One thing which I don't like the newer GMs and their computer controlled everything is how slow it works. A couple of times today I drove through a temperature inversion which instantly fogged my windshield; after turning on the defrost it takes about 8-10 seconds for the blower to kick in. Today while I was driving virtually blind with somebody on my bumper and no place to pull over.
Grandpa, tell me bout the good ole days............

There was only one who I enjoyed hunting and fishing with.............my Dad. It was never the same after that. My Dad taught me how to swim quietly like an American Indian...at least that's what he said. and... how to hunt ducks squirrels rabbits etc. No deer however...We felt lucky to have a single shot 22.
Good pics Richard.

Yes! I turned 60 two years ago, and I firmly believe these are the best days of my life as well. Wifey and I are living life like we never could at 20. I am truly a blessed man.

The good ole days... there were 8 of us and only one TV. You had to get up and walk across the room to change the channel... OH, the Horror!!! All that we ever had was B/W screens...Cartoons were only on for a few hours on Saturday morning, not on demand as they are now. Then we went outside to play.

i remember those quirky tube tvs well. my dad would always be opening it and pulling out tubes to take to thriftys and putting on the vacuum tube tester. he kept it running though. he even converted it to fully remote.
he learned to tell one of the 4 kids to get up and change the channel. occasionally i would have to reach thru the back and gently tap on tv tube with screwdriver to get picture to show up. kids were expendable back then i guess.
Thats good glad someone here had some good ole days, great memories are great to have it might keep your compass pointing in right direction some day...
My Dad taught me how to work, but most importantly he taught me how to play. We had tracking hounds, they were his passion. Coyotes were an infestation. The County put up a $15 bounty. So we hunted. This pic was a successful hunt. Me on the left, Brother on the right. Pretty good payday for one afternoon of fun.
My Dad's sense of humor is displayed in the name of the dog I'm holding. Sheithead.
