Funny story about the belmont

[skippy3481]

Was talking to gpk on messenger and relayed to him my story for watching the belmont and he though everyone would enjoy, so here goes nothing.

Where I work, we have no cable tv, so i was resigned to just dvr the races and come home and watch them after work. We had been slow that morning, so i had decided to walk over to the radio shack directly across the street from where i work and see what gadgets i could play with. Upon entering, i noticed a big screen tv, that was turned to some show on tlc. Instantly, my mind was turning. If only I could get him to move that tv to the front window and turn it on espn for 6 hours, I'd be set.

Soooo, i just went up and bluntly asked him to do it. He of course said no, however everyone has a price, and his was cheap; 10 bucks and i had to help him move it to the window and then move it back. So we moved the tv to the front window, and instantly i relized that this was not going to work. How could i possibly see the tv from all the way across the street. The mind kicked into gear again, I know i need a pair of binoculars. I also conned him into letting me borrow the display set of binoculars and i watched out my front window into their front window for the whole day. If that doesn't say how much i love horse racing then nothing will; or maybe it just says im a compulsive gambler...... who's to know.
