Is it time to “right-size” the range of button cells?

An older lady at church gave me two of her watches to replace the batteries, and despite my ownership of numerous sizes of button batteries, I had to...

My wife and I had an almost dry January and it went well, so I’ll be doing a dry Lent and a no-corn-chips Lent. I was pleasantly surprised to see how many people were at 8 AM Mass today for ashes.

commented on How common is interest in ⌚ shared with fountain 🖋️? ·

If you like anachronisms, then fountain pens and mechanical watches fit the bill. When I was in engineering at school and the new electronic calculators were all the rage, one guy chose to use a slide rule and I admired him for it.

What kind of person sells a G-Shock?!! Anyway, sharp-looking Mido with a cool band.

ItâÂÂs the copper. Back when pennies were solid copper, they would develop a fairly strong smell from being handled.The tin component doesnâÂÂt really have a smell, though tin does have some other interesting properties.

commented on What watches have you gifted to friends and family? ·

Giving something away is good for the soul. I have only given away two watches, to people who needed a watch and didnâÂÂt have one. My sister got a âÂÂSAABâ branded quartz, chosen to be given away because it lacked a date function and my sister liked it, and a Fossil quartz to a guy my church is helping because I didnâÂÂt need two beaters. Of course, soon after that I broke my remaining beater. ðÂÂÂ

Funny that you posted that today. My wife made me wear my Solar G-Shock GAB-2100 to Mass this morning. I thought that going to church called for something dressier but what do I know? I’m just a man.

Welcome to WC. There’s nothing wrong with being 16. I’d love to be that age again.

Time to change tires

Took the winters off yesterday and checked the brake pad thickness. The beater Fossil that I wrecked the chronograph function on is perfect for that.
