No Terry, you can’t put ice tires on and take it on Simcoe. Brian would love you if you did.

They were trolling for subs!

Lew that happened to me at an advertising agency. We collected food for a church on King street and me having a van volunteered to deliver it. Pulled up with a trunk full and got some help unloading. Went home and looked in the truck to unload my own that I had bought for Christmas a few days before and it was all gone! It was only two cases of soft drinks and other items. Now I unload the day I bring it home! didn’t mind that they took it!

No John he is only 10. I take them out on walks and teach them to Respect nature and people. and yes they have iPads and the internet that can influence them. Maybe when they will be teens they will change. Hopefully not on my watch.

Put a mattress in the back of the “truck” and jig away!

Johnny D we hold our kids close and teach them values. I have 4 daughters and they all have kids (9) we are a “family” they have respect for all of us. My parents kept us in line and we had to obey them or we got it. Today kids roam on their own and no supervision! Parents leave it up to the schools! That is crap! Teaching starts in the home. last night was and example, taught one l how to stoke a fire and then we roasted chestnuts. We sat outside and talked. He asked why am I getting smoke in my eyes, then I thought him about wind direction! Can we roast marshmallows, yes go find some, he did and and was going to hold them over the fire NO we need skewers. Do we have any? Yes we do. He told me he will always remember what we did. he’d did burn the skewer a few times, they were mini mellows. It was fun and I’m sure he will cherish what he learned. A lesson and it was fun.

And the nuts were good too.

same here Lew 9 kids under 11 and 8 adults. One noisy day!

have a great and safe weekend.

Great catch Simon. rain and more rain, get ready for snow by the looks of it. We are in Canada.

They moved from Woody?

One of you guys should start a “Looking back” thread! where we we’re in . . .some years ago we had one. What do you do? I’m writing a short story about my evolution in the typesetting trade, from day one to today and backing it up with pictures and lots of collectibles. The changes that I have survived but MY kid have no clue what got them where they are now. Hard work. It was a long journey, no days off and it got me some amazing memories and friends. I even hired some of my teachers. Work in progress and even fishing experiences.

Your parents took you? I drove! And ended up living at 7 and Pine valley many years later. I was there when they started the Colossus centre and demolished the drive in. I don’t remember going for treats

Lew I think we are in the same zone. I think they dragged me in ‘78, what a waste of time. Did enjoy the drive-in in the early 70s. One of my son in-laws used to live at Langstaff and Hwy 27. Used to sit in his backyard; HUGE, and watch them across the street for free. NO sound! the colossus centre at 400 and 7 was A drive in! I probably sat in COSTCO!

50 lbs more that today! Why did they make them ? I had it painted and new seat . . .looked great when it ran, hated cold weather, but looked good.and it pulled a shed amazingly off the nine I did put in a 440 thanks to TJ in Angus I believe. Like driving a superbee today! Sorry Wayne, you know antiques rule when done right.

I only had one and wish I still had it, paid. $140.00 It was used when I acquired it.

Very well put cliff. You spoke highly of her when you were here for a visit. Our thoughts are with you.

Did it quack? It’s a duck. did you catch fish?

like I said, we can’t take it with us. What is the point! last night I was watching a program called “what food made America” history channel. kellog’s corn flakes was the king, came between two brothers who eventually hated each other and won lost in court. Then came Post, as in cereal went at Kellog and did well only to have health problems and blew his head off. Mars was another, “Milky way” conflict between him and Hershey and his son! Want to see the end of this one. Frozen food was developed by an American made Birdseye And lived in Labrador in the Bush and learned how to freeze fish from the Innuit. We are only here for a short time! Let’s enjoy it. ut They have all gone!

We are harming this planet with pollution, plastic and chemicals . . . hiking taxes to stop this is probably not the solution. Where does the money go? we will still have to throw out garbage run our necessities until we can find something else. Plastic and CO2 is looking to be the major pollutant. We here can do our part but other nations as mentioned will not change and we send millions to aid them pollute even more. I have recycled since 1979, very conscious on what goes in the trash. I look after it. If every nation did their part we could solve this or come close. All of us are on this planet for a very short time 80-90 years, why do we need wars and spend billions on billions of defence? WE can’t take it with us. When bombs are thrown into the sea what happens to ocean life? I probably have 20 years and hope they solve this problem for out children. Greed is a major cause. As I stated you can’t take it with you. My grade five teacher always said all you need is 6 feet! I do drive a small vehicle and make note that it only goes out 6 days a week, NO more. I want to be down to five or less soon.

Congrats on the car and the wedding Wayne.

Going down is good! After a few hours coming back up, not so good.

If it was male the "other guy" would have sounded off! a few choice words at you! Nice catch, smoke away!
