Hells yes! How did I miss this yesterday? Oh well. I got my afternoon at work planned. Do not disturb is now on.

I'll have to pay a visit to this warehouse in my area. The guy was TONS of vintage 70's-80's electronics. Vacuum tubes, osciloscopes, microfilm readers, many TRS-80's, C-64's, Apple II's. And really wild crap, like a huge, 40 year old electron microscope and some kind of equipment that came from the...

No worries Rob. That's I found it on your site. At first I thought I may have been crazy and dreamt the whole episode. But, found it. Downloaded it, sent it to my google drive and played it from there. It all worked out. He was a bit jealous about your Apple II finds. He's been looking for one. Why....

Wow.... so I was searching for this episode on my iTunes feed and it's gone. Man... does iTunes just remove stuff after awhile? The boy is really into thrift stores right now. Thirft stores and YDKF, winning combination for the two of us. Right now, he's obsessed with going back to the stores we vis...

How about RC cars? I never hear anyone mention those and they were huge in the mid-80's. Before we could drive, we spent all our free time buying and racing them. I couldn't skateboard, since I'm so uncoordinated I can't walk a straight line, so that was my big time suck from back then.

Oh yeah... The lake isn't that far. It's amazing how much further things away seemed back then. If I would ride my bike down the old railroad tracks, it went right past my friends house. It was maybe 2 miles. But, it seemed really far. The best thing about having an abandoned railway line, no hills....

Cool! That's the same place you guys drove down in the middle of the night waking the neighbors and the bridge with 'Black and White TV'? Here's our creek: https://www.google.com/maps/@40.2746713,-75.4551929,3a,75y,280.4h,72.81t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s5sGCgU6R7JNr-fIblnu05Q!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1 T...

Re-listened to this episode today. It made me want to see what the creek looks like. I did some Google earthing and found Lake Overholser. Where the heck did all you adventures take place? Put up some pics! We had a creek and old railroad tracks behind our house growing up and had many a misadventur...

After hearing the feedback about cassettes, a few things came back to me. I used to record tv shows on cassette. We did not get a VCR until 83-84, so I had no way to video tape anything. I used to sit in front of the TV and one of those long hand held tape recorders up to the speaker. I remember tap...
