What's your passion?

Or passions? I love history. Don't care who's, just love it. My other is interacting with young ones. So fresh and open to all views. 

 

Oh, and no politics thanks. I think we've all had a gutfull. ๐Ÿ™‚

Fixing things. Taught myself how to fix watches and clocks with a lever escape mechanism a few years ago and I buy broken ones and once fixed sell them to the local antique dealer.

I'm not able to fix a Swiss movement they are much more complicated than a lever escape movement. You have to have a special press to remove and replace the jewels in a watch with a Swiss movement. The only one of those I've seen was on tv on that show pawn stars
