Watson

Long story but I'll keep it short.
Watson left CA at 3:00am Korea time and landed at 3:23pm Korea time.
Had to be at cargo shipping company's office at 5:00pm.
Was there 5:15.  Paid fees waiting for last of paperwork.
5:30 Quarantine department's computer dies, may be fixed by 6:00 but dinner break is 6:00-7:00 so maybe not.
Came back at 5:55, paper work is all there, Customs office now closed for dinner, and customs hadn't cleared him.
Me, friend who took us to airport, his son and Grant are starving.  Drive to Terminal and grab dinner.
Meet the Brazilian youth soccer team (12 year olds in training for the pros)  Very cool, they are playing in a tournament in Korea this week.
Back to cargo office at 7:10, still no customs paperwork.  Cargo guys rides with us to customs, works his magic and gets paperwork stamped.
Back to cargo office, 7:45.  Get forms for warehouse.
Cargo guys leads way to warehouse on the other side of cargo terminal.
Go inside give lady forms, she asks for money I give it to her and she disappears with paperwork.
Go outside and walk into huge!!! warehouse.  Guy on forklift comes out of elevator with enormous crate and Watson.
Happy reunite.
Stuff in car, drive home, back by 8:45.  Tired
