My First Watch

[tabdog]

Hay Folks,

those who know me, know I kid around a lot and
I sure can spread tha bull.

But I posted this on another thread, and it is a
true story.

At around 10 years old, I traded a big coke bottle
for a Timex watch without a band. Out of ignorance,
I over would the watch and broke tha main spring.

After that,

When I wound it, it would tick six times and stop.

I was bumed out. That was my first watch. I was
with my best buddy at tha carnival at Fair Park. I
chunked my first watch into tha bushes and went
on.

I'm 60 years old now. I forgot all about tha watch.
The carnival is a parking lot now.

I was at Fair Park one day, and I was metal detecting
where they had cut down some old bushes. I found an
old watch. I wiped it off and tried to wind it.



When I wound it, it would tick six times and stop.

Happy Huntin,

Tabdog

Hay Marty,

I like dog stuff.

I am trying to change my
demeanor a little.

I think I'm a little over
powering sometimes.

I'm really just a 60 year old puppyTab.

Happy Huntin,

Hey tab, I found a silver Indian head ring I lost as a kid, 40 years later. It made the hair on the back of my neck stand up! It still is one of my favorite finds. Bill In Texas
