Thank you, I just could not figure what it was. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ok, like I had said before you must tell me how many clocks I had to wind and take care of when I worked on a navy ship as a navigator’s yeoman. The job included all the clocks on the ship. Early hints, not all of them were eight day clocks. If anyone hits the number right on I will declare the win right off. Remember, that ship was a supply ship in the Royal Canadian Navy, so there is the question of necessity over cost factor. |

25 is too high a number It only took me about three or four hours to do the job, and most of the work was all the climbing up and down to different decks. I am not counting the pay office guy's Seiko watch. |

We are getting very close: 6 low 15 high 11 low 18 high 25 too high Everyone in Europe and North America should be up right now, and it is 12:15 PM Tuesday in New Zealand. That makes it early morning in Western Australia. I hope this is a good time for this last hint. |

Give him 24 hrs or so. Then just pick the second closest. That might be me and I do have something ready. Pluto will always be a planet to me. Seti Ambassador Not to late to order an Anni Shirt |
