HA I was in a mall with my girls when they were quite small when we came to a vendor selling popcorn flavoring . Of course the girls did a bee line to her " she had samples " . She asked me what flavor I liked and I told her I didn't like popcorn . She immediately said , there are lots of flavors you must like one to which I again told her " I don't like popcorn . I really wish that I had a camera because the absolutely baffled look on her face was priceless .

When I was a kid I think the Jiffy Pop stuff was a pretty new invention, and was something we had fairly frequently. As a kid it was fun to watch the big foil bubble rise like a king's crown. Today, popcorn happens most often at baseball games with the overpriced bag of kettle corn. We sit there watching baseball, eating the whole big $7 bag, then suffer the next day with a gut ache and wonder why.

I remember Jiffy Pop
Thats what all the OTHER kids got. My mom was a bit....er....um.....frugal, yea, thats is....frugal. We had the el cheapo pop your own in an Iron skillet popcorn. Sometimes she's let us melt a small pat of butter to try and pour over it. Waht a wasted effort that was. You got about 6 or 7 kernals with butter on and the rest just dry old popcorn.
The few times we got to go the movies she'd pop up a big batch, dump it in a paper grocery sack and send us in. I had to eat that dry old bland stuff while all my buddies got the good stuff.

WAIT Charlie is talking about popcorn makers? The guy i feel has all the right answers and knowledge about everyting in the 47 and older and the 48-56 forums. Isnt this the same guy that recreated a woody wagon and has done countless builds. We know you are moving and thats alot on your mind but we need you thinking about trucks.

Now that's funny! While the wife and I are still holed up in the old house...all my tools are in a PODS unit in a warehouse in Nashville. I have just barely enough tools here to finish the odds and ends around here to get the house ready to list. And as if on cue the garbage disposer takes a dump! Today is our 34th wedding anniversary, staying true to the mandate to "stay at home" I printed up an anniversary card for the bride on the PC...she thought that it was the best one that she has ever gotten. Trucks do cross my mind but I find myself thinking more about all those who are caught up in this pandemic without a job or income. Simple pleasures seem far more meaningful these days, even if it's just a bowl of warm popcorn. Be well and stay safe!
