I was and am still into Lego.  "Bricks in Space" facebook group (rebuilding the space race in 1:110 scale) got me back into them.  It a dangerous rabbit hole though.  It can get quite expensive. 

Past that, I enjoyed growing and selling sweetcorn and fishing and I'm doing all that stuff.  I guess I never really grew up. 

I do miss snowmobiling from my later teenage years.  TN doesn't really have to many days that work for it.

get a jetski... its about the same except you dont get stuck.

Theres something about jumping 10-20 ft drifts on the line fences and that fresh powder after a big snow. But yes we’re very close to a massive lake.

When I was 12 I decided I was going to save my allowance and buy every single Elton John album. Started with Honky Chateau, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road was 2nd. By the time I was 14 I had them all. Man I miss the days of album art and liner notes. Not long after, I discovered punk and new wave and let Elton go. It wasn't until recently that I began to appreciate again just what a genius he was in those days. 

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road was the second album I ever purchased. Can't remember if it was lawn mowing money or snow shoveling. Then I discovered Led Zeppelin, the Stones, and the Who. 

 

Here was my first lp ever...

AFX slot cars

Hell yeah!  Been a Vike Fan for over 50 years and a longtime lurker here, yet this post is the one that brought me out of my shell. 
I was into HO and then Auroa AFX cars big time as a kid. I was in heaven the year I got the Daytona high banked turns for Christmas! Thanks for jogging my memories of those good times!

Well glad we found a topic to pull you out of the shadows!! Welcome

I still remember the xmas I got one of these...Not as cool as the HO and Aurora stuff. I loved it so much I found one on Ebay as an adult and have it to this very day. 

I'm a nerd and actually have quite the 60's/70's toy collection.
