[dbescher]

feel old: When most of the smith and wesson revolvers listed under the C&R category on gunbroker are dated to 1973....

 

[waffles]

You think that's bad, next year it'll be 74!

...when my dog has to protect my honor from the panhandlers. Lost my speed in hand to hand on the street!

I'm in good company. I was born the same year as the Corvette, Cheez Whiz, Eggo, Matchbox, Peeps, Tater Tots and WD-40.

When I was born WW2 was still going on.

Ya gotta admit: Eggos and Aerosol Cheese have got to be the best inventions since sliced bread. I've never read the ingredients in Whiz, and I probably don't want to. I may have the wrong product in mind because I think cheese whiz was in a jar when I was a kid. But if you were ever single living alone after leaving the nest these were staples in many a guy's diet. I had a can of Spaghettios yesterday, and I still don't know what the meat substance balls are made from, but if Angel eats them then they're good enough for me.
(That Corvette would've been a much nicer Christening present than a lousy savings bond!)

I remember when a cherry used S&W model 10 could be had
for $40.
I'm so old that my childhood and adolescence were
in black and white.
I remember NIB Colt 1911s sold for $95.
I remember when Win primers could be had for
$13.00. Per thousand. Yes, I really stocked up.

 

[alwslate]

I remember in my teen years in the late 50s when good running used cars could be bought for as little as $50.

Finding my box of 8 tracks

Old, Obsolete and Quirkish, my box of Quadraphonic 8 tracks!

I had The Who album, "Quadraphinia" on factory 7" reel to reel in stereo, I couldn't afford a Quad Reel setup from Sony or AKHI in 1975!

But that $40 may have been a week's pay.
A week's pay ( for most people ) will still buy you a new S & W revolver with some money left over.

Does that stand for Creaky and Rickety?

The only reaason I went out and bought a Sony 7" tape, double speaker unit, was beacuse,

I bought a 7" tape reel by Dwain Eddy's, "Twisting & Twanging" and did not have a way to hear it.

Memories.
