You wouldn't by any chance be a drag racer would you? That is a very popular saying in the Top Sportsman and heads-up classes. 馃憤
Nope...just a fan from WAY back. Remember "Hemi Under Glass"? Snake and Mongoose? Swamp Rat? The Hawaiian? Of course u do!!! We saw 'em all at Pittsburgh International Dragway!
We never ran at that track but did run often at big shows in Penna at Maple Grove in Redding. 馃憤
Edit: "run what ya brung, and hope ya brung enuff" was the saying in entirety 馃榿
While delving into my stash today, searching for a Gruen movement to cannibalize, I dug into a box of orphan watches that I had forgotten about, for at least the past 35 years, and lo and behold, what do I uncover? The latest addition to my collection. The movement is a 23-jewel Gruen, calibre 629SS, Automatic wind, and is in nice shape. The case is 14-karat gold shell over stainless steel. So today, I stripped it and conditioned it, fitted a period correct bracelet to it, and put it on. I鈥檓 running out of places to store my burgeoning collection of watches. What a nice problem to have. The best part of this is that tomorrow (the 10th) is my birthday. 馃榾
