What were YOU doing 25 years ago?

Slow_Hand
1982

I was married to my first wife, expecting daughter #2, managing a sales district in NYC and providing technical support for a very large OE automotive parts manufacturer.

What were YOU doing back then???

    February 1982. Seems like a lifetime ago.

    I had been working for the Greenville PD only a few months. I was living in an apartment.

    I was still married to, but separated from, my first ex-wife. I was driving a 1977 Datsun pickup. My old dog Nick was still with me, as was my old cat Smith.

    Just beginning my second year of posting on Gunbroker. Also visiting Great Britian and Crete.

    Did Gun Broker exist 25 years ago? Did the internet exist 25 years ago? Did Al Gore exist 25 years ago?

    Man you folks sure know how to make a guy feel old.

    I was loading UPS trucks and was usually done by 8:30 in the morning and still had the whole day to myself and a pocket full of cash.

    The next year, I was driving my UPS truck up and down the streets of Detroit and Hamtramck saying "Hi!" to all the cuties that worked in the stores.

    I wanna go baaaack.....

    at 3:45 I'd say that scooby, and the smurfs were over, and it's probably time for He-Man.

    I was 2.5
