The Original O'l Farts Club.

Meine Vater recounted much the same experience. Grew up in the most industrialized city in Deutschland, which received the most significant attention for destruction. He was routinely sent out to pilfer chicken eggs, which the family depended upon to avoid starvation. He told me that he truly disliked this, but his dad and uncle sent him out regardless because he was a kid and if caught would get a wrist slap as opposed to a full on adult. Apparently he never did get caught. He was very fortunate to see the warning signs somehow and told me that when he started to see the precursor of the formal Brownshirt's begin doing patrolling it was time to bail. He landed on Ellis island, like many, with only a suitcase, and likely some coins of some sort to ensure that he would not starve. And, you are right. Generations younger than boomers do not have these first hand stories from their parents to grasp just how very lucky we really are.

My father was a boxer and another story he told me how he got to be one,he said nobody he knew had money so the kids ,he said was 11 when he went to the streets,would have fist fights to entertain the older people who would bet and would give them a bit of money ,food and a pep talk for their black eyes. The more fights you won the better you ate. You became a man fast.

The thing I notice visiting Germany on business, was that much of it was flattened during WWII and has been rebuilt in modern style, but the town of Lubek was not and was stunning.

The medieval walls are gone, but the main gate and the moat is still there, as all the original buildings and I highly recommend it as a must see when visiting.

We went to my mothers home town and they had a hugs church with gold trim on just about everything and gold goblets and nobody in the church and people didn't steal anything it was open at all hours, We also went to a few castles.

I’m hoarding egg cartons in my garage you could use. Just got asked about how many I plan to collect yesterday…those are beautiful

That's very nice of you but they are not my eggs. Just trying to make light of the current egg situation.

Speaking of gold and gold trim, visiting the French cathedrals put the French Revolution into perspective for me, revealing the vast disparity between the elite and the common folks.

I have no choice until I bring in the 1st harvest. Hoping to get by with just one more trip.

I'll be interested to see how the super silver haze compares. I had a SSH cut from an old timer at CW, A1A Driver. It was keeper for years until I shut down.

I don't think A1A was around anymore when you found CW, and his cut was only held by a few so it's not well known.

when I landed at CW , Artful Dodger was one of the first people to greet me …RIP Arty

the SSH at the Rez dispensary was $240 a zip

we bought the biscotti and ghost train haze

both are pretty good herbs

but yeah , there’s nothing like partaking of one’s own herbs..

back from the gym...today was lighter weights and more reps...back was barking so the plans were changed...I've got an excellent trainer/friend...he sees me walk in and adjusts my workout to do no harm but still pushes me a bit further that I would push myself...we get bye with a little help from our friends...

There is a little girl in my neighborhood that we see on our walk sometimes about 4-5 years old small enough still to fit in one of those Barbie 4WD pink battery trucks. Her dad managed to supersize the battery To where that thing will fly I’ll bet 25 mph. She rides along with her mom as she runs her morning route speeding ahead to the next block to wait for her or double backing with a spin turning around. Looks dangerous as hell but the little girl knows how to drive that rig even tho it’s amazing to watch.

I had a 12v power wheels. Upped it to 18v and my boy just runs it too hard. It’s time to move to gas powered stuff.

@Gray Wolf its a four cycle engine. Basically a lawn mower engine but horizontal shaft vs vertical shaft configuration.
