I was an 80’s kid, Masters of the Universe and WWF action figures were a big deal when we were younglings…as we got older they all got lit on fire, launched on an Estes model rocket or blown up by M-80’s. The good ole’ days. I think Castle Grayskull may still be in mom’s garage.

I remember back on January 1st 2020 when gas was $1.98 a gallon and a box of 50 rounds of 9MM FMJ was $10 a box. It seems like those days are long gone.

I remember those days as well.
I also remember gas back in the 80’s at .99 cents…. And I thought that WAS expensive!

In my high school days, I could go to a Blakley gas station in Yuma and fill up a jerrycan for $1.00, as it was 19.9C per gallon...

Lots of you have probably heard the phrase "Do not fold, spindle, or mutilate."

Seen any spindles in the wild lately?
