I'm just south of Jackson in Chester County and the Sweetlips Ridge Runners which I am currently the only member left from the 80's I guess it's sad to some that I can't get out of the past but it was just like drinking beer around the camp fire all those years ago... I was the last one standing?

[KBG]

Oh yeah I've been to Columbia and all over Tennessee but there is nothing like home I guess.

Yeah I'm 47 and I liked the past quite a bit too.

my son and four other millennials I know are now into trikes. Of course they have a much different idea of the 70s and 80s than those of us who lived it.

Trikes are now fashionable anyway. Like classic cars or motorcycles. Since nearly everyone doesn't know any better, most ppl think trikes were banned and destroyed or you would die from simply riding one across a flat grassy lot. Danger is appealing so naturally, they're seeing a big resurgence in interest.

Next thing to go huge will be the used lawn darts market. I sure miss those too.

Sounds like we need to hear the story about the "Dreaded West Side"

And welcome from another old timer!

Remember when us kids did not have to be in a special seat and all trussed up like a NASCAR driver while dad drove with a beer between his legs and a cig in the steering hand while mom made a baloney sandwich (gasp! baloney?) on white bread (gasp!!! even louder, white bread??) and handed it to us out the truck window while we rode in the pickup bed sitting on the wheel well? I do... and I loved it!

Speed dial was asking one of your neighbors, who was one of six households that shared a party or single phone line with you, to dial the number while you stood there and bled! Thanks for pointing it out Mr Chop!

Idk...I'm not that old, but i'm old enough to have ridden on the tractor axle gripping the fender with one hand, and holding the rope to release the scoop with the other cause i was small enough to fit between the seat and the fender. And thank God for that little strip of vinyl padding around the top of the dash on a C10. LOL

Welcome KBG :welcome::pics:

thanks for the warm reception everyone and oh yeah speed dial was when you didn't take your finger out the hole you just ripped it back as hard as you could... sorry for the confusion.

there is a east / west kinda thing here everyone from the east thinks the west stinks but I say we had the sack enough to venture out of the hills but still had sense enough to stop where they did making the west the best.
