This is Timothy from Timmins in
the North of Ontario, Canada. On the first pictures I saw of him, hew was in
the middle of winter standing like here outside, while it was -30ºC! Isn't
that the temperature you can throw up a hot cup of coffee and must duck for
falling coffee ice cubes? Timothy worked in mines digging for valuable
metals, until a motor accident busted him up bad. Wearing a G-Shock is not a
luxury down there. He told me that many miners wear DW-5600 as disposable
watches. If you can't read the LCD anymore through the scratches, you buy a
new one. Well, those beaten up DW-5600 sure tell a story on their own! Tim
knows I like sunglasses, so he took a second picture for me.
Very cool picture, specially when
you know the picture was taken a day after snowfall, while it here in the
Netherlands just reached 17ºC and everyone here says that spring is
late.....
One of his other passions is his
car. As he describes it himself: "here are some pics of my treasure, a
completely restored 1968 Pontiac Firebird 400 muscle car. I love to
take the kids for a ride .... you should see the grin on their faces.
Well worth the $25,000 I spent to restore it".
