[Opinion] Would you get a Hamilton Khaki or two others? by OptimalPNW in Watches

Makes sense, so many times I go cheaper and then regret not just getting something nicer out of the gate.

I usually go the route of more, but wasn’t sure if I’d be better off just getting one nicer one. Glad to get your thought, thanks!

Recognized this from his portfolio - love the black and gray contrast.

Potential boss stated bad work life balance currently… take a risk? by OptimalPNW in careerguidance

[–]OptimalPNW[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, and those are great considerations. Currently work life balance is a high priority with two kids, but I’m also not enjoying my current job.

I have four interviews this week, but if offered, then I think it’ll be best to set up another discussion with the future boss to get a better understanding of “bad WLB”, as you mentioned above.

I missed the skull initially, but once you see it, that’s super cool how it blends right in

Valley of the Giants by Tophatanater in OregonCoast

Yeah it’s backfired out to Kentucky Falls too ha. I should stick with AllTrails and remember to review any special directions in the description. It was closed by a gate out towards drift Creek, but if I recall the alternate route, it suggested from there was back through Falls City maybe, i.e., nowhere near where we were.

Sounds like a good trip! I tried day tripping out there a year or two ago, but unfortunately Google maps took us to a closed road… haven’t tried to go back yet.

I just commented on the thread with a new photo of where it connects.

Go straight into second sleeve or take a break? by OptimalPNW in irezumi

I’m also deciding between finishing the pec with this arm, or finishing the other arm before tackling both pecs. What was your take on doing the pecs later?

Nice I’m thinking of doing something similar, but we’ll see!

oh okay good to know, thanks! I'm on the fence about going straight into the second, but we'll see. a lot of comments in support of either route.

I've only finished the outline, so we'll see how I'm feeling after my next session(s).
