–Went to Taylor’s Market for bone-in turkey breast; got Acme bread, jam, cookies, pizza dough/crusts, etc.
–Took a shower.
Month: November 2020 (Page 2 of 3)
–Replaced hearing aid batteries around 9 AM.
–Asked James Hyman in UK to return Rolex 5513 dial/hands he was going to relume so I can send the watch off to Rolex. It will be interesting to see what they do with it.
–Got bagels at Noah’s; did big shopping at the nearby Raley’s.
–Watched a couple of Bruce Willis “paycheck” movies. Bad bad bad…
–Went to Devon’s (original location; papered-up one on previous trip is what they’ll be moving to) and dropped off the Rolex Day-Date for service. Was assured that my name would still be on the list for an OP 36 turquoise.
–Took a 12-mile bike to Hagan Park. Nice, but too many squirrels crossing the trail.
–Replaced the springs on the oven door. Works better.
–Walked to Bel Air for dessert. Marie for dinner.
–Went to Roseville Galleria to drop off Rolex 1803 for service at Devon’s. Devon’s was boarded up. Turns out they were temporarily in another location at the mall, but I didn’t find this out until I called from home. They could have put a sign on the window. Got a pizza stone and paddle at Williams Sonoma.
–Used the new Kitchenaid stand mixer to start some bagel dough. Misread the directions and used tablespoons of yeast instead of teaspoons. We’ll see.
–Squale Onda Azzurro came in. Tossed it. Gotta stop lusting after Squale (too big, among other things) and Steinhart (bad lume color).
–1803 hands came in. Tried to swap dials back to diamond dial, couldn’t get the stem back in after mounting (original) hands and putting watch back in case. Stems are going to be the death of me. Will send the watch to Rolex; it could use an overhaul anyway.
–Manchester Watch Works watch came. Nice, but super-big-appearing black dial (perhaps because of minimal text and hour markers that are right at the edge) is not hugely appealing.
–Took a shower. Used the Simpson Centenary Chubby II. Put a large dab of Bigelow shave cream on it, only got one pass. That’s okay, it’s really a collector’s item.
–Spent a fair while updating logins that I missed a week ago. Also added Firefox to my phone, and apparently as it synced up it resurrected dozens of old logins. The internet never forgets.
–Made pizza for dinner.
–Went shopping at Safeway Citrus Heights.
–Made some cream cheese with chives. Good but not amazing.
