    Lol. I still have mom's. As when we buried her, we had them put it in the casket with here. A few days later it showed up in the kitchen drawer. We know it is the same as she had broken it over somebody's but. Lol

    I do!!!!! When I was 5, I played around with it in my father's 55 Buick special. Pushed it in, and when it popped out it was cherry red so dumb arse me stuck my right thumb on it. The rest is history that I still vividly remember 65 years later.........................

    That's me at 14 except it was a .410/.22 over under and I would break it open and tie it to the handle bars. It had a 2 power scope that would work for both the .22 and .410 on squirrels. Nobody even blinked as you rode by!

    Had a red bike like that black one. Carried a semi auto 22 in a scabbard on my pony through town and out to ride. Old guy in the hardware store would sell kids 22 cartridges if their parents let him know it was okay. He had a tablet (paper) and we had to write our name, the date, and the ammo we bought. I don't remember the price, only bought there if I ran out of what dad provided.

    Chokes, yep still on my Oliver 1650 tractor, my 1962 IH farm truck and our '77 Dodge pickup.

    Boot jacks, all the grands know what they are and how to use them. Even for tie shoes it keeps the back of your footwear from getting broke down by using one boot to hold down the other to get it off. They are hanging on my back porch bench but opposite of a boot jack, boot pulls.

    I wonder how many of the current crop of auto-tech grads. have ever seen these outside of a book, much less know how to set them?

    I had 22 bullets in my pocket from hunting with my father the day before in elementary school and put them in my desk that day. My teacher walked by when my desk was opened and asked me about them, said "hmm". And that was it.

    I gave a wooden spoon to a little old German lady at a place I worked at. She handled all the inventory and samples and demo's for the sales people. Salesman can be unruly and not detailed oriented, just human nature. I used WWW's wood burner to engrave "Salesman Paddle" on the handle. She LOVED it! Too bad she could not use it trying to keep us all inline :rofl: :lol:
