...Or a 100' rubber hose; had to let it run until all the hot water from the sun was pushed out.

You learned quick not to drink it right away. lol

In AZ from June- September it's always hot (very hot) water. There's no frost line there so the main water pipes are only buried 18" underground. When it's 110+ for months on end the cold tap water is hot. Not scolding hot but hot enough where you can't get a good cold shower until late September. The water heaters are in the garage and I would turn mine off from April - November and still have super hot water from the hot side!

I remember having to adjust the rabbit ears on the tv. You'd just get it to where you could see through the snow and then the next show was on a different station and you'd have to start all over again. lol We eventually got an OTA antenna attached to the chimney and an electric rotary dial channel changer. That thing was huge and we would mark the channel number on it.

The only time we wore helmets was when we were playing hockey for the town/school leagues. Pond hockey was no pads or helmets except for the goalie.

I think batting helmets came about when I was in junior high for baseball, softball they weren't required, IIRC. You had to supply your own bat and glove sometimes a used hand me down from an older sibling or neighbor kid.- Peewee & T-ball they were supplied by the community sports and rec.
My 1st grader grandson is required to supply his own batting helmet, glove and bat- mandatory new $2-300 aluminum bat every year! For a 7 year-old?! Traveling baseball starts with 7-8 year old second graders. Fun's over.

My boys never had a new bat requirement. They wore sports shoes out like crazy. Twins so it was a new pair for every sport times two. Football, wrestling, baseball an occasionally track. Every day there was a basketball game in the driveway if it was warm enough.

My granddaughter had to get her own bat, but she started during covid an it was a stupid rule. They were sitting on top of each other in the dugout an sharing water bottles!

There was a used sporting goods store I used to hit all the time for traded in golf clubs and baseball bats. I picked up one for under $30 they loved, hit a few homeruns with it an after about a season it finally cracked. They got 30 bucks out of it.

A great white shark can smell blood in water at incredibly low concentrations, meaning they can detect even a single drop of blood diluted in a vast amount of water, allowing them to smell blood from hundreds of meters away due to their highly sensitive sense of smell.

Flies are the same way. Meaning they can find the source of that fart.

The Sony PVM-4300 is the largest cathode-ray tube (CRT) television ever made. It has a 43-inch diagonal display and weighs around 440 lbs. It was released in 1989. Price? $40,000

43 inches is small compared to what you can get with HDTV. That means the kid on the 1984 side must be tiny.

I bought the 40 inch Mitsubishi CRT when it first came out. Over $4k and about 250 pounds. It was a monster. Then I got the first Direct TV box for over $1k by waiting in line all night and had account 00010 with them. I used to be stupid and try to be the first to get new technology at ridiculous prices.

I quit doing that. I had MD, CD-I, VHS-D...just to name a few. What sucks is that it's not worth anything now.

My buddy's kid was always flipping stuff on eBay. He bought a few old VCR's for like ten bucks for 3 of them an they sold for way more than his dad an I thought he could get. I figured he wasted ten bucks. The kid put 30 grand in his savings account before he graduated high school by hitting estate an garage sales an sell the crap on ebay!

It would have been nice if eBay existed back then. I would have at least made my money back. Today, you have "collectors." It's possible you might have that model that's extremely rare today. Someone out there will probably go out of his way to get his hands on it.

Remember the Sony PVM-4300 I mentioned above? Check out this YouTube video below.

A friend of mines son does the same on eBay. When he was just a kid he started out going to garage sales and flipping stuff on eBay as way to earn some extra money. Now he's turned it into a high 6 figure business and has a huge (IIRC) 30K sq ft warehouse with a couple employees.

I remember he would come around the condos we were working on everyday when he finished school (he was only on grade school) and would pull a wagon with a cooler selling Gatorade and waters to all the contractors on the job site. During the summers his mom would take him to the store to buy donuts and pastries and he would come around every morning around break time and sell those too. He was always a worker and a hustler so I'm really happy to see him succeed in this.

Who knew the internet could be used for something so profitable and not just hanging around R5G all day. ?
