My favorite memory was hiding under a large pile of leaves while my brother set the dog loose to find me. He would run right to the pile and dig me out.
All I want for Christmas is a Red Rider BB gun with a compass in the stock. (However, a Fortec Mercury II receiver, 90cm Dish, Digipower SG2100 Motor, and Sadoun ULN1 Universal LNBF wouldn't be bad either!)
