  1. Backpacking trip 10/2024

    The training and preparation continues. Since it's just overnight, to save a bit of weight I've taken the spare pair of pants out. So clothing allotment beyond worn will be: Socks X2 Pair, 1x Skivvy, 1x Tank Top, 1x Long Sleeve Shirt, 1x Hoodie. If the night gets cold I've got an old Wool Surplus Blanket that I've had my whole life and is probably older than my Father.

    Found some 550 Cord I'd been looking for, perhaps 60 or so feet. Enough for the trip. Added that.

  2. The ever fluid Grail Situation

    With the Wife going back to School (to finish her Geology Degree), I've had to become a little more frugal in my dreams.

    So, unless I change my mind in the next week or so, the new Grail -

    Just talked to Topper Jewelers on the Phone today, and I'm only $130.00 away.

    I'm on the South wall facing north in all the photos, it is a smallish restaurant, besides some booths to the left and right from point of view you can see the entire dining area.

    Stopped in today for some lunch. The 50% discount I get makes it cheaper than most places I could choose. A burger, 2 Ribs, 2 Beers, and a Dessert for the wife (peanut butter pie, if she's ...

  4. ...Tired

    Waiting Tables really sucks Donating Plasma pays more and takes less effort...but both pays even better.

    I really, really, like the Longines Legend Diver...and it's cheaper by quite a bit.

    *BLARGH*

    I'm at ~ 20% saved for the Grail, the Omega SMPc is more a "forever watch" than the Longines.

  5. Fingerprints

    Wife and I were in Omaha, NE today. Her Uncle just had a quadruple bypass...but seems as ok as one in that situation is going to get. Prognosis is good.

    While there I seized the opportunity to visit Borsheims.

    I have personally never seen so many Watches in one place. I recall seeing Cartier, Longines, Hamilton, Tissot, Raymond Weil, Citizen, Seiko, Tag Heuer, Breitling, Omega, Zenith and Jaeger Lecoultre.

    I left my fingerprints on at least 100K worth of ...
