Still have several of those cans of oil sitting in the back of the work shop! Still have a few of those can spouts too. Remember beer cans with pulltabs? Falstaf was a fave back then!

You might be from another era when:
Many times, when you went to your Grandpa's house (which meant his acres and acres of orchards, greenhouses, surrounded by the Anza-Borrego Desert, where he was born nearby on his parents homestead) and from the moment your feet hit the dirt, you and your cousins ran for the motorbikes, everyone trying to get to the new Honda 50 first (dibs!) and then gathering your bb guns, and took off for separate corners of the orchards to begin the day long 'battle' (until you couldn't see, or grandma got called dinner). We had a one-pump rule for shooting each other with bb's, but sometimes to peg your cousin in the rump at 75 yards from your hiding place, and extra pump or two made the difference Obviously there wasn't paint ball or air soft (I'm still not sure what air soft is about exactly).

Banned from the house! If it wasnt poring rain, you were not to be in the house! T.V. was 3 channels and you watched only evenings,and saterday mornings! Home by dinner time, Did home work and chores, Hee Haw, the Larence welk show, and in bed by 8:30. The doors were never locked and the neighborhood kids were always welcome. Once a month we kids would get to go to the Sandy Bar wrestling matches and cheer for who ever was then our hero! Had my first dirt bike when I was 8, A two year old 1970 Honda Monkey 50 (mini trail 50) and would "earn" gas money mowing the neighbors lawn. Traded the Monkey for a trail 70 when I was in my teens!

Billy White Wolf, Dutch Savage. I golf with Dutch's kid all the time.

Sometimes the ring has notches, break it off the tab and use the tab in the notch to launch the ring.

I remember making big long chains with pull tabs. As a young kid my mother collected, here it is, S&H green stamps! How about, "Put a tiger in your tank"?

Went to a Beach Boys Concert at the Memorial Coliseum and had to show your draft card to buy cigarettes.

I've grown used to seeing a kid on the sidewalk waving a sign in front of Jiffy Lube... "Open Bay Next Car $5 Off."

A block beyond that... "Get Your Marijuana Here," ...not so much.
