Rose and I married....

We're headed off to the Ozarks tomorrow for a short vacay - taking the boys, heaven help us - we may even go for a cruise on the lake. We'll also go see if we can find her former lake house.....

What happened to you 25 years ago today?

25 years ago this past September I was in Mexico with my bride celebrating our 5th anniversary climbing the Pyramid of Chichen Itsu. We also got kicked out of Senior Frogs for public nudity.   ;D

On our 30th we climber the Grand Piton in St. Lucia, I guess you can say we like to climb things.

Congrats Dave!! In 5 years you will be caught up with me.   ;D

Stepdad bought me my first truck. 82 s10 longbed.  To allow me to get my first job. Braums. To pay for my own insurance, gas and maintenance. The year life got real.

Congrats to you two. 

Bad joke warning. "What happened when Napoleon went to Mount Olive?" .......Popeye got pissed!

25 years ago?  About to turn 32, experiencing another dull day in the life of providing tech support for a company that did credit-card-at-the-pump systems.  Caller (in heavy accent): "Pump #5 not working, you fix!" -- click --

My excitement back then was learning about Minis while trying to save for my first one.

I had just retired from the USAF and was awaiting the container full of Minis (8) that I shipped from England when I retired.  Got held up in Customs, extra scrutiny, yada, yada, and finally got them released.  Fun times!  Lesson learned from 2 container shipments...avoid container shipments unless you do it on a regular basis.  The first container of 8 Minis got held up because I used mattresses around the Minis for padding and they were concerned that they may contain bed bugs.  That, and I didn't put the mattresses on my inventory.  I explained that they weren't being imported for use, but were used as packing materials.  Still got a stern warning and got to pay to fumigate the container.  Second shipment of 8 was held up due to suspected violations.  Who'd a thunk that?  Also, got impounded for dirt on the cars.  After a very thorough inspection and a thousand dollar steam cleaning of the cars and container, they stamped my paperwork and went on their way.  After those encounters of the close kind, I always did RORO after that.
