what time is it? A hair past a freckle!

Ever heard that saying before for those who don't wear watches? Well I woke up with that time a little while ago - take a look!

My late grandfather said this constantly to my sister and me growing up when we came over and asked the time. He passed some years ago, but seeing this thread brought back some great memories. Thanks for that, OP.

It’s obviously a Skin Dweller.

I would get it checked out – I can see a hair line crack.
