Watch those age jokes there youngster!

Yes I can remember when the first house in the neighborhood got color TV (they won it at a church raffle), and I remember where I was when Kennedy was assassinated, and the Beatles came on the Ed Sullivan show. All these events changed the world.

LOL, one of those hey I resemble that remark sort of things .

Must not have been an amish church . I remember getting grandpas top of the line vcr, it had a 25' cord on that bad boy, had it hooked up to a sweet console TV .
Soon guys will be saying when we were young-ins they had gas engines on chainsaws and cars.

Thanks! I figured it was a Homie by the color but the recoil was different than a Wiz.

Your generation has seen a lot of history, mine not so much. The greatest generation probably saw the most change (and milestone events) that any generation ever will as many of them grew up with no electricity and now some of the survivors have smart phones.

The only significant things that folks my age (40) have seen are the fall of communism, 9/11, and the rise of technology. Am I missing anything?

When I was little my mom's dad still had a black and white TV at their home. It was off to the side in the living room. Grandpa sat in "his" Lazy boy style chair for most of the day but if grandma was watching something on TV and the Twins were playing, grandpa had a little black and white TV in the far corner of the living room. He would turn that smaller chair over in the corner around so he could watch the Twins.

As a small kid in the early 80's I could not fathom why someone would want to watch a black and white TV. In reality it was a blessing for someone who spend the first 60 years of their life without TV!

Some guys use them to cut spear fishing holes. And a few remote resorts still put up ice each spring.

A good chain cuts great with rakers so I’d be curious to see how much difference there is with no rakers.

I asked him and he said it cuts faster and feels its more precise so he can square his holes better. His saws are clean as well, Must be because they are getting washed when they kick up water

After I cut ice (or any cutting for that matter) in the winter I put my saws on the floor in my electric sauna and let them dry off. Before I put them away in the garage I will run them briefly with bar oil to make sure the bar gets lubricated again.

His go from the truck to his pump room which is always 120 degrees and dry. He also sprays them with some type of gun oil. Has a couple really nice big huskys.

Don't underestimate the changes of the last 40 years. It is getting to the point where you can't sh*t without a computer involved somehow.

My dad has told me stories how they used to cut ice and stack it in saw dust on the side of the barn. Had ice way into August, one of the many thing he did not like about the farm. LOL

No spring house? Most of the old farms around here had spring houses and the water was cold all year round...

Our spring is in our basement. 4x4x4. Over flow pipe to the pasture. Only ever saw it dry up once or twice. NO we don't drink from it. House was built 1868.

The one spring house I inspected had the entire basement zig-zagged with the spring "trench"....probably 10k gallons of water, flowed in one end, went back and forth, and then discharged to a ditch that ran to the farm pond. You had plank-work as a walkway over it. It was 100 degrees outside, that space was maybe 60, the water was cold. Lots of snakes in the rafters. I think they may have been a dairy, so may have needed the extra space for chilling milk?

Most I inspected had a trench that went around the outer wall of the basement...

Other than the moisture issue, I though having that volume of refrigeration, that would never stop, would be kind of convenient!

Technology is always tracking you.

The thing that pisses me off, is that if you bring game camera pics to the sherriff in relation to a crime they will not do anything about.

 

[Philbert]

You still have the option of a civil action.

Don't even want to watch another video of a high tech, Japanese toilet.

I wonder if that would hold water being the police would not investigate.

Hasn't happened to me but to several people up here. One guy hit several ATV's with his truck. The sheriff tracked him down a few days later and he said it wasn't him. They did not investigate further.

 

[Philbert]

That's why they get away with it. Hoping that the Sheriff is too busy, and that the other guy won't take the time and trouble to follow up on it.
