Over the past several weeks I’ve found myself thinking about things that I had or wanted as a kid, as a teenager, and even young adult. I started searching the ‘net and eBay to see the availability. Some of these items are toys, some books, etc.
I loved the Sony PSP handheld game system when I was younger. I’ve had one for over 15 years but had lost the power cord and battery. Thanks to eBay I found a new cable and a couple of spare batteries. It still works great and I even added several movies and games. Back in the day, I used to convert DVD’s to digital movie files and put them in a Sony Memory Card to watch on the PSP. Digital used less power and while vacationing I could throw some earbuds in and watch Terminator in the dark.
I grabbed a copy of Urban Operations FM 3-06. I had an old surplus copy as a teen who was new into survival and preparedness.
I also bought a used copy of Life After Doomsday by Bruce Clayton. I considered this the bible of survival & preparedness back in the late 80’s. The author and I corresponded several times and even studied the same martial art.
I’ve searched and searched but have not yet bought an original Daisy 881 pellet gun. The one I had(my father purchased for me) was a metal receiver colored brushed pewter. The modern versions are entirely plastic and just not the same. I spent countless hours back in the early 80’s hunting dinosaurs and evil brigands with the powerful pump-action 881. Original ones in excellent condition are rare – and expensive. Someday.
Wonder if I can find a mint Pontiac Fiero GT somewhere.
Hmmmm…..
