spin_dry Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 I'm adding 600 watts of solar to the second apocalypse rig on Tuesday. Other than coming up for air, water, peyote, and food.....that'll keep two people in the bush indefinitely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly back in the day it was a very small pill. I mean real small if you dropped it you were screwed.. pretty sure it was a form of LSD not peyote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleepybrew Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 i tell younger guys all the time. they don't know what they missed in the 70s/80s . first thing is no fucking cell phone. random nights and times that will leave forever memories. crazy , beyond belief times. every night was a roll of the dice. people mingled more, not locked inside as much. meeting women was easy , because they were out like you were. we drove crazy and intoxicated , usually no issues if you kept it on the road. burning rubber, donuts, racing , all part of the game , most cars we had were rear wheel drive. i had a baja bug that i had built an engine for, and had it fixed up sweet. fast for a beetle , and able to go anywhere. when the trucks were going up to the point, i made it too by riding on the high spots. truck guys were amazed. and girls absolutely loved it. half wanted nothing to do with it after a couple of second gear power slides, but the other half... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different world back then ..... drove around in my 68 Camaro... ... drank and drove all the time ...threw the empty beers when I was done in the backseat never even thought about it. Way before Madd was even thought of. Yup... lots more people out, chics included and not home playing video games. We used to actually go to the Arcade and put quarters in the machines.

I'd hate to be a kid growing up nowadays we had a big arcade.big hangout, play games, bullshit, and you could buy most anything there. plus meet chicks. i saw a blonde playing pool one night, i was like damn. low and behold we end up meeting up at a party in the woods. man she was hot and we had some good times together. and then meet her friends. remember that? chicks brought other chicks.

sleepybrew Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 i actually had a female wingman. hot as hell, she was a friend's ex, and we had been friends and stayed friends. but i would never touch her because of him. it was tough, we were together a lot. only one night she touched me in that manner and we both were like nah. but we went to parties together. if either were hooking up, see ya tomorrow. she wasn't an easy piece so she would wingman for me. you know how it is when you come in with a hot girl? yup, except i was up for grabs. she would introduce me, tell me about ones she knew, and we would make eye contact through the night. she had guys hitting on her all the time but handled it with ease . funny, my friend became a drug addict and so did she. they went off in to the sunset together.

Way too much urban sprawl now so doing country benders is out of the question. Old areas where we once rode dirt bikes, atv's or 4x4 trucks have all been shutdown due to some taking things too far. Lawsuits have pretty much killed these areas and a lot of fun with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s still good here but we don’t have the population, which I like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping, based on the fun I had that my son would also be able to enjoy these areas. Now, due to these places being shutdown, trail passes for dirt bikes and atv's is a requirement and 4x4 are strictly forbidden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XCR1250 Posted April 12, 2022 Author Share Posted April 12, 2022 One of the Main reasons we moved into the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest, 1000's of miles of trails for Sleds, SXS's ATV's, this County alone has over 600 miles of trails which interconnect to 1000's more.

sleepybrew Posted April 12, 2022 Share Posted April 12, 2022 we used to have lots of riding but as was said, pinched off by issues. no more driving around here doing anything in your car. i mean plenty still do , but you are asking for big trouble drinking and driving or any other form of being intoxicated. way too risky. in the days we did it there were no cops. very few. now it's bad. i went to home depot sunday, saw 6 nysp. that's more than we saw in a month back then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
