Things you miss

[kenhuntin]

Just trying this topic to create a little participation in something other than the fish challenge. Please post something that you wish was still around, be it an obsolete product,a slogan, a person,a moral,music,an establishment,etc.
 Please list only one thing per post.
   To start this off I really miss the wing window on autos. It was a great feature to let in a little air or direct it to blow a bee off the windshield. It also dried off the front of your pants in a dang hurry if you spilled on your crotch. Why would they get rid rid of such a great tool?

Being young and full of energy.

    I miss being able to tie 2lb. test in the wind without cheeter glasses.

I miss the serenity that came with the small town gas stations closed on sundays.

I miss paying $2.00 to rent an old leaky wooden boat when we would go fishing.  We would bring worms we dug in the garden, a couple cane poles and have a great time.

I miss my black lab Lady... We were both young and we could both hunt all day. At the end of the day we would pull into McDonalds and I would buy a couple of cheeseburgers. She would get the top of the buns and I would put the rest together to make a double cheeseburger for me. Don't tell the wife, but Lady was always "My best Girl"

not having to worry about responsibilities

I miss the stress free life of youth.

[The General]

I miss parents taking responsibility for their kids and bending them over their knee every now and then.

[Misky]

I miss riding my bike a few miles to ball practice everyday rain or shine through out the summer then off on some adventure till dark...I wish I could let my kids experience that.

    Telling my son's what they need to know.  Now they tell me and I don't understand. 

[MTCOMMER]

When I would bike around all day with my buddies, scrounging up change for some pop and candy at the gas station, deciding what games we were going to play next, or what park to go to, or which girls we thought were cute (even though we had no chance)! 

[FireRanger]

I miss being able drive a half hour and know that I am alone and nobody will bother me...the serenity and peace of the Canadian wilderness.

i keep missin the lottery!

[deadeye]

I miss riding my bike to school, parking it with all the others and knowing it will be there when school was out.

[Outdoors Junkie]

I miss how long the summers use to feel as a kid.  They fly right on by as a busy parent.

[MTCOMMER]

When 3 or 4 beers got me     

[Fawkinnae]

There are a lot of great "Things I miss" reminders on here. Great list.

I really miss by son Collin who lives in Colorado now. It was like having your best friend living with you and your wife.

I miss being able to turn the brights on or off by stepping on the floor button with your foot and not fumbling around the steering column signaling a turn or turning on the wipers or cruise control.
 I enjoy seeing all the things you guys put up that are now bygones. And special thanks to Bonehead for now I am craving a stick of that Bubs daddy that was forgotten about.

Playing "Kick the Can" on a nice summer evening with my friends.
