I'm jealous weekly of you Peter whenever I get a pic of one of your hikes. We are heading to our last minute default vacation to Asheville, NC in two weeks. Back on topic. We may be going on an Rastern Caribbean cruise in the fall with my in laws. The only redeeming value Ii will get to dive and Gail is willing to take a refresher course and join me. I would love to take pics during a dive so I'm considering one of these for y Lumix ZS7: http://www2.panasonic.com/consumer-electronics/shop/Supplies-Accessories/Cameras-Camcorders/Digital-Camera-Accessories/Camera-Cases/model.DMW-MCTZ10_11002_7000000000000005702 Shelly, have fun in Hawaii!

Started day with Mysore nuggets followed by this:

Macrumors reported this on Thursday. If I was a betting man, I would have my money on picking up a new MBA on Thursday.

Safe travels Al.

I had one of these on my birthday in honor of Al's vacation:

You posted before I could. I just ordered 2 pounds.

Greg Happy Birthday!

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

Happy Birthday Birgir!

Nice Keg! I have the older model. Did you use charcoal or lump? The only time I have any sparks flying is when using my torch to light cheaper lump coal. Once it's lit, no more sparks. If I use Green Egg lump or other higher quality lump, then the sparks are minimal when firing it up. Once it's going, I get smoke coming out the top and no sparks.

Al, I guess your trip doesn't suck. Keep the pics coming when you can. The weekend begins:

This will probably push me to sell the Damasko.

No.

It's a disease I tell ya. I've wanted an MKII watch for a while. I just picked this up: Blackwater MMT (didn't buy the bracelet)

Happy Birthday CJ!

Thanks, I will. I like that watch but don't think I can pull it off.

With luck we will see the MBA release by 7/19.

A decent deal on a Crumpler Reginald bag: http://www.steepandcheap.com/

The watches are both pretty close in terms of accuracy. Automatics are always going to need to have the time adjusted every so often. It's not an issue for me as it's rare that I wear the same watch two days in a row so they tend to need adjustment when I put them on in the morning. I only have one watch winder. One day I will get one of those Orbita's like Jeff has. Todays wrist shot: I received this watch in a trade a while back and forgot about it. If anyone wants it, $100 shipped conus. I have the box and paperwork:

Enjoy Al! Congrats Bryan!

Dan is correct. The Stowa is the one with the brown leather. Al, a man of your status should get the IWC. The Stowa is for us country lawyers. The Stowa will stay and Damasko will likely go.

I probably wouldn't take it in the pool either.

Dan, looks good on the zulu.

I forget a lot of things but typically it's not the day/date. I'm holding both for the moment. Now I'm waiting for the new Ocean7 LM-4 V2 ceramic case to be released. Wrist shot brown strap:
