When I was a kid.......

I remember as a kid that Mondays was wash day no matter what. All the neighbors and grannies wash was on the line winter or summer didn't matter. Winter in Minnesota you definitely didn't fold the clothes over your arm to bring them in or you would have pieces.

In the winter, how do you taco a carpet when getting it from the van into a bedroom...... without snapping it in half?

I remember having to get up to change the channel… Wasn’t that big a deal, there were only six channels…

And my first science project was a “tube tester”.

Mine was showing that I could boil water in a paper cup over a bunson burner. Do they even have bunson burners anymore?

My first science project was getting married and getting her pregnant. I was 19 and had just been drafted.

...and a degree in drafting. You impress me more all the time.

About half the kids had those "banana" seat bicycles. My little brother had one. I had the standard 2-wheeler and much preferred it as my great pleasure was longer rides. Most probably it was the cheapest Sears offered at that time but whatever brand and style it was a really great bike from my memories. Our little clan was about 10 boys and we'd explore as far as we could go out in any direction and be back for lunch, dinner or sundown.

I was the youngest and first to own a new bicycle. It was a fancy red bicycle. Got it when I was 10. Felt like I put a million miles on it.
My dad built me a 10 x 10 shed in the back yard. It had windows and looked like a small house. Spent many hours in there playing records on an antique wind up record player.

Do porta potties on job sites count?

Right? I was just thinking about the kind with the grate floor. Nothing like sitting down on an iced up toilet seat and snow blowing up your ass.
