Default Funny story about the belmont

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.
