Betting on this being another winning post for you Galen so 100% upvoted and resteemed. Reads like you had a productive childhood. Sure beats sitting round playing video games IMO. SK.

Hey @sirknight, thanks again for the UPV and RS. It was a great childhood really. We were outside more than inside and we made our fun, literally. My grandfather had an extensively kitted-out woodworking shed so we had a never-ending supply of materials. We went on "camps" (on our own property) spending all day getting set up and then staying up all night poking the campfire. We'd take off on our bikes on the weekends and come home just in time for dinner...It was pretty cool. No video games in sight. We'd play games inside at night with our parents or read. We had Lego, drew and painted and also played music. (I started playing piano as a 5 year old.) It was a pretty balanced childhood. Oh, we got in trouble too, but generally we were good lads. I'm going to see if I can dig up some old photos for a post some day. Problem is they'll all be printed in black and white. Being 47 has its disadvantages. Thanks again for your kind RS mate, much appreciated.
I was similar - on an acreage too - would be outside playing all day only to come home when Dad would whistle - signalling get your butts home for dinner. Good times.
The best times. Simple. Just the way I like it. I miss those days.
