My youngest is 6, so in theory, I also have 12 years until she is in college (assuming that is the path she takes). So I don’t see myself being able to retire for another 16 years at a minimum. However, financially that would be impossible here in Texas (or anywhere in the US) because this is a second career and didn’t start planning until I was 31. So, there is a better than 50% chance, especially if I want retire sooner than later, it will be to Brazil. Which is fine by me. There is a lot I love about Texas, but there is a lot I don’t like. People like johnny sack-o-shit for instance. His type of people run this state from a place of hate and bigotry. I see he has already stopped by to comment on diversity. If we are such and amazing state, why can’t we get education and healthcare (I know the latter is more federal than state)? Why does a state with so many resources have to suck? Regarding Houston and cost of living, I have brought that up many times on this site and people always argue that Houston is “affordable”. Our household income is north of $250k a year. I know that is not Surly 1%, but if I recall correctly, that is in the top 5-6% of income for Houston. We are considering moving to Cypress because of schools. I can’t afford private school. I don’t think it is financially responsible to buy a half a million dollar home either. But the alternative is $400k house in the burbs and public school. And that market for a house and good schools and not 2 fucking hours in traffic from work for my wife and I is razor thin. It’s a shitty feeling to be educated (I have two bachelors, my wife has a masters), have good jobs and still feel stuck.

Damn. He was really great in Euphoria.

It would have been cool if they named the album (or song) David Bowie.

Lulz

Very hard to watch.

Narrator: No, he would retire much sooner.

Hahaha goddamnit.

Chinesa looked like he had been out of the game. Walked into that d’arce.

Damn. Put him on the main card with someone else tonight? He is ready and isn’t hurt hahaha. Jesus.

Hahaha Salvador fighting like a douche and loses the decision. Well done dipshit haha.

Ok, so I guess Little Watch Shop down off Welch didn’t want to waste their precious time fixing my watch. I suppose I could try myself, but honestly would rather have someone else do it right the first time. I assume that the bezel insert could just be removed and adhered centered at 12 o’clock. Any suggestions for a shop in Houston that would do this? I was going to try a place in Oak Forest next weekend if no one else had a suggestion. Here is a photo, and I know this is slightly OCD…

It’s greenspoint.

I thought I saw that the Pereira fight was cancelled.

I can’t sleep so I reread this thread. It’s a surly masterpiece.

Definitely Damage Inc. still better than 87.3% that came after and justice.

Looks like I have been to 10 places here in Texas that he featured. Not sure about other states.

Well hello neighbor (kind of). My wife did undergrad in Botucatu down the road a bit. I lived in Campinas. She has to go back in a couple of weeks for an unexpected trip. I’m pissed I can’t go. To not derail this thread, I dropped off my Canister diver at the watch repair shop because the bezel insert was slightly off center at 12 o’clock. $22.50 to not be annoyed every time I look at my watch. Should get it back next week.

I was just talking about Portuguese day up thread. Probably do the same next time I am there. Where in Brazil?

Fuck man. That’s crazy. I know you will find something soon. I’m trying to calculate about how many jobs I applied to during that 14 month COVID layoff. It wasn’t as many as one would think because there just was no work happening. Maybe 75? I just switched jobs. Went back to the engineering side of the fence of O&G. But it is completely insane. Every week I get hit up by 5+ recruiters for jobs. The polar opposite of how it was in 2020-2021. Good luck man.

Is that cavalry blue? Those motherfuckers.

I had the man Yobokies himself make me a Seiko Sea Monster in 2015. Quality is great. I don't know what kind of pressure testing he does, but he claimed it would be rated the same as before it was modded. I have swam numerous times with it and no problems. However, I don't ever wear it. I wear my Winfield MT1 and Canister Fieldmaster much more because they feel less bulky and are a bit lower profile on the wrist. If I was going to another Seiko mod, I would want to base it off a 62mas case.

Just make sure your sex tent will pass inspection and try not to hit any overpasses and you should be good to go.

I haven’t had a chance yet. Was in Europe and now about to start new job. But it’s on my list.

Turned out to be a solid card. Seen plenty worse.

Ouch
