Finally finished the box I made to put the wife's present in. Really happy with it. The handle is a detail I love. It's a cream leather amplifier handle I got for cheap off Amazon, but it feels amazing.

Finally poured the slab for the side of our house. After building a retaining wall and back filling. It's 90ft by 12ft, problem with being able to do things is doing them. My new favorite saying "little engine that could, but probably shouldn't.."

Really like the omega factory nato straps.

Randomness saves us from tedium yet again, a trio on the podium that no one would have bet on! Perhaps Bernies sprinkler idea wasn't so daft!

Yea unfortunately for them Enzos reach does not extend beyond the grave. The old man would never have allowed the regulations that nurfed their engine. I was really impressed by Sainz and mclaren. Thank god they banned engine modes btw clearly that closed the gap..

Wife tried to get sympathy from the kids by saying "daddy made me go to the gym with him, isn't he mean to mommy" Girl #1 response "but mommy can I tell you something? You need to get stronger" In the parenting competition with the wife I'm pulling a big lead..

https://www.autoweek.com/racing/more-racing/a33843258/homebuilt-contraptions-beat-the-fancy-pants-porsches-at-pikes-peak/ "In this corner, one thousand of the best German engineers ever assembled, with computers bigger than your garage using computational fluid dynamics and finite-element analysis to create the greatest and most powerful customer race car in the world - the 911 GT2 RS Cluuuuuubsport! And in this corner, a guy from five miles away who went down the street to his dad’s garage and built a car with him. Are you ready to rummmmmbbbbbblllleeeeeee?????"

I read this on planetf1.com It just so spot on, I couldn't stop laughing. "If there is one positive for the Scuderia heading into the Italian Grand Prix next week, it’s that there will be no tifosi in the stands to witness what looks like being another humiliation." I really do feel bad for the drivers, sucks when the engine is ripped from under you by regulations and the development of the chassis went in the wrong direction.

Especially if you had one before I understand really liking the 300m. The friend with that aquaterra also has the new black dial SS 300m. He likes it a lot and switches between strap and bracelet. In fact he has an original bond 300m that he bought back in the day. Still in very good condition considering it was his only watch until I became a very bad influence on him in ~2013. He's bought about 10 omegas since then lol!

If you are thinking of rubber strap and want omega you should also look at the aquaterra, my buddy just got this exact model. They also make TT versions with the rubber strap that are very nice.

Lug width looks fine on your wrist. The omega rubber straps are not as compliant as other brands. My planet ocean big blue has one thats natural curve just happens to fit around my wrist perfectly. If your thinking at all that you might want the bracelet too get that with the watch. Adding the bracelet later is a rip off. I have a TT blue and yellow gold newest version 300m on the bracelet that the wife got me for our anniversary when it launched a couple years ago. It's been a really nice watch that is passable in both casual and most dress situations. Love the ABC Islands. Would retire to Bonaire if I didn't have to renounce my US citizenship to avoid paying taxes twice.

Was fun walking around the watch shops in Vegas. Not much new obviously.. but I have reached a conclusion as to what I will be getting next, when the watch buying moritorium which has been imposed on me by the wife expires. Its movement looks like it's made from a scaled down erector set and like all SBB watches the cambered case and rubber strap wear super comfortable. Will replace the stock strap right away with their red alligator/rubber strap. The wife is pretty funny she complains a whole bunch about my watches but insists on keeping a list around so she can buy them for me on special occasions. She tried to be slick about noting the watch info while claiming she was txting. Also commenting on how well it fits my wrist. Also at the patek boutique she bee lines straight for the grand comps and just loves how "pretty" they are.. I assured her that of the very b few things in life I know for sure, she doesn't love me THAT much!

I appreciate the input. I need to do steaks more frequently so that I can try new techniques and improve my overall execution. Going into the fall when it's not so damn hot will be a good time.

So slightly better than expected, the weigh in this morning was only 3lbs up. Might have something to do with the 110f heat making all the walking around i do a bit more intensive.

fuck forgot their is a thread for this, just finished eating our bone in Ribeye. Brushed with duck fat mostly to get the flames to come up from the bottom of the egg for a nice char. Ate those with some yellow potatos from our garden and we still have yellow onion(from garden) in foil with butter salt and pepper waiting to finish, but those take a while to caramelize. steak was a bit over done.. I normally only grill tri-tip and ribs. Sadly steaks and burgers I am only about 50/50 at getting right. Would really like to get a proper smoker to try some different things.
