Ed brought out some old memories; so I decided to start an old memory page! The wheelbarrow was part of my childhood fantasy! It was my spaceship back in the 1940's. I would sit in it and imagine. What a crazy kid I was! Now I'm a crazy old coot!
Anyway if you have an old memory you want to share === feel free!

Very cool Orin!
I didn’t have to use my imagination as much.
I owned a Jimmy Jet. I had the bottom bunk bed and draped a couple of sheets down off my brother’s top bunk. I set the Jimmy Jet at the head off my bunk and traveled the galaxy. I would exit my spaceship and meander about strange but beautiful planets. The sheets gave me a dark ship but the cockpit view screen lit up my imagination!

Now that is humorous!

My first motorcycle experience was on Lloyd’s brand new 1967 red, white and blue Honda 350. I hopped on twisted the throttle and rode it straight across the Dairy Queen parking lot into the rear quarter panel of my black 1959 Ford. It put a hefty dent in my Ford and took the “new” right off Lloyd’s shiny new Honda.

I hope Lloyd was of a forgiving nature!
I never rode on a motor cycle: unless you count my son's mini motorcycle!
I did ride the neighbor's motorbike; and another neighbor's motor scooter though! The next door neighbor made the bike himself with a lawnmower motor and an old bike! The kid was a genius at mechanics at 13! His name was Lloyd also!

We had the exact same wheelbarrow growing up. I mean, this is back in the days when we would watch Little House on the Prairie and run outside wishing we could go blazing down a grassy knoll in it! Ah, such memories!

What happened to “Resident Geezer”?
“Plutonian” is so far away!
