Thumbs up

Aurora !! yeah that was it....

we had this train tunnel over the track and we'd let the cat chase the car into it and stop.... cat would look in other end...and we'd back up.... cat would switch to front and we'd speed ahead....

freekin cat would go so mental that it was tons of fun...
as much as fishing for cats with a catnip mouse and then some...

my brother figured out how to cheat those cars...

first he'd take a razor blade and slice little slots into the
tires for more traction like tire tread....

then he'd sand the pancake gear i think... to make them lighter... special oil for wheel axels and the whole bit...

got to be a real down in the pits competition for awhile

my Dad had everything outlined... in white on pegboards
and everything had it's place....

when you were a bad boy... your sentence was to organize the shop until it sparkled like a treasure room

I had a stick, too, Prof. Huge upgrade from the rock. My folks spared no expense.
Now the funniest thing in my minds eye is Bigfish wearing out 2 Big Wheels. Just cracked me up. All I could imagine was a huge, grown man on one of those. Maybe it's just me.....

i'd love to have the "Hobie Adventure Island" as a go out and sail & fish - fun craft.... as i miss those days.

But it's a huge investment ! not to mention the length
is 16 feet...long... i like the retractable pontoons the best... it would be great to have netting across them
and be able to slide a big ole Bass up there....
