I remember that sawmill, we had an insulated box at the back door he would put the bottles in.
 
Now we're really showing our age and telling the same stories over and over or in this case the remember whens. :roflmao:

Remember the electric football game, we lost the football and made replacements out of cotton.

Mine was just like this with a flag pole. This is the bike I learned how to do jumps with.



I had a '67 model. Mine was yellow and had the tall gearshift on it. I bent the rear rim on it jumping ramp-to-ramp. The ramps were just a little too far apart for that jump.
 
Remember when time moved slower ....

Summer break seemed endless and the thought of school starting again wasn't even on the horizon

Waiting for your dad to get home from work to administer your spanking took four lifetimes

A five day family vacation felt like an eternity

Waiting for Saturday to go to the ballgame was unbearable


Things sure move faster as an adult. Its a shame.
 
I remember when I could walk through the little town I lived in with a 22 rifle over my shoulder and no one gave it a thought.
Or getting up at the crack of dawn and being on the river till dark and my folkes didn't worry a bit, everybody looked out for all of us.
Drinking from a water hose.
Ridding my bike without a helmet, didn't even know that there was such a thing.
and using my fingers as a play gun on the playground and not being expelled from school.
And most of all it sure was fun being a kid!
 
I may be young but I can still remember some things. Gas and diesel for less than a buck (89 cent lowest I ever saw), every one had a land line, rotary dile phones, beepers, Cell phones couldn't text, drinking from a water hose, internet was dile up if you had it, records, cassette tapes, VCR, a big TV was 36 in., Kids played outdoors and if you wanted to play video games you had to go to an arcade ($5 would get an hour of laser tag), Nintendo 64 (older cousin had one). I guess the only thing that stays the same is change.
 
“Remember:
Life is short, break the rules (they were made to be broken)
Forgive quickly, kiss slowly
Love truly, laugh uncontrollably
And never regret anything that makes you smile.
The clouds are lined with silver and the glass is half full (though the answers won't be found at the bottom)
Don't sweat the small stuff,
You are who you are meant to be,
Dance as if no one's watching,
Love as if it's all you know,
Dream as if you'll live forever,
Live as if you'll die today”


― James Dean

Click the link and give it a try. No cheating.

I got a 73.

Good luck.
Fun seeing some of those oldies. Been a lot of years since I've seen most of those and some of them I've never seen.
You got 90% (43 right out of 48). The average score is 73%.
 
The muscle car version of the same game was pretty challenging also.
