i miss the storms, sort of.

I do miss Palatine. We would ride our street bikes there for all the local meat markets.</end quote></div>

I was a kid...they were very cool...I used toi sneak out of the basement up to the picture window that over look a field across cook county road, that is now a business park. any way the lightning was bitchin until my mom would realize I had snuck out of the basement again. She would freak out every time about lighting coming thru the window and killing me. Luckily I had 3 little bros at the time and could sneak out a few times for every tornado warning.

I was there in 70-73. when were you there Budman?

 

We always had to look at the storms. Amazing what mother nature can stir up.
You were a whole lot smarter than me, MWQ.
i was there from '57 to '00
uh oh, just blew my cover

ha ha, very funny, son.

 

We lived at 380 Rosalie Lane....a neat little neighborhood right on the border of Barrington. Imn pretty sure I went to Joel Wood Elementary school. It was darn old at the time. Is it still around?

 

OMG! do you remember that story where I played the father of my adopted son, Tyler from a foreign country and the wicked stepmother wouldn't let us see each other so we used the ATV forums to communicate? I think it was one of the "diesel" members giving me a hard time. he bought the whole thing and I couldn't tell him the truth.
Boy, we sure had good times here.

School? Remember?
I worked at Cary Metal products in Barrington. We built printing presses. I would travel around the country repairing presses. RR Donnely in Chicago was a big customer.
There was a popular deep dish pizza place by Barrington Lake.
Oh crap, pizza? remember? Dang, I'll have to call my wife. She'll remember.
