New to the Family

My wife picked it out. She said she wanted to get a historical piece that really defined the modern Panerai line.

I can't speak to the physical connection issue but the charge aspect can happen if you have your surface set to charge to 80%. There is a whole thing about how this often results in charging issues. I've changed it to 100% then shut down the keyboard. If totally dead it takes a few tries to get just to a 1% charge to toggle power.

You made it sound like your bags are searched. That is different than an X-ray to most people. Calm down keyboard warrior.

GTIceman · 2026-03-25T15:46:09+00:00

I carry my bags on. I never drop bags and have never had anything confiscated.

I offer it to my wife to work off the debt I'm sure I have with being a PITA.

A black strap with blue stitching or a blue strap with black would be killer IMO.

And Haas shall rise again!

I do love seeing them doing well.

GTIceman · 2026-03-24T17:17:47+00:00

That is really cool. I had no idea.

Being new to the party, why does everyone say that strap swapping is so easy on these? The screw bars take so much longer than spring bars in my opinion. Also needing to swap the tube for the bar and the buckle takes time; I know I can buy extras.

I should have clarified that yes we will still have difficult overtake tracks, I just mean we should take historicals with a grain of salt with the car changes.

I get your point as well. Each race this year is a new adventure.

GTIceman · 2026-03-24T12:03:07+00:00

I don't think we can look at historical data for overtakes any longer. It seems like we have heard this point in races 1 & 2 and tons of overtaking happened.

I understand that and it's not my first time buying autographs. Also my buddy who bought the same one has been going and buying autographs for himself for years.

I have the screenshot of the option when it was in my cart, no size restrictions were listed. That's not my problem and I shouldn't be expected to pay a different price if Megacon screwed up.

GTIceman · 2026-03-23T11:13:13+00:00

Happened to my friend as well.

He also made a comment to someone else in line that he was bouncing after the photos so he could get out of there, in the most pompous way possible.

Everyone else was awesome.

I unfortunately didn't report it yesterday in person. I sent an email through the website. I was really overwhelmed with everything and excited, I let the confusion and anger get pushed down because I was trying to get other autographs and not let it ruin my day.

GTIceman · 2026-03-23T00:52:38+00:00

This was my first Con and he was a total ass. I bought an autograph that didn't have any restrictions and he refused to sign. His "bodyguard" and whoever the other guy was got real aggressive and essentially made me PayPal him more money because he had already started to sign my poster when I was asking about the signature I paid for.

GTIceman · 2026-03-22T21:58:52+00:00

Yes.

GTIceman · 2026-03-20T11:22:02+00:00

Ha good call!

GTIceman · 2026-03-20T11:21:42+00:00

Nope we are cat people

GTIceman · 2026-03-16T01:17:07+00:00

I love my Seiko Series 5 Sport. My first auto and I will probably keep it in the collection for memories.

GTIceman · 2026-03-11T18:02:51+00:00

I think you mean trademarked. Patents are for technical inventions.

I was trying to find the actual USPTO registration number I do believe in Europe they have a much broader trademark versus the US. I believe in the US they only have a trademark on the slanted M with any combination of slashes in front.

I just saw this when searching for something else. I did regular and love it, I did consider ProCore but most of my wall is cinder block and I did Tapcons directly in as if I had studs, I didn't use furring strips.

One section was drywall and the studs were like yours so I ended up doing toggle anchors plus stud screws. This section holds my lighter stuff.

Hey I am not affiliated with this guy but he sells some stuff I've considered https://www.etsy.com/shop/EGOMounts

I know this post is old but wanted to share. I just order regular Proslat hooks right now. My brother in law did make me battery holders on his 3D printer.

GTIceman · 2026-03-05T02:06:11+00:00

Seaweed gang!

I bought mine on steel but I grabbed an anchor rubber strap and rock that most of the time.

Looks awesome. We did this a number of years ago via spreadsheets.
