    Going toe-to-toe with a carp on a stick and string would be a real blast. Those things can really pull.

    I can't top that, but I did tussle with and lost, as well landed some pretty big large mouth bass on the old cane poles.

    We used stick poles when fishing brushy creeks for brook trout which worked great for getting the worm into tight little pools, under logs and seams in the current.

    Number one is a Cox engine. It is small 2 stoke internal combustion engine that powered small planes and vehicles.

    Through the widespread administration of the smallpox vaccine, doctors declared the smallpox virus “extinct” in the United States in 1952. In 1972, smallpox vaccines stopped being a part of routine vaccinations in the United States. I have my scar on my upper left arm.....been there done that!

    We had the plastic cox planes and when we broke them we built the guillows models and put the cox engines in them. We must have built 15-20 guillows models we put cox .020, .049, and we put a medallion .09 in one! The poor mans TeeDee!

    Sitting here this morning watching the snow fall, it reminded me of the times when I was a kid (a long, long time ago) when we used to go right in front of our house to the roadside ditch and chop ice. Also went to the milkhouse for some fresh cream. Just took a lid off a can and skimmed the cream from the top. Then we'd make ice cream. Yummy!
