What about telephone party lines? My grandfather was on a party line back in the 1960's in a farm out in the sticks. I remember my grandmother would get aggravated regularly because a neighbor (one of 3 on the same party line) would have the line tied up when she needed to make a call. They finally got a private line in about 1970. Party lines were very prevalent in the rural south all through the 1960's. Some were around up into the late 1970's.
For the youngsters, a party line existed when multiple households shared a single connecting line to the main phone line. You could pick up your phone, and if the other house was making a call, you could hear the entire conversation. There was no real privacy. |

Rear suspension was how much air you had in the rear tire. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/163640/Left-207056.JPG https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/163640/Right-207057.JPG When I got my first auto-transmission pick-up it took a long time to stop trying to push the non-existent clutch pedal. New fangled stuff...

I still have the scar on my chin from falling down while drinking out of the can because of the sharp edge the can opener made.

Tracer discs for a plastic disc shooter. I had one that was Star Trek branded when Star Trek was still on the air in about 1968. Those were a hoot, you could shoot them as fast as you could pull the trigger. Had an integral magazine that would hold a dozen or so.

I bet some of the younger guys have never siphoned gasoline with just a hose. You suck the air out with your mouth and put the hose in a can before gasoline fills your mouth full. LOL.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I had a '42 45-flathead with a jockey shift that I rode for years. Took me along time to get used to a hand clutch after that. Even after I had a hand clutch I'd find myself reaching for that foot clutch pedal that wasn't there. When I got my first auto-transmission pick-up it took a long time to stop trying to push the non-existent clutch pedal. New fangled stuff... My dad got the Panhead when I was five, an AMF Superglide around 81' and a 2007 Heritage Springer when they came out. He always said the same thing about preferring the Panhead and the way it shifted. |
