yeah, I think the photo shop was going on last I was here, haha

No daughter, when I said that is how far along she is. I meant wife is only 9 weeks pregnant.

Oh, sorry.

But hey, if it's not a daughter, I'll bet Jocke could photoshop one for you.




But seriously, Congrats on your soon to be healthy child.

I have the IWC Ingenieur 3227-01 and the IWC limited Aquatimer, JC edition. I sold my Seadweller and my Platty to DavidSW. I bought a house. Needed the cash for furniture. They dont tell you how much it is to furnish a 5000 sq foot home when you buy it.

But now I have fully recovered and am eyeing a Rolex. Not sure which one, But I am eyeing

I also have been daliy wearing a maratac pilots watch. non branded dial over in Kandahar. Tough and rugged. It is awesome.

Well, for 50-60% of people the next step is divorce!

Congrats on the newborn!
