Answer :

We used to go to new construction sites and have dirt bomb fights and make forts in the rafters. This was fun and games until we got old enough to really be throwing large clumps. My friend Chris, still to this day is minus his right eye…. We used to also make pipe bombs out of chlorine tablets for my friends parents hot tub. We’d toss a few in to a length of pipe with something from under the sink land cap it up. I also used to have bb gun wars with a few friends until someone did not abide by the two pump rule and got one logged pretty good in their leg. After that we started using eye protection. Bike jousting. Went well until I snapped a collar bone and arm. There was also an old construction site that was about a 10 mile bike ride out where two cranes had been left to rust apart in the middle of the woods. We used to climb to the top of those, this is where I smoked my first cigarette, joint and looked at my first porno mag. Thankfully no one ever fell. We used to climb it mostly at night. It was about 150’ up and not much room to sit on the top when you were with someone. It was probably even 50’ to get to the crane box. I think all of my youth prepared me for the military. I now at the age of 36 enjoy most of my aches and pains. Ahhh the comings of age. God bless it.
