Gas station attendants cleaning your windshield and asking to check under your hood.

I buy gas at a station where the jockey washes my windshield and checks my oil.

Drive-up bank teller (when ya had to put deposit slips in the tube and they got vaccumed up to the teller).

Gas station attendants cleaning your windshield and asking to check under your hood.

drive up bank tellers are still around with those vacuum tubes. And those gas station attendants? New Jersey is the only state I've seen where you see them at almost every gas station.

Yes. I did. A couple of pages ago.

And the fact that you didn't see it really hurts my feelings.

Body-temperature thermometers made of glass with real mercury in them.

It was fun to "accidentally" break them and play with the mercury.

Wooden thread spools ... and all the great little toys dads and grandfathers gave to us kids.
Somewhere in a box of junk, I've got an army tank my dad made when I was about 4 years old. You wind up the string and the tank rolls forward and the pencil used as the gun barrel is notched to shoot rubber bands.

And yo-yos.

Major Matt Mason "action figures" with the moon walker.
Really fun toys in a box of Cheerios (or other cereal) Remember those rubber-band windup snow mobiles, or the aircraft carrier that really launched airplanes?

Penny candy.

When I first started jumping the cost of the load was divided between the jumpers on the load. One jump or a thousand, it was divided equally.

No one mentioned getting water from a well or going to the bathroom in an outhouse, so I assume you're all city folk. I'd love to stay and chat, but I need to go replace the points and condensor in my car's ignition.

[lawrocket 3]

Yeah! A carburetor!

While you are at it, Be sure to take your feeler guage and adjust the valves. You do still have adjustable rocker arms dont you?
