Remember the Good Ole days?

I remember the good old days when western movies used ricochets (a few too many) plus other numerous gun sound effects instead of being lazy or incompetent with blanks or live ammo.
I remember the Lone Ranger and Tonto riding by the same hill/rock formation every episode. Then the same rocks show up in other westerns.
I always liked the 27 shot 6 shooters.
Wow,, flashbacks.. I remember the Ford adds and the Saturday Night Live (when it was funny) imitations "the ride on this new Ford is so smooth we will circumcise this baby in the back seat"... CBs, Flaming chickens on Firebirds, Carburetors long hair and bad gas mileage. With no internet or cell phones, CBs ruled. As I have gotten back into CBs its the lack of the Cell phone simplicity that appeals to me. Studying antennas, location, older used Radio restoration and possibly Amps... All very fun. CB radios feel alive to me with meters moving and constant adjustments of gain and squelch... I need more kit.
You all remember when The A-Team could talk across a state with a 2 foot loaded CB antenna. If I remember correctly BA's van had a General Electric CB in it. "Red Ball One, the bag is leaking."
The good ol days... when the men were men and the were nervous lol
They no longer teach US History, so they can change it. This is the most influential quote I have ever come across concerning firearms ownership in the United States.
Japanese Admiral Yamamoto is claimed by some to have said, "You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass."

That's basically the definition of the Good ole days. I like CB for the same reasons plus you know it's reliable when you do a proper installation without cutting corners!
CB ruled back than... and it still does
I have all the episodes of The A-Team on vhs tapes and the Dukes of Hazard on dvd's. CB ruled all the best shows!

I’ll admit to an embarrassingly strong affection for some truck driver / CB popular songs.
