Picked up my daughter from the airport today, after she's been gone at semester abroad since August. Had a nice meal together and then we got to present her with a brand new Subaru Impreza Sport to replace her old Subaru that was totaled in our accident last December.

The Bad Plus Joshua Redman was incredible. Any opportunity to catch this act should not be missed.

The first photo is of a shaving set I got on the Internet, however when the badger knot came off the original handle, rather than glue it back on that handle, I decided to have a similar handle made to one I already have that was done by a local metals engineer, which both are in the second photo. Those two shaving brushes are on a stand the same engineer did, I asked him to do me that stand because I had a spare piece of black ebony rod used in making my custom razor handles that I've already posted on this thread. The metal on the stand in the first photo is chrome plated, whereas the new stand is solid stainless steel and quite heavy for it's size, so will probably last a very very long time. I've yet to glue that badger knot to the new handle, but when I do I'll be using epoxy resin.

Saw Muse last night at the Rose Garden, they were really great. Phantogram opened and they were good too.

I seriously doubt that flight was delayed because of snow in Houston (unless there was a big cocaine bust at the airport).

That's it Shelly! Jacob, I lived in Bellevue for 2 years. Not a fan, though I imagine the downtown part is fine. Way, way better on the Seattle side though. Combo dumplings from the dumpling tzar. This would not happen in Bellevue at 11:18pm.

Well, I basically have two of the same watch (to the uninitiated). In reality one is an automatic and one is a HEQ, one is black dialed and one is white, one is no-date with gorgeous symmetry and the other has a date function. To most that would seem odd.

I'm done for the holidays! Had a very nice Hanukkah celebration at my sister's tonight, the last family party of the season. It was a little low key, normally my dad and step-mom host; but my dad wasn't feeling well so it moved. It was a little bit "thrown together" but that made it actually more personable. Saw some very nice folks we see only a few times a year, and had some great food and chats. But that's it now. The benefit of being Jewish with early holidays....now I can relax and coast through Christmas!

Here's hoping they accommodate your request and go minimal on the repair Chris Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Saw The Bad Plus at a music. Good stuff. I imagine adding Joshua Redman to the mix must have been awesome. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I’d take $500 worth for 50 pc’s no problem.

Ramen at Jinya Ramen (no pics)... good choice for this rainy cold day.

Rained here today, snowed up in the mountains.

Sucks Jp. Possible you will have sometime today or are you looking at Monday?

Well, the larger Grand Seiko limited JDM antimagnetic which has the 9S65, to go with the smaller HEQ version: http://www.ablogtowatch.com/grand-seiko-sbgr077-sbgr079-magnetic-resistant-watches-hands/
