Nostalgia ......remembering the fun stuff from when we were kids !

[GKL]

Neat machine, thanks for sharing that !

Helium balloons were really fun as a kid, though I don't remember seeing any machines for them before, perhaps they might not have made those machines till sometime after the 60's though.

I think I could still have fun with a helium balloon now - maybe try tying one of those chemical light sticks that glow for hours to one and let it soar at night though with the weight it might not get much higher than just over the treetops

Several balloons with glowsticks in a frame should equal new UFO sighing's

I'm sure it was after the 60s. I would have seen them in the early 80s. I haven't seen one in the wild in probably decades now.

Might be a good thing I didn't have access to a lot of helium balloons as a kid or I "might" have even thought about something as crazy as in the video below considering some of the goofy stuff I did as a kid

.....on second thought I very likely would not have tried this since I likely would not have had a parachute to use as a safety backup

In our other car without a screen (Kia Soul) we used to use the talking GPS phone app but would have it connected to the radio speaker via bluetooth so we could hear the directions right from the car radio.

Our Prius Prime XLE came with a large screen and GPS voice guidance built in.

Since the Prius Prime gets much better gas mileage (now averaging over 110 MPG overall) we usually use that for any longer trips and also where we might need directions to any place we might need help finding.

Can't use Bluetooth with my truck 1989 had AM/FM and cassette player but i do have a little portable speaker that hooks to the visor that is Bluetooth friendly.

Hey, as long as it works, I think I did my share of workarounds like that in the past too

Hey, it's hard to complain with anything that has gotten you over 200,000 miles and still going !

Yep, sounds like one of those things people try where some of them might think after they started "what did I get myself into now ?"
