Month: May 2019 (Page 1 of 4)

–Rolex 1625 Turn-O-Graph came in. Buggered up the caseback opening it as it was tightened by a behemoth. Why do they do that? Replaced green leather strap with Oyster bracelet and it looks pretty good.

–Hearing aid batteries went out around 9 PM.

5/30/2019

–Took Grace to the dentist in Aptos. Root canal/crown coming. Apparently lost my Benchmade/Boguszewski auto while sitting in the waiting room.

 

5/29/2019

–Went shopping at Target and Food Maxx.

–Reconsidering iPhone 6S (older, larger, rounded case) vs. SE (newer, smaller, square-cut case). 6S feels nice now (after using SE for a while), but SE is said to have better battery. Arghhh…

–Japanese pruners came in. Nice, but not mind-boggling.

–Nozzle popped off the end of the Flo-Jet tube. Crap. Took the Rocket apart to dry it; not much moisture there. Put it back together solid, then wiped it clean.

5/25/2019

–Heard from Tom Elken that he has a place for the U.S. Open. So, no incentive to spruce up 110 Playa.

–Put together an Omega Seamaster ‘electric blue,” which was running much better than when it first arrived (0 beat error, -1s/d), so I can get rid of the one from efauser.

–Looked into, and gave up on, Rolex Hulk (green dial and bezel, but “super” case; and Kermit 50th anniversary (green bezel only, black dial, nothing to indicate it’s an anniversary watch.

5/23/2019

–Kato tamahagane letter opener came in from JNS. What a piece of crap. Separations, splits, sharpened by a 10-year-old. Will toss. Expensive lesson.

–Watched an episode of Wiseguy with Kevin Spacey. Dated, but the man can act.

5/22/2019

–Shabang potato chips came in (found on reddit, apparently their major market is prisons). Good stuff: vinegar and barbecue.

–Replaced hearing aid batteries around 6 PM.
