    Cool Kingston #168 has a new home!

    Found one! Bought it! Rest is history...

    Now I just have to wait patiently for another 3 months until I can see it. Until then, I'll have to teach my dad how to take pictures and post them.

    Just one more thing to look forward to besides my wife, good food, my own room and bourbon!

    Blue skies, y'all!

    Re: Kingston #168 has a new home!

    Thanks for the well wishes, you guys.

    And it never fails, as soon as you buy a watch you've been waiting on, you see another one posted on the sales forum for a bit better price! :)

    The first half has flown by, so I reckon the second half will go just as quickly.

    Blue skies,

    Thanks everyone, I can't wait to get home for all the aforementioned reasons, but I have to say, WUS certainly helps while away what little free time I have!
