Incoming!! Well at least I hope!

I'm picking up a SS SubC tomorrow from a local seller. I'm meeting him after work and hopefully coming home with a little brother for my TT SubC. I have been wanting an all SS sub for sometime now for more casual wear. My fingers are crossed and will post pics as soon as I have the watch and nice cold Shiner Bock tomorrow night.

Thanks everyone but go ahead and change my title to nocoming. After talking with the seller today turns out he does not want to sell his watch. His buy it now price was only 6k for a LNIB Sub C so it was a dissapointment. I came home with my tail between my legs today after work. Even more bad news wifey drank the last Shiner in the fridge.

Oh well, not to worry. All part of the thrill of the chase. I'm sure many more opportunities will arise. Now go restock that fridge!

PS I have to admit I'm not really sure what a Shiner is though!

It's a beer called Shiner Bock brewed locally in Shiner Texas. Best American beer IMHO around. If you ever make it up here to Texas I will buy the first round.

And I will buy the second if you tell me where the hell Point Blank is. I've been all over this and never heard of it.

Out Midland way here......(apology accepted) Shiner Fan here too, they are making a lot of great beers. Their Oktoberfest is the kick I've been on lately.

Point Blank Texas is in San Jacinto County. The city is about 2 square miles with half of it being on the waterline of Lake Livingston. I would say 1/10 of the city is the parking lot at my favorite biker bar to drink a shiner bock called Pork Chops. If you get too hammered they even have a cabin you can rent there to sleep it off before you get back on your bike. If you end up in the jail don't worry because Judge Faulkner is the nicest guy beside The Lord who will ever judge you. He will first shake your hand then ask how can we solve this problem you have made for yourself. You will not find that kind of courtroom etiquette anywhere else in the world.
