My apologies.

[Gaijin]

1. I haven’t posted on here lately. Miss you all.




2. I went to have my Jeep serviced today.

Service manager : “Ummm is that a 50th anniversary Submariner!!?

Me : ( shocked ) “Yes it is.” “Wow.”

I won’t bore you with quotes but then he asked how I got it. Told him I got it like 9 years ago used in Osaka for ¥ 630,000. He said that’s worth ¥2,000,000 now!

Of course then I looked at his wrist. Then showed me his Omega Snoopy. Sooooo cool! He said he bought it new when it first came out for ¥ 325,000. Of course we both laughed about how you can’t get one now.

So. My apology. I’m driving home and I was like “F%#k!” “I didn’t take pictures!!


So I hope this pic will keep y’all from lighting the torches.

Welcome back Tom.

[m j b]

I can't believe you didn't take pictures! LOL j/k

I think I'd take the snoopy over the 50th, but I know this is the wrong place for that sentiment.

Nice story. Must have been cool to see one in the wild.

A kindred spirit, in the flesh. AND he works at a Jeep dealership.

This could be the start of a beautiful friendship.

Nice to hear from you Tom. Great WIS interaction.

[mmmmp]

Hi Tom: Didn't hear about your bad 'drumstick' but happy to know it's getting better.
What might make you feel REALLY good is posting a shot of you wearing that Special Edition TOG.
Okay, yeah it probably won't help you much but it sure would make me feel great! (Only if convenient)

Warm regards,
Mark
