🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️😄😄😄
True story no bull schit I got kicked out of middle school me and a still friend was talking about reloading bullets and I brought samples I’d done in my bib overhaul pocket 🙄forgot to zip it up in gym class dodge ball they spilled out 🫣I was escorted to moms car that day by the resource officer

I had a pump shotgun and a 30-30 on my gun rack in my High School’s parking lot. And plenty of ammo too.
There were no Resource Officers in our School System at that time. I know your only a couple of years younger than me. Guess things were quite different in Maine, than in TX back then.
???? confused

I made a colonial. 45 BP pistol in high school wood shop.
Used to disassemble and reassemble guns to refinish stocks in wood shop for friends and certain teachers that were cool.
Everyone had long guns in the gunracks in the parking lot during hunting season.
Fired the pistol the day after I got it finished about 8 or 9 times during wood shop class with the shop teacher and asst principle.
We used to get up to 2 weeks off to deer hunt as long as parents wrote a note and we students did the work ahead of time.
The teachers hated that schit cause they had to do their part ahead of time also.

It was easier just to skip school for a 4 day weekend and just know what ya had to do grade wise after to make up the diff.
Went to Old Town high school 77- 81

Hunting vaca - cooool

No potato harvest break In that county though?

I loved hearing stories about that from my pals at UMO. Bus picks you up like your heading to school, but drops you off at the tater farm. lol. Kinda sounded like work-release from county pen. Hahahaha
Kids up in aroostock county got like a 3 week school break for potatoe harvest back then.

I raked blueberries out at the daylands up on the sunkhaze headwaters
Smoke herb all day long
Party at night.
Make some decent pocket money
Probably people all Washington county right now raking berries for the next 2 weeks.

I love that. These guys bought their first guns or whatever, with the pocket money they made. I liked getting paid to work, from a young age. A principle sadly missing many places, especially MA, where I hailed from, but had a good sort of parenting involving work ethic.

Anyways, I know you hate your Maine Days. But this is one of the reasons I love that damned state. I camped the state park on Rangely in may. The trolling was awesome.
