Hilarious! Growing up without a cell phone If you are 35, or older, you might think this is hilarious! When I was a kid, adults used to bore me to tears with their tedious diatribes about how hard things were. When they were growing up; what with walking twenty-five miles to school every morning.... Uphill... Barefoot... BOTH ways...yadda, yadda, yadda And I remember promising myself that when I grew up, there was no way in hell I was going to lay a bunch of crap like that on my kids about how hard I had it and how easy they've got it! But now that I'm over the ripe old age of forty, I can't help but look around and notice the youth of today. You've got it so easy! I mean, compared to my childhood, you live in a damn Utopia! And I hate to say it, but you kids today, you don't know how good you've got it! 1) I mean, when I was a kid we didn't have the Internet. If we wanted to know something, we had to go to the damn library and look it up ourselves, in the card catalog!! 2) There was no email!! We had to actually write somebody a letter - with a pen! Then you had to walk all the way across the street and put it in the mailbox, and it would take like a week to get there! Stamps were 10 cents! 3) Child Protective Services didn't care if our parents beat us. As a matter of fact, the parents of all my friends also had permission to kick our ass! Nowhere was safe! 4) There were no MP3's or Napsters or iTunes! If you wanted to steal music, you had to hitchhike to the record store and shoplift it yourself! 5) Or you had to wait around all day to tape it off the radio, and the DJ would usually talk over the beginning and @#*% it all up! There were no CD players! We had tape decks in our car. We'd play our favorite tape and "eject" it when finished, and then the tape would come undone rendering it useless. Cause, hey, that's how we rolled, Baby! Dig? 6) We didn't have fancy crap like Call Waiting! If you were on the phone and somebody else called, they got a busy signal, that's it! 7) There weren't any freakin' cell phones either. If you left the house, you just didn't make a damn call or receive one. You actually had to be out of touch with your "friends". OH MY GOSH !!! Think of the horror... not being in touch with someone 24/7!!! And then there's TEXTING. Yeah, right. Please! You kids have no idea how annoying you are. 8) And we didn't have fancy Caller ID either! When the phone rang, you had no idea who it was! It could be your school, your parents, your boss, your bookie, your drug dealer, the collection agent... you just didn't know!!! You had to pick it up and take your chances, mister! 9) We didn't have any fancy PlayStation or Xbox video games with high-resolution 3-D graphics! We had the Atari 2600! With games like 'Space Invaders' and 'Asteroids'. Your screen guy was a little square! You actually had to use your imagination!!! And there were no multiple levels or screens, it was just one screen.. Forever! And you could never win. The game just kept getting harder and harder and faster and faster until you died! Just like LIFE! 10) You had to use a little book called a TV Guide to find out what was on! You were screwed when it came to channel surfing! You had to get off your ass and walk over to the TV to change the channel!!! NO REMOTES!!! Oh, no, what's the world coming to?!?! 11) There was no Cartoon Network either! You could only get cartoons on Saturday Morning. Do you hear what I'm saying? We had to wait ALL WEEK for cartoons, you spoiled little rat-bastards! 12) And we didn't have microwaves. If we wanted to heat something up, we had to use the stove! Imagine that! 13) And our parents told us to stay outside and play... all day long. Oh, no, no electronics to soothe and comfort. And if you came back inside... you were doing chores! And car seats - oh, please! Mom threw you in the back seat and you hung on. If you were lucky, you got the "safety arm" across the chest at the last moment if she had to stop suddenly, and if your head hit the dashboard, well that was your fault for calling "shot gun" in the first place! See! That's exactly what I'm talking about! You kids today have got it too easy. You're spoiled rotten! You guys wouldn't have lasted five minutes back in 1970 or any time before!

A couple of places worth the ride: Fish & Chips - Minor Fisheries in Port Colborne on West St. right along the Welland Canal, has the BEST fish&chips ... either pickerel or perch fresh caught from Lake Erie. Makes Port Dover look like over priced crap... oh yeah 5 or 6 piece perch dinner $8.50!!! Roast Beef on a Bun: Tally Ho Restaurant on Main St East in Hamilton, smothered in gravy, fine sliced heaven on a bun!! Fancy Shmancy place: Niagara College has a culinary course, the students also run a restaurant that is overseen by chefs. It is called Benchmark, and a $25 plate at a high end place goes for about $17 here. A little cheaper, but fancy food .... ie lamb, steak etc.

Need to get a GPS for our trip over next year. It's going to be mounted on the '84 I purchased with utadventure's help. I don't want anything fancy....no bluetooth, phone, music--just a GPS!! [Will be putting a J&M CB kit on the bike] So what would everyone recommend I get?

I have a couple of fancy chromed plastic first gen OEM horn covers that I don't need anymore since I went to air horns on both bikes. I am offering them 'free to good home' to the general membership? The OEM horns that came in them were junk and are long gone but these were too nice to pitch out. Thought I'd try to find them a new venture to call home. http://i919.photobucket.com/albums/ad39/UxHamby/vehicles/bike3/61d0e64f.jpg Any takers before these hit the land fill ? Cheers, Brian H. -
I'm still thinking about this creek and considering a trailer to haul the scoot.I looked at the ones at Tractor Supply. They have a wire mesh floor,drop down gate,4x8 with a 2000 lb payload for around $600.95% of it's use would be hauling down to the camp only 1 mile down the road.Maybe once a year an occasional trip 500 miles to the beach. What would you buy? Here is my needs. 1. Budget minded nothing fancy 2. Easy to load and unload by your self. 3. Heavy duty enough for a first gen or ATV I would be pulling this with a pickup. My 16ft dual axle trailer is to big for this and would like something smaller.

Noticed this afternoon that our hummingbird's are back in force. Had a pretty one try to sip some of my orange soda pop while I was sitting on my deck. Cleaned and filled all 4 our our feeders and sure enuff there was a scuffle amongst 8 of these little beauties to get their share. Sorry I have no pics....I don't own one of them fancy digital camera's. Boomer......who wonders why ya can't buy a hummingbird at a Pet Store.....
