    Can you please provide a link to said premier Omega forum? ;)

    Sadly I can't post a Speedy Pro, all I currently have is a reduced. I hope to rectify that soon.

    And while we are at it today how about this little bit of July 20th coincidence.

    Michael Collins flies on Gemini 10 making his second EVA exactly 3 years earlier to the day....July 20th, 1966, wearing a Speedmaster as well.

    Feel free to punch out and head home. While there use your time wisely and familiarize yourself with all upcoming significant events in manned spaceflight history. There will be a test.

    @TLIGuy ... there's a TEST ?!?!? :eek:

    But, but, but ... this tired old former rotorhead doesn't do well on tests! Also, my wife has the Moonwatch Only book ... and I can't have it until Christmas ... and I can't find it! I respectfully request to be exempt from the test!

    ... a TEST ?!?!? :eek:

    Let me see if I have this right? There is a copy of MWO in your house somewhere and your dicking around on the computer? I suggest sending her out for a pedicure and then turn that house upside down and inside out until you find it.

    I think I may have posted this before but today merits posting it again.

    Sit down and take just a few minutes to watch what is probably the best combined video and audio of the moon landing. I suggest you watch Armstrong's heart rate as the landing gets closer. He's one cool dude.
