Ya gotta flesh that one out. It DOES sound like a heluva good show. ;)


Such an imagination you got there.
No potatohouse. It got it`s name from a sermon preached at the First Baptist Church in this small town ,  totaly about the place........mine and a couple other Two wheel enthusiats residence. :)
The whole sermon was based on the house being a palace of sin, thus the name.
The gentlemen who had the streets blocked and the house surrounded were not cops as I said. The cops showed up later and ruined the fun. The guy in question.....I suppose.would be in the category of chicken excretement. :)
We knew about the planned visit and were well prepared for a little fun in Happytown. :D

Lots of good stuff then.

Lots of good stuff now.

My buddy, Tootie (no, I don't know why), died of leukemia in the sixties.  He might have had a better chance in this century.

Three grounders or a fly:  The batter would toss up ball and hit it down the street to the entire neighborhood.  You got to bat when you fielded 3 grounders or a fly.

HONK!

That was my fave as well.  Had it in that dark garnet metallic red.  

Diecast metal, WORKING landing gear, and you could take the engine cover off exposing the engines so you could work on them.  Doesn't get any better than that!

Now THOSE were toys!

That was special :)


72, other side of the fence. We had about 30min of animated cartoons daily, 3-4 TV channels showing crap like "Lenin's University for the Millions". And "Alarm Clock" at 09:30 every Saturday morning for kids. And we studied 6 days a week at school. And we studied at school for 10 years, not 11 or 12. I had a guy in my group in the Uni who was 15 years old. I went to the MSTU at the age 16.

The world has changed rapidly the last 20 years i guess.


Sinclair brought from abroad by my friend's Father when I was 12, games in black and white - Sinclair had a PAL TV output, and Coviet TVs were SECAM.

Then - DEC PDP clones when I was 13 (DVK-1), then - IBM/360 clones, I still have a diploma of a certified ES-EVM (IBM/360-370) operatorthat I got at school at professional education day...

Cold war etc.

good old time :)


I still remember MiG-21s flying over me... And 21s flying over Krasnodar making barrel rolls over the city at low alt... Nothing else gave such a sence of security as this guys flying beautiful small delta-wing planes over out heads...

Now people report a terrorist attack to militia when they hear a sonic boom :(

Crawling over huge wreck of fort Ino at the Finnish Gulf coast, the fort was blown up in 1918... I thought it was all natural stones, tunnels and other stuff... Titanic construction... I was 5 years old. I remember a Marine training with hover-crafts landing marines on our shore, as a training against a fortified coast, a seargeant with an automat over his back asking me and my friends to stop crying, falling behind his unit....

1981, my Cousin living with us, and my Mother literally kicked us out to the street because we spent all our time reading BOOKS!!!...

Catching tadpoles and tritons in a brook under our windows in Leningrad suburb, keeping them in 3L jars at home.

Watching a water-rat with her son on her back swimming in the same brook. We had a 4x binocular!

Going hiking when we were 10 or 11 years old. I was 11 when I first spent a night at the mountain hotel at 4200m above the sea level on the side of mt. Elbrus...

1980, Western Ukraine, plaing war games throwing green walnuts at each other, and my friend's brother coming searching for me, picking me up to ride at the back seat of his bysicle bringing me home, because my parents were crazy searching for me...

1982, Moscow, playing jumping over tin garage roofs, running away from their owners...

Staying at school until 18:00 with our favourite teacher, Physics, playing checkers and solving tasks he prepared for us, drinking tea... Later he dedicated a Physics school-book he wrote to us...

Caught at the Red Square by a Militia guard because he thought it's inappropriate to ride our bikes there...

Two times a week going to a rifleing training, holding a 2kg load on a stretched hand to qualify for a .22LR Margolin pistol shooting. 1986.

Going across the river to ride our sleigh in the winter, going up to 60km/h I think, coming home with my winter coat torn...

Damn. That was a LIFE.

 MEMORIES
~by Elmer Ake~

Are memories the only thing ever meant to last
Can we never forget the long distant past?
Even as the passage oftime dims our eye's
We sit and remember about how time fly's
Yes we can remember a love done's cry's
And in our hearts we know why.
Can we ever forget the drive-in's silver screen
Nights under the stars in an old machine.
A girl we loved sitting by our side
We would hunch down in the seat and try to hide
When the manager walked by outside
Trying to hush up kids that cried.
We watched John Wayne in a western reel
While a little kiss we tried to steal.
Just when you thought your girl give in
And now you know your going to win.
And the people in the next car are watching with a grin.
Then the lights come on for intermission
The refreshment stand is really packed with folks
Filling up with candy popcorn and cokes.
Then the lights go out and people settle down
To watch James Cagney dance like a clown
The kids are quiet they don't make a sound
You don't even know their is any around.
With your arm around your girl a kiss you steal
And maybe even try to get a little feel.
Then the lights come on and horns start to blow
You hang up the speaker it's time to go.
You have just relived a drive-in show
And memories of times people now will never know.
