    About to go to 20,000 LIKES?!?

    Never would have dreamed when I joined this forum in order to simply ask a question (about a beautiful 1954 Constellation) that 2 years and 3 months later I would have 20,000 likes from the members here...:thumbsup::D

    Especially considering I didn't even OWN a vintage watch (except for a little Caravelle my parents gave me 48 years ago, only recently re-discovered), and only a smattering of mostly Chinese-made 'micro-brands' :eek:.

    At this point, I owe a big 'THANKS' to all of the enablers who helped me along the way.... :rolleyes:...:D

    ..... THANKS!!! .....

    Didn't I already do that? I know it was a bit 'Trumpian' (short speech), how about a 'Tweet'?

    I'm just not much for diatribes (Obama)...

    So much has happened, I could mention some highlights...

    Like the time @meganfox17 gave me my 20,000th Like...

    Before that, though some minor stuff... like the lowpoint, when Kirill sold me the paperclip watch when I was still in my honeymoon phase...:eek:... glad he's gone now..:thumbsup:

    It was a high-point when I realized that discovering 'Kyle-patina' @kyle L is the same or better than discovering Gold...

    Congratulations Dr @dougiedude ! It's also a Great day etched in History. You actually hit the 20 K 'likes' while the famous family brass band of young musicians - Pelican 212 was rocking the stage in one of Donald Trump's Official Presidential Inaugural Balls at the Walter E. Washington Convention Centre [emoji14]

    I owe you much thanks, sweet Megan, you've made this forum a much more colorful, lively, and lovely place to visit since your arrival.

    I also love live music, including most all genres, so I will go to my 'boob-tube' to see if the Pelican 212 are still on!

    I forgot what a grande party the inauguration can be... to show my appreciation, I will take you to the next one! ...

    ...Or, maybe another cool, live concert in another city somewhere....:)
