4712.4 is a nice round number...

Speedy back on its way. It was dried out, a small amount of rust was removed, it was timed and regulated, and the waterproofing issue has been addressed.

The Master Ultra Thin on bracelet looks great! They made a dozen of those, Stretch? What is stopping you from getting one?

I wouldn't know. For all I know, you have a green blob on the back of your head. All I know is that I used to be able to make fun of myself. I'm the last person who needs protecting, and I honestly resent it. Commiseration, sure, sometimes.

You do you, Al.

That was two-thirds of the point. And most of why it was funny and embarrassing.

You be you, Dan.

But do they include a nice watch? If not, you're just shitting on me, and the photo that I recently found, for no reason. Hip-hip-hooray, I guess. You're the man now dog. Roll something-or-other. That picture is almost 12 years old, and I thought it was funny; the watches thread hasn't had a lot of watch related content, lately. You be you, Dan.

Bad beards and ill-fitting plaid shirts are embarrassing, in my opinion. Especially when the person with both thinks they are "cool."

What is the most embarrassing pic you have where you are wearing a nice watch? I bet I win.

She's probably too busy with her new house to use her influence.

I'd have a hard time arguing, being the holder of a good one. What did I do today? There is a new Massdrop drop, if anybody here wants a Pico Slim or DAC/Amp, but also I set up a date with a professor at my alma mater whom I've been flirting with for four months (she's finally back in town, now that school has started again). I guess this has been the long-game. We'll either get along or hate each other, but I'm looking forward to finding out on Thursday night.

I'd love to hear those. A repair, maybe? I'd certainly argue that the RS-1 was too.

We got about 92% coverage here in Cincinnati. It was fun. My pinhole camera worked great, and people in the school across the street let me use their glasses, which was fun. Taken right after maximum coverage.

Happy birthday!

There is a lot of marketing speak on that website. As somebody who works in marketing, it makes me suspicious.

Well, it worked!

Close enough for me! I only have it on CD.

What 6-eye do you have spinning there? Edit: Never mind, I zoomed in.

Did you buy a Galet, Stretch? That micro-rotor is so sexy.

Those tomatoes look fantastic, Al!

I got routine blood test results. My triglyceride levels were 489 mg/dl, right before I became a vegetarian. Two years later, it's at 160. Still a little higher than I'd like (high triglyceride levels run in the family; for instance, my mother weighs a hundred and twenty pounds and has as pretty low calorie diet, but has a triglyceride level over three hundred, despite statins), but I think that's a pretty darned good result. Everything else in the lipid panel were squarely in the "normal" zone. Fasting blood sugar is under 100 (everybody on both sides of my family over the age of 30 has diabetes except for me and my mother, so I think this is a triumph!), my resting pulse has fallen under 75 (again, still higher than I want, but it was over 100 two years ago). Blood pressure has been good despite reducing the amount of medication I take. I think I'm doing pretty darned well.

Well, I mean, there is no guarantee that a time traveling dinosaur won't sit on your bicycle tomorrow. Old watches can be made waterproof the same way new ones can. The watchmaker fucked up. That sounds shitty all around, though.

The brown lume plots put my teeth on edge. I do hope whoever serviced that watch paid for repairs.
