Waky tabakee
No, but heard about a guy who could roll them with one hand. Also, back in the 70s they had these machines, kind of the size of a card shuffling machine as I recall, and you stuck the tobacco, filters and paper in and cranked out cigarettes. Presumably to save some money.Didn't you get yer tabakee in a little pouch with some papers and roll your own?
Right - or if you let a butane lighter get real cold in the winter and you have to turn it way up to get it to work and then forget about it until you are all inside and warm. You hit that thing and it flames up like a Saturn V Rocket.No, but heard about a guy who could roll them with one hand.

Funny story lighting cigarette with butane lighter. It was a windy day and I could not keep the flame going with my hand cupped so I turned it up as high as it would go and it shot a flame up my nostril, burning all the nose hairs. Ugh, that is a bad smell!

It seems like just yesterday...
I was buying USA 200 year collectors can 7-Up and pulling the tabs

I thought I would never grow old
I made my first crystal radio with a pin and an actual chunk of Galina (forming a diode) my father gave me and listened to wibc AM
It seemed like I would never get my drivers license
I could fix any consumer product by taking it apart and figuring out what needed replaced
I never thought I'd get out of the restaurant business and have a professional career without any college/degree
I couldn't wait until I was 21
I never thought I'd meet the right girl and marry
I thought would never have my dream car(s)
My wife would still be alive
I never thought I would need guns
I was much happier
Sorry about the wife. I couldn't imagine that chair empty. When I do I get wimpery. You never know how much you need someone till there gone.It seems like just yesterday...

With the window open!If you could not roll one by hand, driving a stick shift Chevy while balancing an open quart of beer between your legs, you just were not cool.
A little know fact is that the venerated Ford 5.0 V8 actually is a 4.9 V8 if you round off as it falls a little short of 4.95. Say, here is a fun way to revive a 4.9 inline six:
Ford- 300 I6- 270 hp/ 338 ft lbs of torque with standard hot rod techniques.
But....522 hp/ 597 ft lbs of tq on 13.2 psi of turbo boost....but it looks like it will run at a more realistic 400 hp longer term.
Learned recently that a childhood buddy's dad passed away a while back.
When we were kids, his dad somehow always made the time to take our gang out hunting. Frog hunting with the guy left us with some great memories of some great times.
I spent some time reflecting this evening on how much that guy was doing for us knuckleheads.
Pro tip: If you get the chance to teach a kid that wants to learn about the outdoors, take it. The impact you can have may be bigger and longer lasting than either of you know at the time.
Wonderful lessons. Wonderful memories.
Thank you, Collie.

Got to catch up with some good folks today.
I had one of those metal Tonka dump trucks. Was ridding it down a relatives steep paved drive way for kicks. I and my step sister were maybe 8-10 years old. She insisted I stopped...I did not.
