Questionable, Ken.

Relaxing weekend or hectic one?

I didn't put my friend at The Vault into the mix yet, either.

His business is located directly outside the Monroeville Mall and he did invite us to see his unseen collection of un-photographable timepieces.

We MIGHT decide to try to fit him in on Friday, if everyone agrees.

Looking forward to next Friday--see you at Casa D' Oro and lunch on Friday then will meet up on Saturday at Henne's again and lunch.

PS. Mike V and I are old time friends. In fact - See the diamond cross with canary diamonds on his website under custom jewelry--I am wearing it. Small world and smaller city!!

Ken, if at all possible, i strongly suggest you try to meet us in monroeville in the a.m. and come to yuriy's. If you haven't already been there, you need to meet him. If you have, then you'll understand when I tell you he's pulling out all of the good stuff, having already experienced one of our locust-like attacks last year.

I called this morning and Lange and Patek reps weren't coming so I didn't bother as I saw all of their inventory last week when I was at Sewickley store. See you next week at Henne's! Enjoy this great weather...

Yeah, I try to "get out of Dodge" by 2pm when I'm on the other side of either, or both, tunnels.

I schedule any work, out that way, for just AFTER rush-hour in the morning.

When I say, "I'll be there just after rush-hour." to my customers, some respond with, "You mean after 5pm?"
