  1. Quest for the Grail

    In the same way that Indiana Jones was searching for the Holy Grail, I know what I'm looking for, just not what it will look like.

    Current contenders:

    Breitling Avenger II Seawolf
    Ball Engineer Master II Skindiver II (Yay for Two's apparently)
    Omega Seamaster (41mm, Black)

    Donating Plasma has proven effective, but insufficient, so now I'm waiting tables. I'm not sad about that, it's a new experience and an opportunity to supplement my income ...

  2. Blogging?

    It was cool once, if you had a blog you were you were right there at the frontier of social media.

    But I fear that I'm behind the times, just seeing the appeal now, and blogging is ancient history? Unless I'm wrong But it looks to be all snapchat/whatever.

    Oh well, I'm just going to ramble on and whoever joins me will be welcomed with conversation

  3. Square one!! :( :(

    Wife was complaining about having to share the laptop, so I went out and bought a Chromebook! I had been planning on purchasing some technology to use for forums and internet, as I only had the laptop or my phone. Just didn't plan on draining my meager watch savings. Oh well, I think I was planning on perhaps shifting from the Breitling and looking at the Omega SMPc. If any of you have had the misfortune of knowing me for any length of time you know how great I am at making up my mind. Sorry. ...

  4. Demon Kitten broke my 'Hat Rack'

    Pretty sure it was the Lilith who broke my "Hat Rack". I shot that deer over a decade ago, and it's moved with me everywhere. I believe one night Lilith tried to jump to it, and when it fell, broke the antlers in half right at one of the cranial seams. Nothing epoxy, and a generous length of 550 cord couldn't cure. Try to break it now DEVIL CAT!

  5. Quest for the Grails update

    After seeking information from the AD I plan to buy my Breitling from, they've quoted me 15% below msrp and no tax. That changes my numbers somewhat:

    Darn, that only gave me 1%! Oh well, better than nothing. Won't be getting any donation money this week due to this cold/whatever. At least the weekly payment went down.

    Oh, and not to be left out, Nichole now has her Grail being worked on:
