Warden Callaway Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Why do they still label gas as "unleaded" when probably 90% of drivers today never filled a tank of leaded gas. Or Ethyl for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cypress Sun Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Roads that were made with some kind of tar and the sharpest rocks they could find imbedded in it. Fishing from shore or seawall without getting hassled by the cops or property owners. Being able to go into a locally owned hardware store that had knowledgeable employees. $1.50 a carload light at the drive in. Movies that had intermission. Creature Feature on Channel 44 UHF Wide World of Sports skier crash. Utah Bob.....thanks for the reminder about the swing set posts. I had forgotten about that.

Crooked River Pete, SASS 43485 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 The other day I was thinking about those TV tube testers they had at most drug stores. If your TV quit working, you'd take off the back pull out all the tubes take them down to the store, and find out which one didn't work. There was a selection of new tubes there and you'd buy the one you need, go home and fix your TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
