I made me a hobo stick with a handkerchief and put carrots in it and walked down Cherry Tree Lane on a little adventure after reading a storybook about a bunny who ran away from home. Not sure how long I was gone but caused quite a bit of grief for my mother. All without the benefit of explosives. Flammable liquids, let's not get dramatic.

Fun or dangerous?? lol Taking dads cans of Coleman gas and making trash can bombs was fun,,, Or taking my sisters cans of hairspray and making blowtorches out of them.. Throwing snowballs at passing cars ( until we hit a driver who had his window down) I know there’s gonna be quite the list when I stand at the pearly gates.. that list is probably 4 inches thick.

My brother, a couple friends and I went around a lake by our cabin in Central Oregon collecting dozens of garter snakes in a bucket. We took 'em back to the cabin and brought them in the bathroom and unleashed them in the sink, where they'd be "contained" my mom came home and could hear us in the bathroom. She peaked in the window from outside and saw dozens of snakes all over the bathroom counter, floor, escaping out the door to the living room and us doing our best to collect them and put them back in the sink.

We cut the ends off of old coke cans ...then taped about
7-8 together ...making a tube you could see through.
Then we taped on the bottom can that had just the top cut off.
We punched a small hole with a nail ...in the bottom of the bottom can..
Squirted some lighter fluid in it...put our thumb ovah.the hole..
And a twirled it around about 10 times...shoved a tennis ball in the tube...
Stood it straight up...and put a match ,near the hole .. that sounds fun  We did that too...but called them Polish cannons

Cousin once shot a bull in the sack with a bb gun. After seeing what his dad did to that rifle, we didn't mess around with them any more. And we mowed a lot of grass to fix the pen in the barn.

My cousins lived on a farm. We would go to the neighbor's creek and catch Creek Chubs with worms. Then we would go to another part of the creek where there was a deep hole and fish Northern Pike using the chubs for bait. We would sneak Karlsbrau beer from my cousin's dads milk cooler to take with us. We got some really nice fish. Those were the days!
It was the same Stony Brook Babe Winkleman talked about, as they were neighbors.
Being old is when you don't care where your spouse goes, just a long as you don't have to go too.

Float rivers and small streams in the canoe and camp under the stars while enjoying what ever I could scavenge.. Catfish, crayfish, froglegs, ect. And hunting mushrooms and onions in the spring.

It was the same Stony Brook Babe Winkleman talked about, as they were neighbors. Hated going up to the farm. Uncle KT had a long list of don'ts. No climbing trees, stay out of the barn especially the loft, no playing in the creek, stay out of the pasture. It wasn't any fun. Seems there had been a heathen child there once before that was the reason for all the rules. That heathen was my mama, lol, seems she had broken something, got cut, banged up something or just been a holy terror as a youngun.
