I'm 78 with osteo arthritis in every joint, doesn't stop me from doing anything. I just can't work too long and when I'm done

I feel like somebody beat me up with a baseball bat or I fell off of a roof.
You know you are old when accepting pain everyday is just proof you are still alive!

15 cents for the ones that were propeller driven by a wound-up rubber band.
We used to tape a smoke bomb with a short fuse and a firecracker with a long fuse to them and twist the fuses together, light it and off it goes.

Looked like engine trouble before it blew up. 🙃

The hobby store used to sell a "jet engine"...wonder if anyone remembers. All it was was a metal container about 2", maybe 2.5" long about 3/4" diameter the tapered top unscrewed. It had a small hole in it. It came with pellets, you'd put one in, screw top on & put a fuse through the hole. It had a metal bracket. You'd light fuse & snap it on bracket.
I mounted one to a plastic model car. A friend & I were at either end of the concrete porch so he could flip it around to me. It worked great until it melted through the car's roof!
