    Well, @Fantasio... it was my first live performance in 4 years, and trial by fire in front of 1000 people, and a group with a 55 year history (even though nobody in it now were in the original version.) I thought the sound level in the room during the group's 90 minute set was deafeningly loud. One friend in the middle measured it at 114 dB, which would be illegal in some places. I don't see any reason why it should have been that loud. As an intuitive reaction, I tended to play softly during the 40 minutes at the end when I joined them. In the video that I saw on YouTube, that did draw the overall levels down, but I also got lost in the mix. Our set was completely improvised, and a bit rough around the edges at times, but overall I think we hit some really nice moments. My own stage presence leaves a lot to be improved on, though. The older I get the more hermit-like I seem to become.
    Too many watches, not enough wrists.

    This company will not produce another watch, the owner experienced too many obstacles and is calling it quits after this one.

    Coast Watch - Pacific Explorer.

    Good bracelet, dial and finishing is above average, but the lume is horrible. Here's a quick, not so good picture -

    I refused to pay the shipping costs at first but saw people were getting them when doing so, so, I took the gamble and it arrived. Without sending the ship costs requested, you may be waiting quite a while or just not get it. Your call.

    Oh, I'm willing to take the gamble. I suspect you're right and there's a distinct possibility if you don't pay, you won't get...

    Good choice.
    Once in awhile you get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    Never seen a pic of Garcia wearing a watch but I'd like to think if he ever did it would've been a Sinn. Comes a time...

    Just realized -- today is the fourth anniversary of Hunter's passing.

    Such a creative mind and brilliant lyricist. Clearly among the greatest songwriters; Bob Dylan, Nathan Willet (Cold War Kids), Kris Kristopherson, Lucinda Williams, Peter Gabriel, Toni Braxton.
