    Probably belongs on the Inexpensive Watch thread, but indulge me… One of my cheap dive watches died and I need to fill the case. Looking for suggestions for a “type” of watch rather than any particular watch.

    Suggestions? Field watch? Flieger? Vintage? …?

    Spinnaker for good dive watch designs, and a very good bang for the buck IMO.

    pancetta for a pilots or maybe a fleiger design

    Am I a dick if I think people that order food for 10 people should go inside and not fuck up the drive thru ?

    For sure.  Beatles from Rubber Soul to their end, Pet Sounds, the emergence and transformations of the Stones, Pink Floyd, the Who, Led Zep, the Kinks.  The summer of love and psychadelica, Hendrix, Janis.  Elvis' comeback.  The golden age of country with Johnny Cash, George Jones, Merle Haggard, Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette, Roger Miller, Tom T. Hall, Conway Twitty, all in their prime.

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Pretty much the golden era of rock. Stones, Who, CSNY, Doors, Dead, Dylan (my holy triumvirate of D's) Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Joplin, Buffalo Springfield, Yardbirds, Clapton,  Zappa, Lou Reed which all led us to Punk, and the second British invasion, stop me if you've heard this before... Not even really discussing Woodstock, or Monterey Pop festival.

    Yeah, dont take me wrong in Chrono. I would buy from there, but their guarantees are for sale protection, not product legitimacy. I collect bowl game watches and I have seen a few Cotton Bowl Rolexes from China there, that I am pretty sure are replica dials. And Chrono has a rep for being overpriced. It’s all ok if you know your item, but not ok at all if you don’t. 

    I always contact the seller to discuss the watch and get some additional details before purchasing. So far I've had good luck but I would definitely be more concerned about brands that are more likely to be fakes or vintage pieces.

    Well, you're buying the seller as much as the watch.

    Canyons was pretty good today for not having snowed in awhile.  Groomers were in good shape as it has been cold.  Shoulda busted out the camera, but didn’t.

    Love the Canyons . We see more moose there than anywhere else. 

     

    Love the 9990 run

    I ate at this Chinese restaurant in San Francisco. I can’t remember the name. Very popular, line out the door. Relatively small, nothing fancy, you’d share a table with strangers. If people tried to sit around chatting after their meal, the old lady would come and yell at them to get out so someone else could sit down. That place was awesome. 

    Yeah there are places like that, one place we frequent has a sign right as you walk in

    I think it is known that I was a chef who became a stay-at-home parent nearly 25 years ago. That first quote reminds me of the sous chef that had 'yes chef' tattooed on his left forearm so he could just flash that to the head chef instead of replying.  We teased him about putting 'no chef' on his right forearm and his reply was, ' there is no no chef.'

     

    Not if you're having continual drinks at a decent rate.  The profit margin on cocktails is higher than meals.  I get the value of a table, but the work involved for bringing a drink is less than managing meals in the kitchen.

    Now if it's happy hour prices for drinks I tip a bit more because the waitstaff is still working at their regular rate.  Often when we we'd hang at a bar to watch a game we'd trip a server up front, and say this is to show you we'll tip correctly so bring us your A game service. Typically more more was left after the bill was settled up.

    Used plans I found online and modified to my needs. When I priced premade cabinets locally and online the costs were pretty high compared to what I could do by myself and the quality not nearly as good as I wanted.

    Since I had all the tools already I just built them myself. Of course I decided to build them when lumber prices were/are at all time highs.

    Well hell, that just makes ‘em more valuable …

    I wish NFL and NCAA would switch to ad banners at the top or bottom of the screen and have fewer commercial breaks, something soccer gets correct IMO. All the damn tv timeouts break up the flow and momentum of the game and take what should be 2-2.5 hrs into 3+ hours (often 4 for college).
    There is a campaign to move the Super Bowl to Saturday permanently so people and their kids can stay out later on a non-school night and people don’t roll into work on Monday with a raging hangover. It breaks tradition but I guess it would be fine. They aren’t stepping on any other football’s schedule that late in the year. 

    A Saturday night Super Bowl would be cool.

    Productivity the Monday after would skyrocket
