Atari's 2600 hooked me on gaming, and I spent my youth in every #arcade I could find. Much love for 80s pop culture, video games, books, music, and movies. Avid fan of VHS, vinyl, Tank Girl comics, and AFX slot racing. #eatTheRich

Each year I dedicate a tree to the CN show, Uncle Grampa. It's from an era when television didn't totally suck

I've had to shovel my driveway twice in the last 2 days. Not sure that's happened in the last 15 years. And I live in a snowy sort of area

A recent search of my email returned this old 2017 coupon from Toy R US, buried in the depths of my inbox. It brought back a lot of memories
On a separate topic, I need to clean out my inbox!

#Santa arrives by #helicopter at a local strip mall each year. I've never been, so I decided to hit it up today.
I guess the weather wasn't conducive so he arrived via firetruck. Disappointed. Maybe next year, lol

Spent 40 seconds buying a Christmas tree today.
Linus was right- any tree will look great covered in lights and ornaments

It must be #Christmas time. The overpriced faux Nintendo console kiosk has appeared at the #mall.
Every year I tell them you can buy these things online for $20

Record Store Day was pretty cool this year. Really wanted that Led Zeppelin 45 of Trampled Underfoot, Billy Idol 77, and Van Halen Live

Single guy Thanksgiving dinner.
Thankful to have four days to do anything I want from video games and movies to jamming on guitar and AFX slot racing.
My inner child is stoked!

The #TinyVinyl releases are kinda fun and miniaturized to cuteness, but the 4 records I have all sound like crap. Very hollow and low output.
I hoped they'd be better quality. You can't release Black Sabbath's Paranoid and not have it rock hard!
Thus ending my Tiny #Vinyl collecting, lol

Two of the new Tiny Vinyl records arrived. At about 4.5 inches, they're half the size of a standard 45RPM record.
Not sure if this "collectible" format will catch on, but I'm stoked to crank up some mini Paranoid!

With season 5 looming, I've been re-watching the first 4 seasons of #StrangerThings. Such a good show! It captures the adventure and insanity of childhood in the 80s.
For every parent who buys their kid a bicycle instead of a smartphone, I salute you. Tech has ruined kids. Who cares about likes!

Beer and Ace Frehley's solo album. '78 was a good year. I'm still crushed that he's gone. RIP Ace

I decided to put a 12 foot #Christmas tree in my yard. I had no idea how long it takes to fluff up a tree that tall, nor how many lights it would actually need. In over my head, lol
Glad I had a tall step ladder!
