Pop had an orange igloo water cooler on the side of his truck mounted to the toolbox. Every morning it got a fresh batch of ice and a 6 pack of miller light except for Saturdays when it got a 12.

He would come home from work, grab the 410 or fishing pole and go in the woods to kill or catch something for dinner.
Sometimes we’d have gar balls sometimes we’d have wood duck or rabbit. He did this probably three days a week.
When I got to about 7th grade that became my job.

They came out with these in the 80's around the time they started passing open container and drinking and driving laws. I remember someone demonstrating this "amazing" product on WBRZ's morning show when I was a kid.

This’ll turn into a “my dad was a super soldier ninja sniper but he never liked to talk about it” thread

Pops was an alcoholic, a Vietnam vet and an old school redneck.
We had a mouse problem. From his living room chair, he spotted one of the fickers sitting on the lip of an open kitchen drawer. He drew quick, but the mouse was quick, too. Pops was smarter and aimed his little pistol an inch or two down and got him with a shot through the drawer face.
The bullet hole remained until we moved as a reminder not to cross the man.
He was raised rough, if you could call that raising. He jumped from planes and helicopters in the jungle while the enemy shot at him. He left the military for the Easy life of working on oil rigs. But he survived that to eventually raise 6 kids, find sobriety, and find Jesus. I miss him so.

Dad was arrested in Rapides parish for someone speeding down a road and covering his truck in red mud.
Had the "boy" by the collar an threatened to whip his arse if he didn't clean it up.

My Dad worked as a RoughNeck. When working too far from home they'd stay in a trailer for 7 days. it was called a "Suitcase" job.
While working one of the guys (Victim) on his crew was a real a-hole. Always nagging my dad for some shite. The guy just wouldn't stop. Nobody liked Victim. Boss man tells Victim to leave my Dad alone. And that he doesn't know what he is dealing with. Boss man warns victim 3 separate times. Like I said earlier, the guy just wouldn't stop. Finally, my Dad had enough. He grabs Victim and slams him against the wall, with Victim's feet hanging about a foot off the ground. Dad slams him again. Then a 3rd time. Except this he puts Victim thru the wall into the next room. lol Dad then stood over Victim and shook him like a rag doll. Boss man pulls Dad off Victim and the confrontation is over. During the middle of the night, Victim leaves and quits his job. He hitch hikes home. lol
Years later I'm talking to a guy in a bar. an older guy. He finds out who my dad was and tells me this story. I knew he was telling the truth because he described the distinctive characteristics my dad displays when he is really pissed. At the time this all happened Victim and this bar guy were in their early 20s. My Dad was in his early 50s. Bar guy said everybody freaked out except Boss man. Bar guy said he almost quit too cause he never saw a man handle another human like that and he was now scared shitless too. lol
Said my Dad never spoke a word during the whole thing. Said Dad could have literally killed Victim with his bare hands. lol
I've heard this story about 100 times over the years. lol

A lot of these dad doing baw shite posts involve alcoholism.

My dad was a truck driver. Nothing is more baw than that.

My dad is a big hunter and fisherman. He also likes to build shite. One summer he decided to build a big ole gazebo in our backyard. He worked on it on the weekends we didn’t go fishing. He drew up his own plans and built it from scratch. I was his day laborer at 8 yrs old.
When it was done he and some of his neighbor drinking buddies decided to have a party to christen it. Dad got hammered and started shooting fireworks. He stuck a bottle rocket in one of his buddies belt loops and lit it. They all laughed their asses off as the rocket flew off at the wives. Dude went home with a black hole in the side of his pants. Pretty fun night.

His dad passed away when he was ten. So he found a job at a printing company to pay the monthly rent. Consequently he always found me a summer job...every single summer. A job like on a dynamite crew at 15. Tough old bird but wish he was still here.
His idea of us kids staying out late (no set time) was the later I stayed out the earlier we all got up Saturday morning. Two in the morning would be sun rise.....but he never said a word about it.

Dads in the 80’s had it made. I can remember a neighbor pulling up in his brand new 1985 Corvette. 5 year old me was amazed. I can remember my dad cranking up his ‘hi fi’ stereo system on Saturday’s while pounding beers and grilling ribs on the grill. Same neighbor had a black Chow Chow dog. That thing was meaner than hell if the owner wasn’t around. Dad later told me “oh btw Barry that had the Corvette did a bunch of coke in those days”

When my brother and I were in little league baseball, my dad had a magnetic wrap that said Caka-Cola and looked like a Coke label. He'd bring a little cooler of Miller Lites to the games and toss a few back in the stands using the fake label on the beer cans.
My dad did the same thing. I only remember because one of the labels said Mountain Pew.

Because they actually had lawyers in the 80’s also.

My parents had a 69 427 corvette with side pipes as their only car when I was born in 72. I rode everywhere on my mom's lap lol. Eventually they realized that wasn't safe so they traded it for a ford hippie van with no A/C.
They suffered with that a few years until the Smokie and the Bandit craze hit. They got a a t- top thunder chicken Trans Am. Prolly had 200 hp but I used to giggle when Dad would push the pedal a bit.
Their TA wasn't the classic black with tan interior and gold chicken and wheels. It was black with red interior with silver chicken and silver wheels. I've never seen another one in that combo.
