When I was a kid I'd mow lawns and stuff to get a little spending bread. I'd take those pieces of paper that people gave me and go to the bank or even the grocery store and trade em for silver dollars. There wern't that many but you could hardly keep your pants up. Made a guy feel like a real man too, slapping them down and buying a round of root bear floats for his friends. The fronts had Lady Liberty on the Morgans and the other was called a Peace Dollar, to commemorate the end of war. If you flipped them over they said " IN GOD WE TRUST" Actually the Peace Dollar said " IN GOD WE TRVST" Never have figured that one out, but times were a lot different and people wern't made to feel wierd about their beliefs. In this mechanical world, the old guys who knew their stuff would be glad to share their knowledge with you if you showed some interest. As life went on I always looked for those guys to teach me the easy or right way to fix things and build stuff. Some of you guys aren't quite that old but it's good to see you sharing your knowledge with each other. Just rambling. Cabin fever I suppose.
