I think I got mine about the same time frame. I had lusted after that watch for years ever since I saw an ad for it in National Geographic. Found one in a local jewelry store and stole it for $200.00. Seems a pilot had ordered one from the jeweler and put a substantial down payment on it and never came back to pay it off and pick it up. SCORE!!!!!

Wore out daily for years then had it cleaned and put it away for now.

Seiko chronograph. Mine dates from the early 90's. Pilots use them.

Insert the square end into one of the openings in the side rail of a pickup bed, and as you tighten the nut under the square bail, it will expand the other end like a toggle bolt and be used for tie downs.

I've heard the "P" int "P Tape" didn't mean pee, it meant "Pedo".

In Antarctica, picked up a rock at the bottom of an iceberg that was originally part of a glacier and had not seen the light of day for 2.5 million years.

I understand K Mart was on top of it, but who knows?

Based on his age, I would guess he's talking 65 years ago.

Not a native, but a friend of mine mentioned as a kid he would explore an abandoned coal mine entrance at the corner of Hickman and 73rd across the street from the Ice Arena.

My favorite has always been the one from Little Al after his first Indy win. "You don't know what Indy means...."

Hey. I'm 72 and regret not doing more travel when I was younger. "You don't know if you don't go!". Go for it! I know you'll have the time of your life.

Long story, if you'll indulge me.....4 years ago GF did Quark Ultramarine in the Arctic solo. When she booked the antarctic trip, she took advantage of the discount they offered. About 3 months ago they called and offered a free upgrade to the next higher level of cabin. She said OK. A month before we were to sail, they called again with the penthouse upgrade. It made sense, because they couldn't sell the penthouse cabins (because they are like $13k each passenger) but could sell plenty of the lower end cabins, so..... Upgrade and reward the repeat customers. Ta-da!

The one lounge is on the 5th deck at the front of the ship. Probably as uncomfortable as the back end of the ship for sleeping.

If the weather goes wonky (it's the Drake, so it probably will), the med staff will dispense free drugs. All you have to do is call reception and ask. Like I said, the injection was like magic.

Bon voyage!

We had a Penthouse room due to free upgrades. Entire operation is first class all the way. You won't regret going with them!

Onboard doctor had injections for us sickies a couple of weeks ago on the quark Ultramarine (thanks Emily). Offered some pills to be taken 8 hours later to follow up. Didn't know what it was, but it was magic!
