Grin.....I thought I'd jog a memory or two. Main park bench was at a Gulf station which had a white gas pump with the glass reservoir on top. White gas was 20-25 cents when pump gas was a dime more. We mowed lawns for $3 and that was a lot about 50 x100 with the house and sometimes a garage and driveway. No trimming. Flower beds were extra.
One guy in group had a 2 stroker and that was back when the mix was 16-24:1....somewhere in that range and the oil was non-detergent (most popular then) 30 wt motor oil. You could tell where that guy was mowing for blocks away and the governor wasn't adjusted properly as it'd run up and down the rpm spectrum.
If it wasn't mowing season we'd go around and pickup glass pop bottles and cash them in for 2 cents I think at the grocery store. Then spend all the money on a quart of Hire's Root Beer, a chicken, and a box of matches and to to the woods and cook a chicken over a camp fire with forked sticks to hold up the skewer.....just like the cowboys in the westerns. Great times.
