I used to love building palstic model ships and planes and blowing them up!

I used to love building palstic model ships and planes and blowing them up!

The good old days. My folks used to let me play with toy guns, I ran the neighborhood with the boys and played cops and robbers, cowboys and indians. Roller derby with metal skates. Kids these days are pansies. Well, except for mine, and the neighbors keep calling the cops on them.

Toward the end of my tonka truck phase, i was heavily into model rockets, and had a morotcycle (so gas was always around). One afternoon, I decided to combine my hobbies and strapped a d size rocket engine to the tonka concrete mixer which was filled with gas. went about 100' into a power pole. what a fire ball!!

BTW, i had a tonka loader the i wore out the scoop on when i was 5. My dad saved it for a long time.

I haven't grown up much, still work in construction, and as we speak, I haver a caterpillar d4 dozer in my side yard.

Glad I was born with the external plumbing option, becuase a flaming barbie doesnt seem like it would go very far with a d sized rocket engine on it, and wouldn't hold much gas.
