    For a fishing web sight can’t believe nobody said fishing with Virgil Ward. Could wait to see how those baits worked in the fish tank. Hee Haw and good ol Lawrence Welk staying overnight at Gram’s. Could go on and on that it’s in my head but I have a fish fry for the guys to prepare.

    Is Pug even old enough to remember anything beyond bag phones?

    Lawrence Welk was a Krout. He grew up in ND in a German speaking community.

    That damn Atari 2600 was the beginning of the downfall! Luckily we couldn’t afford one when I was a whippersnapper.



    I remember getting a used one. I never really got into it though. I had a bike. I use to wear my tires out. Not by skidding but actually riding the thing.

    Dad would watch Lawrence Welk and if we were lucky he would let us watch Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom…Dukes of Hazard….. or the Six Million Dollar man.

    Looking to the sky in wonder where that spaceship is that was going to the moon.

    Hitting the corner store for a comic book and yes for those Topps baseball cards for the ride home from Grandmas. I don’t have the comics but I have the cards.

    How about those pennant flags those gas stations handed out Topps were there also.

    My recalculation it was Philips 66 in my area.

    Going to the grocery store and marking the can how much it cost with a crayon like pen.

    How bout the local bottle shop that you returned empties for full bottles of pop.

    Putting a penny on the train track that no longer is there.

    When my Dad and I went icefishing with two poles,2 steal buckets,a spud to cut the holes with ans a old kitchen spoon to scoop the ice out with. When the ice was thick we each had a hole to fish in. If I wanted a nother one Dad told me to chop it my self. And you know,we caught fish.

    Do you remember when:

    Lake Pepin had a “town” of ice shacks at every creek below Lake City?

    Spuds the were commonly used tool to open the ice to fish and a strikemaster hand auger was state-of-the-art? A power auger was an old starter motor welded to a hand auger and jumper cables got the power from the car to the motor.

    Willow sticks were iced in at an angle to hold a hand-line with a loop in it that was hung on the tip of the stick….when a fish hit it pulled the stick down until the line loop popped off? You’d know you were fishy when the stick stood up higher than it should have with the line on it. Surveyor’s cord was commonly used as the primary line.

    A depth finder was anything that would sink tied to a string, OR the oldest person in the group?
