Plan B is where my wife and sister-in-law are. Her dad has been in the same house for 49 years now. And he's a pack rat. They have 49 years of crap to dig through before they get to the 49 years of stuff.
Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

I lived in another part of the country at that time, but moved back home when my mother became frail, and now it’s the turn of her younger sister. She might not be able to continue living in her home.
There wasn’t time to talk about watches…
The like is for the watch story, not for our aunt needing an ambulance ride. Hope she gets well soon.

I’ve found the Watchuseek thread about the travelling watch -
https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/g...stop-1.286975/
Now that I’m prompted, I remember that I posted the original travelling watch to someone in Scandinavia (I think) - and he kept it and vanished.
I restarted things with a G-8000 and David was the first recipient. He remembered the event, and me, from twelve years ago.
