Jarts were everywhere, was a fun game... I know of no one who knows of anybody getting hurt by them, the numbers must have been low. The start of pussification? I'm sure more people have been hurt by horseshoes..... Edited March 12, 2020 by T&C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when someone with a poor throw landed the shoe on edge, and you got what we called the ‘wagon wheel’. That generally scattered those waiting at the other end.

row_33 Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 lawn darts..... My team had a few hours to kill till the next tournament game so we went to the beach and set up the darts a man in an expensive car drove onto the beach very fast and just missed one of my friends, and parked his car on the beach near our lawn darts game when we pointed out all the signs saying no autos permitted in the beach he gave us the double bird and said some very unkind things So a minute later a friend unfortunately overshot his lawn dart by ten feet and it stuck right in the drivers door, most unfortunately, and we decided it was high time to go back to the tournament venue 1 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 My folks used to tote me and the siblings around in one of these, purchased in WNY, with no AC. When we moved to PA, the lack of AC was a REAL issue in the summertime. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that no matter how well you store them its simply the age that causes them to degrade. I sold all of my factory tapes years ago. The ones I recorded myself got ruined during hurricane Elana so I have none... but I still have the deck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I can't play any of my old recordings it is still hard to part with it. I think the last time I tried was about 10 years ago. It is amazing how heavy a box with 30-40 tapes is. I forgot how heavy they were. Gee, metal coated, who would have thought.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albums are heavy too... dreaded moving back when, had over 10,000. Around 1k now though, sold most of that too. You can still buy blank reel tape and just record whatever you like. Sometimes the factory cases are worth more than the tape itself from the old ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Beard Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Mid 1960s Honda CB160. My friend’s dad had one when I was 13 in 1970. He used to let us ride it on some dirt roads near our house. I thought I was pretty hot stuff. Pretty tame in retrospect, but at least I learned how to shift gears on a motorcycle. One of those skills that stays with you forever. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
