    Spending a couple hours scouring through the bins of the record store.

    The joy of having to wait out a flooded carburator. (Bonus; having a bunch of your classmates in high-school help to push start your car after you forgot to turn off your lights.)

    Being asked (or yelled at) to get off the phone because your parents were expecting a call from someone. (Bonus; Busy signals)

    Paper Routes. Not these car routes that they have today, but honest to goodness ride-your-bike-at-5am-in-whatever-weather-is-happening-right-now paper routes.

    Depending on where you're from, flood irrigation for your yard/property. This was a huge deal in the summer time for us. That meant playtime.

    I'm sure that I'm missing several.
