Nostalgia/Days Gone By

There are tutorials on the YouTubes that illiterate how to make those bulbous jokes into the fun "illegal" kind.
I haven't gotten around to making any yet.

 

I believe there is still one in Montague.

 

My paternal Grandfather owned and ran his own milk truck (picking up cans) after milking his cows daily. About 10 years ago met an old man that had worked for my Grandfather (for less than a week) but he said with much respect, "your Grandpa could place a milk can on the top row without swinging it behind him either hand!". I was proud of knowing that.

 

All the guys I knew that had can routes were strong like bull!!!

That is amazing

 

Old enough to remember these? And having used them?

 

You're Willys?

 

My dad would start with, "dammit boy, can you see?" of course I would say, "yeah" which would cause him to say, "well shine the danm thing over here so I can see!!" Dang I miss him.

Edited to add, the flashlights of the 60's and 70's were no more than a flickering candle compared to today's flashlights.

 

Yup my first vehicle was a 81 Chevy step side 4x4. Hated those things.

 

Oh yes.... those were the days. Probably why my ears have a hissing sound in them constantly too. Lol

 

You got that right. My phone has a better light than those old lights.

 

That's be nice but no.

 

Found this info on the Elliott computer in the picture.

 

I love those little trucks.
Had a 1947 with a small block chevy , flipped axles and 36 inch super swampers when I was in my late 20's to early 30's. Even had a beer keg mounted in the bed for a gas tank.
Not the best on road vehicle that's for sure but off road was a blast.

Now I have to find some pictures.
