  1. New sports models from an AD are VERY hard to find. At least that is all I read on some of the Rolex forums. Unfortunately I am not much help on newer Rolex sports models. I just don't like them for a variety of reasons. I am very old school with my tritium Sub from early 90's. I am not a fan of ceramic bezel inserts - if you smack then it's hundreds for a new one vs the metal one on mine. Plus I am not over endowed with a huge wrist and the newer cases are bigger. Finally I really only like a GMT on a jubilee bracelet. Like I said - old school
  2. And nothing is working the way the how-to's say. I don't think my personal email is that complicated but it sure isn't working. Opened both WLM and Outlook (had to create an acocunt to do this - called it AUinHSV). Exported email from WLM. I had two email account (called it A and B) Shows up fine except I know have three inboxes - AUinHSV and 1 and 2. Erased and tried again - created two accounts in Outlook - A and B. Export created two more A and B under them. At this point I am ready to forget migration and just create two new accounts. I used POP so it will download a few hundred emails and I can recreate the WLM folders. Am I missing something here? In WLM I can have two independent accounts - it seems like Outlook has an umbrella account with these under it but even then it wants to download all the emails to the parent account
  3. Can'r write TLDR on the article because I spent five minutes and got 1/4 way so TLQR - quit reading
  4. and his wife was probably very happy when Nike started making waffle shoes instead of Bill doing it in the backyard with her waffle iron
  5. Really liked as Coach Bowerman in Pre. Proved he could act in roles other than military.
  6. may not be a popular opinion but I really can't like a watch with either the winding stem or the date at some obscure angle. I guess I'm old school and want them at 3:00.
  7. Donovan also was in HOF and a fantastic speaker. Google Donovan and the Tonight Show and see how many good stories he had.
  8. Fired up for the day after that. You don't know me because we didn't punt very much....
  9. Just be glad you did not have to use the actual modem commands to establish the connection. ATDT - Attention There - Dial Tone And a few other obscure modem commands just to get the connection. And then ftp and other fun commands to get stuff. All of this was before Mosaic so way before Netscape - like 1992, And yep I guess I'm old...
  10. Posted in another thread but the ending of Manhunter with Ina Gada DaVida - that song made it work Pearl Harbor - of all movies but the scene where they are taking off for bombing Japan. can imagine it was possibly just that chaotic to laucnh hundreds of miles farther out. As a side not the word suicide mission is overused but not for Doolittle Raid - they took off knowing they didn't have enough fuel to make it and also not even knowing if their landing fields had been built. Luckily a tailwind got most of them to China
  11. Have some rep for that cheer team post. You could make a case that this website wouldn't exist without it
  12. Not going to defend 2.88 in that major but I will say it MIGHT be on 3.00 scale and not 4.00. I know my graduate school average was on 3.0.
  13. First I would not get a Nato. Just a lot of extra strap that the kid has to mess with. I keep my Submariner on a cheap military grade strap that goes under both spring pins just like a Nato but also has a traditional buckle. Here is a link and thta website has other straps. However I don't know if they are still in business but you can see other straps https://westcoastime.com/military-field.html Another link with lots of straps - I have the Maratec Mil strap for my Sub. No idea of how good/bad the website is - found it with a search https://countycomm.com/collections/watch-bands/products/maratac-mil-series-bands As far as spring pins - have other Maratecs on a Seiko dive watch and stuff like that. No issues. The beauty of the under Nato or the mil strap is you can loose a spring pin and not the watch. Rolex claims their pins are better but who knows. Your main issue may be removing the old band or strap. I have a "classic" Sub so I have holes on the lugs for pushing the pins out. A lot of newer watches have "no holes" so you need a tool to get the pins out to take the old strap off. Looking at a picture of the Gizmo - no holes but I kinda think it may look good with a Maratec. The one issue that does occur to me is that the kid's wrist is small so you may have to trim any type of strap to get the holes to fit
  14. IIRC Steve Spurrier thought his offense would take over the NFL also.
  15. Guessing no. Before around 1980 they had to use Augusta caddies. Nicklaus won six and his son was on the bag for the last. I think Jack used the same caddy in the 70's but am guessing he probably won at least one in the 60's with a different caddy
  16. Hoping he goes for the flower power "Mod Top"... Friend in high school had a yellow Cuda with the Mod Top. Very rare
  17. kinda like how they installed the white cabinet door just in case you didn't notice
  18. Better hope she doesn't read this forum
  19. Outstanding 😀
  20. The dice are on the table - which actually meant something at one time
  21. Thanks - amazing that Tom Noonan doesn't get many votes for one of the scariest villains on screen
  22. Guessing some of it is an older married person who wants to keep the partner from finding it. They store it away and suddenly die and no one knows about it so it gets auctioned
  23. Still remember and like the ending scenes with the music by Iron Butterfly. Not going to try to spell the song but it rocked
  24. No argument on the cost but if you have a complicated prescription (-9 and astigmatism) then mail order is probably a crapshoot. I use progressive lenses since I need reading correction and those with a high index lens are the highest prices. I may try to get a mail order pair someday but have no idea where they will put the transition points without me sittting there. On the other hand I buy cheap readers on line for wearing with contacts
  25. Know the feeling. In 2013 I did a reverse endo on Picnic - basically tried to pull the front up over something while going uphill and went backwards on a cedar tree and stump. Had a really nice slash across the kidney for a few weeks
