.....and getting a new pair of Red Ball Jets (we thought they had wings but they really didn't), and sitting in Jr. High English class when the news of JFK came across the intercom, and getting up at 5AM and riding my new Western Auto bike about 6 miles to a small lake on Saturday morning where the friendly boat rental man would leave a boat untied for me (I'd pay him 25 cents when I came in from fishing, most times he never took it), and using Monokote for the first time...complete with multiple patches over the burn spots, and sticking my fingers to the workbench via CA for the first time without anything nearby to aid the release.....and I remember why I don't do that anymore.
