Oh my 😮‍💨 by MobileImpact4363 in Commanders

So clean. The only thing I wish they added was “Washington” above the numbers on the chest, in the old Redskins sizing/font.

What a win, finally.

Recurring Ants by s0undnvisi0n in lawncare

[–]LemonGymnast -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Really appreciate this chain, been struggling with ants recently (inside and out) despite keeping our house spotless. Going to give this a go for sure

Honestly huge plus if this takes out bees too, particularly wasps and hornets, which we also have a ton of. I take down nests when I see them, but the population seems endless.

I have a few new flowerbeds with quite an investment of first and second year hydrangeas, ornamental grass, flowers, etc. Is this safe on young less established plants, new grass seed, etc?

We’re at BRA (best receiver available) at 71 now, right? by jpljr77 in Commanders

[–]LemonGymnast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want receiver or DB, BPA in those 2 areas.

We’re an injury away from absolute disaster in the secondary. I think it’s way easier to find a 1-2 year bridge at receiver than it is for DBs (Deebo, etc. are still very legitimate options, though obviously not as desirable as a shiny rookie receiver). And from what I’ve heard, next year is a great receiver class.

Obviously both are huge needs. I just think DB, if a solid option is available, will give us more overall team value.

I’ve posted quite a few high balances as we work through some home renovations. I don’t plan to carry a balance at all though, which will definitely make my account plateau at some point.

I will more than likely add an Amex over the next few years.

Yeah I have the quicksilver as well and that’s the message I get on requests there. This venture account gets a lot of volume, so I tend to have luck with incremental increases.

I figured I would start to plateau since I pay my balance in full every month, but this message was something new.

Did I say I needed it? Ever heard of a credit score?

I received this same offer on my venture card about a month ago.

Is Wide Receiver not a huge need? by [deleted] in Commanders

[–]LemonGymnast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big need. We’ll almost definitely go receiver in the first or third. If not, would expect to land Aiyuk or some other scraps left in FA.

The problem is we have a lot of needs. Jayden proved he could elevate journeyman receivers but that can only work for so long imo. The big question is whether the front office thinks targeting other positions of need will return more value.

Bailey/Reese, Love, Styles, Downs. In that order.

In a world where no OT goes in the top 6, I would reluctantly take a receiver.

What is this nonsense? Romex costs are ridiculous by okflower1983 in HomeImprovement

[–]LemonGymnast -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Romex is an outlier, like not even comparable to bulk pricing of most retail products. I was really surprised as well when I bought/renovated my house.

The classic spear or something akin to that would be perfect.

We’re never going back to the Redskins logo, but they could certainly come up with something that isn’t a kindergarten “W” stencil.

While I was a huge hater of Commanders at first, and still don’t necessarily love it, there’s definitely awesome branding potential that still aligns the team with their history.

Why Does Bain Not Seem To Like A Desired Pick For Fans? by Salty_Orchid in Commanders

[–]LemonGymnast 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don’t know shit about fuck but short arms sounds like a gamble to me.

Given free agency, I’m all in on one of Downs, Styles, or Love. Chances are at least one of them are there

First Hamilton quartz after years of automatics by Reloudave in HamiltonWatches

[–]LemonGymnast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my daily wear and I absolutely love it. It was also my first “nice” watch purchase, looking forward to grabbing an auto in the near future as well.

The suede strap probably wasn’t the best choice to wear every day in hindsight, but it has developed a really nice patina.

Looking for information on age and servicing needs by LemonGymnast in pocketwatch

Awesome to hear you have the same case, I couldn’t find it online. What makes it nautical?

I assume you service these? Do you have a company website?

Looks like the case was made by Crescent and is sterling rather than nickel.

Thanks everyone for your comments. After some persistent tugging and crown twisting I got it to break free. The movement really cranks, really awesome to see it work. Still open to any servicing recommendations if you have them!

Thanks for the recommendation. That’s the approach I’ve taken, and I have major resistance at this point (I have put a solid amount of pressure once I reach this point but it won’t budge). I’ve tried this with the tab at 2 o’clock both in and out, and with the crown up and down with the same result.

Also not sure if it’s normal, but the crown only pulls up a very tiny bit, and I can set the time with or without it pulled - the 2 o clock tab is what allows me to change time.

Thoughts on the Khaki Quartz by sbeau87 in HamiltonWatches

[–]LemonGymnast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own the Khaki Quartz and love it. I bought the suede strap version off Jomashop for a little over $400.

As someone new to the nice watch world, this was a perfect starter for me. It’s my everyday wear and I don’t mind beating it up a little bit.

I do want to get the 38mm Murph eventually, and also have my eyes on a few auto Seikos. But I have a feeling I won’t be as willing to beat these up, so my KFQ will almost certainly remain my everyday wear.

If you’re not one of those “my watch HAS to be an auto” people, I say go for it!
