Invasive species? Just saw a story on the Bradford Pear on the South Bend news.

I was joking. I really only knew my Grandparents on my Dad's side. For a couple of Depression Era survivors they gave their grandkids good stuff and had it around their house(my house now). Nothing like playing with a barrel of monkeys...
LOL....sort of an old school toy boy I suppose. Scott would be proud!
FWIW, if they existed, I bought my son the same things I had growing up.
He was a big fan of "Twister" when he got into HS!
The one that doesn't have an outboard on it is the throw away. The decking is all rotted(check marine ply-wood prices). So my bud bought a pos pontoon that has an aluminum deck already on it. We got to swap the stuff from the SS Minnow to make a USS Enterprise. I just hope this project is done by the 4th of July.
I must admit...I have seen several animal deaths that were not intentional. Dogs were the worst, especially the coonhounds my family had. But I played with my set well into my late 20's at every kegger I attended.
