I am a horologist. Ok, I always like people to guess what that is, noooo, don't look it up, I will tell you later. You don't have to post your guesses, but come on, guess NOW and see what you think I do.
I will give you a hint, the word is Latin, so if you know that it might help. Actually I don't wear a kilt while I work at home and I will explain that in a minute, but when I go out to customer homes for service calls, I sometimes wear a kilt. Mostly the black Survival from UK.
Ok, give up, and havent' figured out that hora is Latin for "hour." Ok, so I work with hours, what could that mean? I repair clocks from my home and go out to get the movements from grandfather clocks in peoples homes. I tried wearing the kilt in the shop, but it is a small area and the kilt brushes up against all the weights hanging on chains for the clocks; cuckoo and grand father. Also the work can be very greasy and dirty at times, and would really ruin too many kilts. So blue jeans work good for that.
Just a note, my license plate is "TIMEFIX" and here is a web site for you. I also have a large automated Christmas light show every year and those links are on there too! The picture shows me in my tan mocker (now shortened) as I didn't have the Survival at the time. www.dalesclockshop.com And one other little fact about me, I have an automated home all run by computer. The house talks to us, and does many "amazing" things.
DALE.
