Ok, some slight distractions have had left me not interested in computers and forums - simply hanging out in southern California for the past few weeks, checkin out the surf - girls in bikinis, eating way too many mexican cheese and bean burritos and visiting Rubys Diners for Banana Shakes

I hope you can all forgive me :lol:

Pretty much after Vegas I was exhausted . I didnt Enjoy Vegas much, the 12 hours I was there filled any craving there was in me. On my way out I hit a few pawn shops in some vague hope of scoring my next big watch and that how I found the DW-290 ( as shown earlier )

Charger - The thought crossed my mind , but the complete carefree attitude of this guy really threw me a curve ball. Do I or Dont I? I thought about it for some time. Im 6,1" and around 220 pounds. I got the muscle - he was skinny and around 5,7" and he had the drugs - So I opted for a the picture which cost me $1 and which has proved more fun - well to me anyhow
I did stop off and fire a single round from this leaving Vegas - for a satisfying value of $26

Only 1 last watch was scored before I departed America for the pricely sum of $2 ( including the tax ) Why everything does not have the tax included in the price in this country will remain a mystery to me, that was one of the most annoying and stupid things I encountered

This is one my friend gave to his wife.

Finally a group photo of all my buddies from America :grin1:

And , yes my suitcase got opened and searched at the airport due to the amount of metal in it!
