I'm going to be up all night with this..........

- Anyone remember the Helm's bakery man in the cool truck with the pullout bread trays?

- Used to take the bus from Fullerton to Newport for .25 each way. We'd bring another .75 for a slice and soda from Perry's Pizza. I was in 6th grade and it was safe to do. (Why would anyone ever deliver pizza?)

One better....I grew up in Michigan and we had rabbit ears on top of the T.V. And sometimes....just to get a channel to come in we would get the Aluminum Foil out...

Yeah, I saw the Blackstar ride posted on the Trail Angel site but I can't swing it. I actually have to work tomorrow - dang it!!

I did ride yesterday - a quick 38 mile road ride. It was good to get out and spin...this rain is really putting a damper on all our riding.

As for Fully Loop tomorrow, I have a few deadlines and not sure I'll make it. If I do, it will probably only be the later loop.

Have fun with the girls tomorrow and tell them all I said Hello!!

There's a few of us here who can remember just having a TV was a big deal, then came color!!!

I remember before they had bus service or before Perry's was even there on the beach.

I was one of the local hoods who hung out there. Nova Express was one group of mine.

....I worked on a TRS-80 in high scool then programmed it for a JUCO, before that it was punch cards to write a S/W program...

skateboarding on a thunderoll skate board with Mark V urethane wheels, very close to the first ones made... then it was road rider wheels....

had a single fin, dual fish, quad and finally a tri-fin...

I use to watch my Dad do Morse code...

Ummm, we hopped our back fence and walked across a field to highschool... (and Jr High for that matter)

I saw pine needles sticking out of the Telephone pole in our front yard...from a violent Hurricane or two...

My Uncle Junior in Baton Rouge grew Tomatoe's and Rabbit's...

Remember Roller rinks and skating backwards....WTF was that ???

Ummmm, I do remember the Tubes on the TV's and how the phamarcy had that platform thingy that I could never quite see over as Dad plugged away...

Just a few...

This is a cool thread, I must stop now !

Trash-80!

Wait...I am still under 30 (okay, turning 29 this year) and I didn't have any of those utopia items you mentioned until I was in college.

And, I'll argue, I think the world was better off when we didn't have email, cell phones, call waiting, caller id...

Does the word 'mimeograph' mean anything to you? If not, you're not as old as I am... I can remember that distinct smell of the blue ink as the teacher ran the copies for the class. Oh to be young and dizzy again....

Certaintly does bring back great memories. Part of the reason why I ride. Back in the 80s nobody was inside playing video games or watching that much T.V. My parents always booted me out of the house. Hence, I was always on my BMX riding around and seeing if my friends were home. On occasions when I was in the house I was on one of these:
