Lunch with Paulie

Today I had the pleasure to meet Paulie and his beautiful wife, while on a business trip to Syracuse.
They are GREAT folks, and I enjoyed every second of the time spent with them.
(and we almost witnessed a shootout! )
Thanks for the awesome lunch guys!

We had a great time Chip. Maybe someday we can do it again. Lunch was my pleasure. Guys, if you ever get to meet him, Chip is a super nice, down to earth person. We talked about motorcycles, cars, watches of course, and many other topics. It was a great time and we also enjoyed every minute of it.


Psst, Chip...where's blue eyes?

Excellent photos, Chip. And so many things to appreciate... Good food, a great watch on Paulie's wrist (Black Monster, if I am not mistaken), a beautiful wife and a fine, FINE Harley! Superb!!!

Thanks for the kudos Allan. Yes, it is a Black Monster Chip's AT chrono is a beautiful watch. Iwas very impressed with it when I saw it in person. He told me the accuracy is within 2 sec a month. How can you beat that?

That accuracy is excellent! I don't know a great deal about the AT Chronos, so will have to look into that brand. Glad you guys had a great time. Cheers!!!

Oh, THAT watch! Just plain beautiful!!! Thanks for the photo and clarification, Chip!

Prince mutters under his breath: "I just gotta get me an Omega!"

That's the one to get. It's a beauty in person.

I think you need what I sent you a pic of last night.

LOL - are you editing my posts now, Paulie? Slipping in little more-than-subliminal messages about watches and things?

Ahhhh, the perks of being a mod!

Well now, that's VERY interesting. I never wrote these lines in my post:

"I think you need what I sent you a pic of last night."


Gremlins, eh?
