That Steinhart is awesome! Junghans on my wrist tonight. - Tomorrow

A potential candidate for Thursday's watch too.

And mine is certainly based on this vintage model. As a matter of fact, a variation of my watch recreates the block-style numerals of the vintage watch.

It's a good day for a funky cyclops, so wearing my West End. - Yesterday

Sleeping in and I like it! One from the Vostok submarine museum today. - 2 days ago

Remember, you have to lead a moving target Johan. I've got the Stowa out tonight. - 2 days ago

Out of the watch box and adorning my wrist-bone.

That Victor Inox guy makes nice watches. Is that strap made of genuine moo-moo skin? - 3 days ago

And if I snort some more glue I can get a job at FedEx. I am wearing my Blue Angels chrono by Citizen.

Did you answer that it is a baby moo-moo? - 4 days ago

FedEx is the only delivery service I have had deliver without even a courtesy press of the doorbell...WHEN I WAS HOME! I literally got a delivery notice email once as my only way to know I had received a FedEx package at my front door.

There is even a phone app that will translate the text it sees using the camera. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.translate&hl=en_US

My usual way to fix something like that Johan is to kill the power, remove the broken part, take it to the hardware store and ask if they have another of this. - 4 days ago

and I am wearing my Sturmanskie tonight.

This view is close to where I stood to take yesterday's photos.

The city is pretty serious about bringing justice for the dead firefighter's family. But there are going to be insurance companies looking to recoup their losses from USIC if indeed they are found negligent for mis-marking the utilities, not to mention the individual wrongful death lawsuit.

You are the only person to ever say that to me. - 5 days ago

Now if the parts were made in Switzerland and sent to China for assembly, or vise-versa, I do not know.

Had it in the window charging up today.

Downtown Sun Prairie, WI update - 5 days ago

Just an update for those still following the gas explosion story with me. We are just days away from the intersection being opened up for traffic again. It has been difficult moving from one side of town to the other cutting through residential streets, and I will be pleased to drive through again. We have a better idea of who didn't do their job right. A police search warrant that was previou

As the 100th Armistice Day comes to a close (1918-2018) I present WWI in a way all can understand. - 7 days ago

I presented this once before about 4 years ago. If World War One was a bar Fight • Germany, Austria and Italy are standing together in the middle of a pub when Serbia bumps into Austria and spills Austria's pint. • Austria demands Serbia buy it a complete new suit because there are splashes on its trouser leg. • Germany expresses its support for Austria's point of view. • Britai

But the European powers snubbed the Japanese delegation during the peace treaty negotiation so badly that the experience did factor in to the actions that Japan took during the 1920's and 30's. A certain *ahem* elected government person today would do well to study and learn from things like that. Tweeting about it optional.

I too have a Magnavox DVD recorder with a HDD built in, but it is a newer kind with a digital TV tuner. I use it to record my over-the-air shows to HDD in case I am not able to watch live. It maybe has been a year since I actually burned a disc on it. I never bought into BluRay. The early years it had a competing format (DVD-HD) and I did not want to commit too quickly. Then I saw the way stre

I was on a somewhat slow DSL setup until last year, and still did a lot of streaming. If I understand what Fios is, it is a fiber-optic network and that internet service should give speed to spare for multiple video streams.

Almost inspiring story you have. I bet the TV situation cut down on unwanted house guests too. - 8 days ago

West End Sowar Prima dated to the beginning of WWII. A "mid-sized" watch of the time at 30mm. I am currently watching The Lost Battalion, a made for TV movie from 2001 based on a real event in WWI. I've watched it several times, but still a good story.

My story about "cutting the cable". It is sort of unique to me. - 8 days ago

I am no stranger to paying for TV services. The early years of my life in the 1970's TV was just an antenna in the attic, like most of the world. But cable TV service came to town in 1977, and my father signed up quickly. He always was the sort to want a new TV every 3-5 years, and upgrade in size every time. So cable TV service was significant in my family early. When I moved out on my own, natu

I'm going to start a new thread to answer this. I've hijacked 2 days worth of rollcalls already. - 8 days ago

Even with that, they glued a normal hour hand on the hour disk so you can revert to just the hands to read time. Like I ordinarily do.

I've been slowly setting up my new Nvidia Shield TV since I brought it home last night from Best Buy (ahhh, that is what was smaller than a breadbox...). Almost have it all integrated and customized, and the old Fire TV box is now removed. My watch today is the Angular Momentum navigator design.

Nooo I bought something that plugs into electrical power at Best Buy - 9 days ago

Aww, that's too bad. I hope your next cold will be an uncommon one. - 9 days ago
