- Same as everyone else...hop on the bike and disappear from the first day of summer until the last.
- My grandparents farm. My cousins and I would disappear much like the kids in the movie "Stand by Me". Great summer days.
- Raiding gardens late at night.
- Hockey in the winter. Sun up until sundown. We'd have to use the big 2 man shovels to scrape the snow off the ice before we could play. Saskatoon snow storms dumped a ton of snow on the ice.
- Building snow forts in the drift that would build up to the eaves of our house. Amazed they never caved in and smothered half the neighborhood kids.
- Candy at the corner store was THREE for a penny! We'd buy the little licorice babies that were called "n!gger babies"
 or jaw breakers of every kind.
- Albums. I had an amazing collection. Loved reading the jackets when I bought them and the great artwork. 45s before that.
- Watching the old black and white tv my dad got....thought it was amazing until color came out.
- The amazing cabinet stereo my parents bought LOL. 26"TV in the middle with a radio on one side and a multi racked album player on the other.
- 8 tracks. LOL. My collection took up the back seat, Had to slip a matchbook under the tape so it would play properly and not drag.
- The Muscle Cars. Amazed I lived through those days.

I think those days are back. I look outside at my car and my business partner's car and between us we're sitting on 790 horsepower in our two cars.
