Hey Burro

[burrocrat]

waterproof?

I'm not sure, and I don't plan to find out.

Normally the goal is to keep my head above water but if I go under it might be useful at some point to know the time, I guess.

If that happens then I bet I got bigger problems than what time is it.

Oh yeah, the tracking number says my new time tool passed through a sort facility in Ft. Lauderdale, FL.

C'mon, I know we have some dedicated and talented USPS employees on here, put a little extra love into the system the next few days would you please?

Take good care of my baby.

Ah..do I detect a bit of Christmas eve anticipation?..I knew you were a closet timepiece admirer

Oh, I don't know about all that, anticipation definately. Admirer, yes, but not necessarily timepieces, more like appreciation of mechanical simplicity, it's like art.

I always remember something a civil engineer surveying professor pointed out when I was in school: "That is an elegant solution", meaning it did the maximum job with the minimum of waste.

What if there was a watch so efficient and clean that it only needed one knob to occasionally adjust time/date, everything else being automatic, with nothing extra you don't need, you just have to wear it and it works? In an aesthetically pleasing package, for only $79.99 and free shipping?

That's like sliced bread or something, gotta get me a piece of that.

So I guess a cherry pitter really trips your trigger then..:laugh:

Well, I just hope that the clerk at the sorting plant didn't "accidently" throw your Priority Pkg. in a Parcel Post bag headed for Hawaii...cuzzz... that's a 4-6
week boat trip over to the Islands. If it gets to the Big Island, I'll mail it back Express Mail. Hope ya tipped your letter carrier at Christmas...... just sayin'

Hope ya tipped your letter carrier at Christmas...

No, but I know my postmistress.

For awhile there it was a problem I kept forgetting my keys to the box, so she posted a sign "absolutely no mail over the counter".

One day I ask her, just to make sure she meant it, how 'bout a little female over the counter then?

Me and her get along great ever since.

As a matter of fact, yes, yes it does.

But it has a lot to do with the cherry.

Yuk, yuk, yuk, yuk.....

No, but I bring her chocolates every now and again at random. It seems to help with the, um, package delivery.

Chocolates work for me, so do the mangos, apple bananas, avocados and pineapples my customers bribe, ah, I mean generously give to me. Keep it
up, you'll get your package.

Who would have thunk I would learn to make a cherry pitter on TSP Talk?

 

[burrocrat]

Woo hoo! I got my new watch today, ordered on Friday am and delivered Monday am. No scratches dents or dings, thank you REL watches and ebay.

Also kudos to our hardworking and effecient USPS folks, zipped it right along, safe and sound, and fast - it can take a while to get things this far out.

If feels a little strange wearing it, I'm surrounded by clocks at work and if I really feel like I need to know the time I could always find my cell phone and turn it on and check. But it's cool, just like the picture showed, there were different hand configurations and colors, but I got exactly what I ordered, it even glows in the dark.

It will take some getting used to though, feels like I've got a handcuff on my wrist, and I don't mean the good kind.

I'm thinking of buying another one just like it in case I lose this one. It's a great simple watch. I suppose I'll just have to get used to the whole manjewelry thing.

So I just got to warn you, I found this whole new series of funny ads, oh man I got to get me a new computer like that, they're sponsors of tomorrow you know.
