Hey old farts...you seen Dashtoons?

[W1GUH]

Dashtoons.com

If you were a novice and adolescent in the early 60's you have GOT to read his two books, lid, kid, space cadet and Sky Buddies.

He has captured the very essence of what that was like in his words and pix, right down to the core.

Besides that, there's lots of stuff on his web site to have fun with and enjoy.

AND...

That Remco "Radio Station" in my current avatar was my most farvorite toy (after American Flyer Trains, of course) as a kid. Who else had one?

That's from Jeff's Clip Art.

Which Old Fart calls us O.F's??? ;)

The two books sound interesting, but damned if I can figure out how to actually order them.

I'll see your 6SJ7 and raise you a 6L6GT, 117N7GT, and a couple of cold 807's.

However, I don't have any ebook readers, so I guess I'm just going to have to order the one print one and see how it goes...

...and no wise cracks about Route 22. It's very comforting to know that it's only a few miles from the house, and if I ever needed it to, it would take me back home. Of course, that segment of the highway is actually Route 22-30, and anyone from the land of Route One - Nine understands...

[Jeff K1NSS]

Almost everything I needed to know I learned from Route 22. Two Guys, Best and Company, Bowcraft, the Windmill Driving Range, Opdykes, Painting's Fun with Cook and Dunn. I learned that when we passed the Planter's store, Mister Peanut was not actually waving at me personally, more to mankind in the immediate vicinity, like the Pope or the Queen.

I'll see all those valves and raise you a Compactron, a Nuvistor and a Gammatron.

Which leads to a story of the hamfest where I ran into W1GUH. I was talking to a ham about my age who mentioned growing up in Skaneateles, New York. How about that, I said, one of the characters in my second book grew up in Skeaneatles and was the first kid in town to run push-pull Gammatrons.

The OM replied, quite matter-of-factly, I ran Gammatrons, but never push-pull.

Semi-synchronicity man, we're up to our ankles in it.

OK, somebody has to put an end to this........

First off, you never admit that you know/have met/owed money to/or had relations with W1GUH. :rofl:

Second, the Peanut was waving to you and you alone. If otherwise thought, go back and kick that Peanuts ass.

Third, WELCOME to the ISLAND

Hey, two new Jeffs in less than 24 hours! Welcome to the Island, Jeff, I think you'll find the natives friendly, if a little eccentric. Barkeep, bring this gentleman the drink of his choice and put it on my tab.
