toy cars given me by others though.






Edit,… I forgot about building the Wacky Woody model and the Fury III model, back in 1965. Those things never really meant much to me, and I didn’t keep them around long. Being with the Air Force, we moved a lot, and there were a lot of things that I didn’t keep long.

 

I only remember seeing The Aardvark and the Ant one time, at a drive-in movie theater out by Glendale Arizona.

I don’t recall which movie, but I think it was some Disney movie about a cat that has nine lives and goes to cat heaven.

My little sister loved that movie, but I can’t for the life of me recall the name of it.

 

I always associated that music with Vanguard.

Me too. I especially liked them in orange.


I also like the digital displays on certain cars.

 

Orange is good, it matches my cats. And definitely, I thought about getting the digital dash for my 84 Camaro back then. Always was a sucker for the KITT car

Pioneer is a longtime favorite, still have my receiver and 101 CD player

 

Your not right.

 

Well how about this one then….

 

And it’s you’re

 

I have nothing.

 

Remember when you new where you put your glasses.

 

I got this too. But they are always where you last left them.

 

Thank goodness for yellow sticky notes

 

Heck I can't find those.

 

You ever go to look for you glasses only to realize they’re tilted up on top of your head?

 

Nope only readers always on my nose, or if safety/readers on bill of hat

 

Oh yeah!

 

When I was young if someone "swiped your card" it meant they stole it

 

I bought a .22 Rifle with my paper route money from Western Auto on lay A way. My Dad had to go sign for it when I finally paid it out

 

My bride and I had to go in and purchase a TV on lay-away purposely to build credit when we first got married. Her dad had to co-sign.
