I'm NOT gonna be a jag-off and show just a picture of a box for all to guess what is inside.
But if I were to (be a jag-off

), Mark Theken would probably guess correctly!

Mark has been working feverishly to find a certain watch for me, but his deal fell through
when the AD reneged on the deal they both had agreed to do.

(Thank you for your efforts, Mark! )

"My" salesman worked a 20% (!) discount off of a TT Bluesy, but Mrs. Loxmyth SUGGESTED
that I think a tad more conservatively since we're yet paying on two sons' college tuitions.

Orr's is a place we visited for the Pittsburgh GTG and "my" salesman initially offered ONLY 10% off of this one, for myriad reasons.
(I asked 'em to give me 20% off of this one, today, but they scoffed, smirked and generally called me names behind my back.

)

Since it IS the last one on their shelves, and there ain't gonna be no mo'e, I took advantage of their generous 10% discount.

Anywho, all but Mark, can you guess what this jag-off bought?

Here, I'll give you a hint...

It's a Rolex!

OK, here it is...

Kissin' cousins...

Get 'em while they're hot!

Thanks, all.

It was a tough choice.

I had her (my wife) convinced I was picking up the TT Bluesy and just yesterday she asked where IT was.
(Not wishing to disappoint her, I almost ran out to get one!

)

Like I say, I'm slowly getting her broken in.
