band

ok i got a new watch band for the omega... this is a NATO strap that is used by the NATO military force as well as british military dive teams. it was also worn on sean connerys rolex in all of his films as james bond.

noble!

ok this is a VERY VERY rare sight... this is a car called a noble M14... they are a british car like lotus but it is pretty hard to get one over here... im guessing that this is one of maybe two in the entire state. they are faster then my lotus and way more expensive too... i couldnt get a better shot because i was driving and this sighting happened really fast... hopefully i can hunt this guy down and get some good shots for you guys...

my new desk!

ok so at work i got moved up to the quality control manager position which means that i make sure that all of our incoming parts match standards and measure the same and i put labels on everything and all that. This is my new huge ass desk with all of my paints and inks and measuring tools....

this is an example of what some of the valves look like when they come in... i take them like this and do what i do back at my desk and then sort them to where they go in the warehouse:

car show!!!

ok these pics are about a week late but these are th epictures from the Intermarque Car Show at the Radisson hotel in Plymouth. Its a yearly show that features a bunch of british sports cars both classic and modern. I took the lotus there.mine is on the left and a VERY nice 2003.5 esprit parked right next to me.
