Space missions to the moon, Vietnam, and being scared to get sent there, senior prom, working on cars, Commercial Diving School then never using it, Joining the army and getting orders for Vietnam, getting our butts kicked out of Siagon and not having to go after all!, working LOTS of helicopters as a controller, being a lifeguard at a beachfront resort and water skiing every day!!

Learning to work in the oilfield as a roughneck (gets in your blood), and finally getting a job as an 18 wheeler driver!! Then got to buy my own!!!! Simpler days....they were fun!!!

OH.....and gas was always less than 50 cents a gallon!!!

And good old American Muscle Cars!!!!

There's LOTS more, but don't want to bore everyone too much!!!

I saw that movie when it came out. That's when I was a lifeguard and was waterskiing every evening. We were at Canyon Lake in Texas. (Fresh water, man made lake now) I finished my turn on the skis and had let go of the rope and was treading water while the boat and others went to retrieve the other ski. There I am...all alone...and I start hearing this music from Jaws!!! Things that run around in your head, huh!!! I couldn't wait to get back in the boat!!! laugh laugh laugh laugh
