Dang Walt, you guys were really high class.
We used shucked corn cobs down here.


That's right, Cecil, the Sears Roebuck catalog came later. We first had brown
cobs and then a white cob to see if we needed another brown cob.

the grill.



And a Crank behind the steering wheel.

I don't remember,
cutting wood for winter, foraging the woods for berries,
turning the crank on a model T, building a spear to kill a deer,
washing my clothes in the river, making candles to light the night.
And I do appreciate that I don't have to do these things anymore.

I have helped cut wood for winter heating. I have also foraged for
berries, actually Granny knew where to look and took me along to help pick
berries. I have never hand cranked a model T, but have watched others do
it (was tied up with winter wood cutting, the "T" drove a belt with a rear
axle wheel to drive a large circular saw) I never did any of the other
things listed, but if Granny were still here, I'd bet she has and could
describe the process. Except the spear hunting, that was before Grannys
time and on the other side of the family.

Hi Harold,
My point is, times change, peoples change, and if you want to cut wood,
pick berries, crank a model T, or spear hunt,
Have at it, but your not out telling everybody they need to.

Right, and why homebrew anymore when you can call HRO or AES and buy your
appliance off the shelf.

You can't even get behind the steering wheel. The state took your
drivers license away 3 years ago after you hit that Monte Carlo while
you were drunk on cheap liquor. That was when your wife left you also.
I remember it all. I know who you are!
