Some were part of my life but some a bit before me and some after.  I would of thought at 72 i was one of the oldest on here but guess not.Brings back some solid memories of when life seem to be easier and simpler.  And then we had this butthead from Russian who was going to bury us in his life time.  Never happen but the folks would talk about it and worry.My kids have never caught a gopher with twine, cut the tail off, let it go and then collect the bounty, nor have they shine any rabbits as there is not any. My sisters can tell about cranking the separator by hand but for me it was electric.  Bitch to take apart and clean all the parts.  My kids are getting in their late 30 to 40.  Once in a while they have mention some good memories as i hope it would be.  would be interesting to know what they would say 30 years from now and compare it to someone who would write, tape or whatever about yesterday.  Good start on here. Wish my grandparents had wrote some down when they came from the old country. My memory was getting a TV, REA and not 32 volt and my first transistor radio ($75, still have) without tubes while theirs would be getting some electronic whatever.  Still have my record player with the handle for the power (crank) and this weekend maybe we can play some Red Ryder records with the grand kids on it.  And just maybe we can all hold hands with one holding the sparkplug on the gas motor while the other cranks the crank on what I assume  was oil cool with the big flywheel out in the open gas motor that ran the pump jack.  One of the dumbest things I feel my brother felt we should do every so often.  But then every so often we did it as he was the oldest.  He said it made it grow with each jolt (there's more to that story).  db</blockquote>
