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!

I  had the tyco slot cars.  Loved the Farming game.

Just an image of a stick. I joke with my kids that all I had was a stick. But honestly, that is what I spent a large majority of my time playing with. We lived on the edge of the badlands and I had a great stick that looked like a rifle. Fought many wars with that stick.

I think it was the ren and Stimpy cartoon back in the 80s that had a toy commercial for a product called "log" or something like that.

Honestly, one of my favorite things from my youth living in rural Upper Michigan was just listening to my favorite top 40 station on the radio. And cassette tapes. Music in my room, in my car, etc. It was always on....

Same. And still is. 

But who knew that all those mix tapes I made for girls in high school and college would lead to something I get paid for. I now make all the walk in and walk out playlists for all of our conferences.
