[QUOTE="db-2, post: 320057, member: 4743"] At 74 i can relate to all this but one memory i have is: Somewhere around 1950 something there was a breakfast food call Jet. Came in little boxes, snack size with kids flying on the cover. So one day i took a box after breakfast and climbed up a boxelder tree to about 12 to 15 feet. Ate the box and i really did consider the fact that now i could also fly out of this tree. I remember looking at the ground and i really did think i could now fly and all i had to do was jump. Some of the toys from then i still have in the boxes as certain ones ma said they were indoor toys. Some wore out but did find that double holster RR cap gun holster from that time on ebay but the Rogers's guns are silver and not gold like that ones i had. Hope to find some gold RR cap guns one day. Besides the Red Ryder BB gun hanging on the wall i did have Ryder cap gun and holster but long gone. One toy, at age 12, my dad bought me a 52 Buick Super for 50 dollars to be my first car. Red and black, two door hard top. Look good but straight 8 had some problems. Spent many hours working on that car. Would like that again but little out of price right now. All i have now is a picture of me and that car. My dad bought a 1948 KB-5 IHC truck new in 48. It appears i will become the owner soon. Sent the check. 27000 miles, original tires, cattle rack and other than it first year on the farm it has been stored inside. Broke my arm on that truck falling off the hay rack to the ground. First thing i am going to do is measure how high that was. Title should still be in ma's name as it was then. Excellent shape considering its age. I cannot wait to drive again, as for me it has been since the late 1960 when i last drove. Never did shift the rear axle into high and i hope to do that now. To be pass down. Do have a picture of family going to circus in that truck as car was in shop when looking at the picture i was around 3 as younger brother was not in picture. Yes, most memories are good memories as they should be. db [/QUOTE]
