You know it's been hot when you harvest the popcorn from the garden only to find some trying to pop in the husk.

I always like when you post that watch. I have a soft spot for Glycine and I really like story behind yours.

Incredible watch! I'm intrigued with the pic in the background....history of it?

That’s my uncle Pete during WWII. He flew Dauntless dive bombers and that particular picture was taken just before he left for a raid on Rabaul.

Later he flew helicopters in Korea.

In another thread I mentioned he bought a Rolex and gave it to my grandfather as a gift. The watch I subsequently ruined when I had it redialed. Same guy.

Pete was a really neat guy and I even though he’s been gone a long time I keep this picture of him in my office to remind me, not just of him, but what sacrifices life requires sometimes.

Here’s the only other wartime picture I have of him. I need to get this one framed.
