when you least expect it! Such was the case today as my mail lady knocked on my door and had me sign for a small package! WTH? I wasnt expecting anything! To my utter and complete surprise there was a small Brown envelope from Great Britain. It was a watch band but NOT just any watch band......... it was a Nato strap strap worn by the Company Royal Marines in Great Britain. The colors: Blue for the Maritime Connection Yellow for the Original Uniform Color Green for the Light Infantry Red for the Blood lost in his Country. Aha........NOW I remembered......Jason (Dad -The -Diver) had told me to expect a small package he was sending my way and this was his way of surprising me! It's kind and generous gestures like this that make our Forum and it's members GREAT. I promptly and w/o hesitation quickly installed it on my 6309-7040 and am wearing it with GREAT PRIDE!! Thank you VERY, VERY much Jason! thunbsup.gif

What a nice gesture. Restores one's faith in humanity. Having been the recipient of such gifts, I know just how you feel.

chinathumbsup.gif Fantastic gesture, and a great looking strap (that's the first time I've ever seen one of them)! Congratulations, I'm sure you'll wear it with pride and fondness.
On a side note, some nice keyboard gunk there, mate! laugh1.gif
