Don't knock it, Craigster. At least he admits it. Up until this past year he probably never would have thought he was gonna like the 'burgh.

It would take an unforseen incident for me not to make it. It's known about far enough in advance, I can get my time off from work. I've been debating if I'm gonna take the whole week, or just a couple days off. That's my only hang up at the moment.

Oh and, Raf, did you get the heel spur removed?

That really does look painful.

I'll try to make it to at least the Monroeville hijinx. I just joined today, I'm pretty sure this is my first post.

I bought two Swiss watches this year, but haven't sprung for a Rolex yet. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for a Submariner or SeaDweller, preferably black face, maybe even one of those PVD aftermarket coated jobs.

Whew, that is sharp, thanks for link. It may be a little on the high side of the price range for my next watch purchase.

I will be there this year--finally!

I'll meet you all at Casa D'Oro and have lunch and head to Orr's.
Then on Saturday meet up at Henne's and hang for the day and do dinner. Will bring my wife as well.
Looking forward to it!!
