Cleaned my grill. Which considering it has been in that exact position uncovered for two Michigan winters, I think it turned out okay. The top rack must be some really crappy stainless steel material or is just unrecoverable. The main grilling surface came out nearly as-new.

Very cool and a very special gift! I suppose that definition of "vice", as in "Vice President" makes more sense than "Miami Vice"

Cool, other than I am not sure what a vice-parent is Perhaps your in-laws?

Looks like a very solid choice.

So, British Airways adopted their business class seating diagram in coach?

Yeah, I remember that well! Dusty, likely your friends might argue they are on the same level from an eternal point of view. The question is how would they feel the need to be judging and treat the two people any different, or be loving and kind towards them, etc. I don't deal with child molestors much, but I do with a very strong patriarchal group of individuals that leads to other kinds of abuse, psychological and otherwise, in he guise of child-rearing and women. That is hard for me to deal with, though something you guys probably see very little. Lots to say on the subject, but I enjoy reading more than participating.

/me goes off to research

Where is mypasswordis when you need him?

The same, though I am not sure if that's a real question.

The butterfly clasp is a bit annoying, only one side separates when I press the button and I have to pry with my fingernail to get the other side out. I guess I am too lazy for that.

Would you suggest using the Omega pin on the quasi-slotted Brady, or using the Brady slotted tongue on the Omega buckle, or . . .

I decided on three straps that add up to what I would have paid for the Hirsch: the Brady, a Nato with yellow edging and a Hadley Roma rubber strap with yellow accents. Also ordered some of my favorite matches and a bike rack top tube adapter, all in the span of like 5 minutes, on my phone. Consumerism at its finest.

Yeah that is exactly what I have experienced. So, smallest trimmer with small parallel resistor.

No, it would be something like nearest E96 resistor in series and adjustment at a minimum of that resistor (minus tolerance, assume 1%) and the next available E96 (plus tolerance).

I have a really really dumb question. I would like to get as many turns of a trimmer over as small as a range as possible. For example, 25 turns over 1 ohm. What's the best strategy to do this, a series resistance to set the approximate value, then a resistor in parallel with a pot I assume, but how to size the pot (large or small) and the resistor, without having to do math is the question?

It just needs more current to start working, if I recall.

Now, for some advice! Looking for another strap, what do you guys think about the Hirsch Robby: ... specifically, which buckle option do you prefer? I like the yellow contrast stitching, but would consider other options as well. I've also seen some interesting "nylon" woven bands, but not sure what they are called. They look like very thick threaded, synthetic thread, more more "bulky" looking than a typical Nato. I'm not sure the name exactly. I always felt that Natos were just a bit "thin" feeling, the ones I had in the past were Maratec branded. Also, I saw that the new Bond version of this watch has a nice strap included, which looks like sailcloth with an Omega deployant: That would be cool, if I could score that. Any idea the part number at Ofrei for that Omega deployant?

Love that drive!

They decided to sell me one from their warrantee stash. Excellent! I think I might even put a pair of salvaged caps as PSU bypass for fun.

One off all-time favorite LPs, in a more expensive, quasi-audiophile format

(Not Greek, it's Russian I know... Sue me)

Seems an iconic segue would be appropriate

Seems they sell pairs only? It's better than nothing though, thanks!
