The latter would often break or the tape would stretch after a few dozen plays, especially if you weren't careful to keep the cogs tightly wound. My cogs still aren't wound very tight.

Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 So far the ONLY thing on the list I had was the click clack balls. I wore Lees Jeans, pants and jacket, black harness boots, and a Bush Hat ala Christopher George in "Rat Patrol". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant that I thought the quote, "if you remember______, you weren't there," was originally said about Woodstock. I was almost four when the sixties ended, so I can safely say I remember very little of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highwall Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I picked up a rock on the side of the road back in the day when pet rocks were the rage but I couldn't keep it. Turns out it was a rolling stone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Christmas one year I got this heavy package about 8 inches long, 4 inches wide and 2 inches thick. From my little brother. It was a concrete brick. Not this one, but the same kind. On it, with a magic marker, he had written PET BRICK. Not sure if that was genius, or just cheap.

Patagonia Pete Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Picking the best 8-Track player to hang under your dash ... and installing the speakers!! It was tough finding room under there next to the Sears under dash air conditioning unit!! Getting a casset deck so I could finally save the programs on my Vic20. Installing aluminum rear window louvers on my AMC Sprit. Having to cough up another $17 to replace a window ... broken .. when we forgot to remove the drive-in movie speaker. Getting new tires at Western Auto and sitting for hours at home browsing through the Montgomery Ward and Sears catalogues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to love those mid-late 1970s cars though... 19.5 seconds 0-60, I kid you not! My early income was mostly spent trying to get that slug to actually move a little.

What I remember most about the 1970s was the wood veneer paneling in every single room of our house. And the mustard-colored furniture. And the avocado-colored cars everywhere. And the thick sideburns and big moustaches. Hey, now!!! I just put wood veneer paneling in my den and it looks great, but yeah. My dad bought houses and fixed them up, put a lot of apartments in basements for the college kids, and we used a LOT of that stuff. Dad called it "house trailer paneling". The new stuff is getting hard to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the '60s. I graduated from high school in 1960 and college in 1965, was commissioned in 1965 (increased the world population by 1 in 1966 and and again in 1968) and went off to Okinawa in 1966 and Vietnam in 1968, got out in 1969 and was teaching a 6th grade in Utah by the end of the year. Getting educated, fighting Godless communism, and teaching the nation's youth. Never saw any of the original Star Trek until the '90s, missed the moon landing, never used drugs but drank gallons of rum (Jamaican Black flag before it went out of business) and Coca Cola. Yeah, I remember the '60s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
