I've arrived in Minneapolis--Where you all at?

Just kidding.

My wife and I did arrive late last night. It felt great getting off the plane to 62 degree temperatures and low humidity after leaving the Gulf Coast of Alabama in 95 degree heat with 90% humidity. That alone made the trip worth the money. The next 2 days will be spent watching her tour the Mall of America. That's my atonement for her patience as I spend money on watches and Get-to-Gethers.

LOL. Can't wait to see those of you attending on Friday night and Saturday. I will try to post lots of pictures from my room for those not able to be here.

Just remember, this was always a trip to the Mall of America......there just happens to be this watch thing.......... __________________ Corvettes & Watches

Look for a jeweler called "Wixons", trust me... WAY worth it. The watch selection is a gallery of "WOW" under one roof.

Have a great time everybody. I grew up 170 miles south of Minneapolis. It's beautiful farm country south of there.

Can't wait to see photos and hear all your stories.
