Glad you’re still safe and sound brother Happen to be wearing my GMT today too. Enjoy your celebrations this evening and thanks for sharing your story; it’s a great reminder to actively live every day and be present in the moment because none of us know when our time is up.

I'm new to the site since you first posted your story. I have to say I was captivated and read all 9 pages. I was so hoping you would still be active and lo and behold when I reached page 9 there was your anniversary post from today!

Magnum has been my favorite show since it originally aired, and I've wanted a Pepsi GMT ever since the episode you mentioned. Maybe one day but hopefully not to commemorate a similar experience.

Thanks for the great thread and hang ten!
