Good Morning Watch Fans everywhere !

We've made it through our working week, well, almost

I'm thankful to the Man above for guiding me safely through another week of hell on earth.

Let's kick off Friday's Shenanigans, shall we?

I'll start off with my 1960 T-Bird.

WRUW?

Do you know the year or other story about that watch since @Russ1965 kicked off the Rolex Time Machine 😉

I can share one.

In 1960, my Dad would've been footloose and fancy free !

Friday funnies:

I mowed the lawn today, and after doing so I sat down and had a cold beer.

The day was really quite beautiful, and the drink facilitated some deep thinking.

My wife walked by and asked me what I was doing, and I said 'nothing'.

The reason I said 'nothing' instead of saying 'just thinking' is because she then would have asked 'about what?'

At that point I would have had to explain that men are deep thinkers about various topics, which would lead to other questions.

Finally I pondered an age old question: Is giving birth more painful than getting kicked in the nuts?

Women always maintain that giving birth is way more painful than a guy getting kicked in the nuts, but how could they "know"?

Well, after another beer, and some more heavy deductive thinking, I have come up with an answer to that question.

Getting kicked in the nuts is more painful than having a baby, and even though I obviously couldn't really "know", here is the reason for my conclusion.

A year or so after giving birth, a woman will often say, "It might be nice to have another child."

On the other hand, you never hear a guy say, "You know, I think I would like another kick in the nuts."

I rest my case.

Time for another beer, and then maybe a nap.

Ignore the date, some TGIF laziness on my part.

Have also spotted a new vintage skin diver or 2 I'd like to add to the collection. Sale needs to be made first though...

Uuugggg! I dropped my Glycine today and now the hr hand was not moving when I went to set it....it finally bit and is moving, but now the watch changes the date at 1600 hrs. Off to the watch guy. Darn it. Now that I have the mesh bracelet it's become a favorite. Poop!!! 💩💩💩💩💩.

Might be just a minor readjustment of the hand(s) Keith !

Look forward to an update with crossed fingers.

Wow! Do you think that was from someone throwing a cigarette out the window?

After all the rain and snow we're getting in the western USA we may have a horrible fire season.

Hope all are safe!

That's controlled burning, Bill.
