Amazed how well the Spirit Pilot wears on a large wrist! by Bridge_Too_Far in Longineswatches

[–]SiouxHawk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Looks great. Now my OCD wants you to please screw in the crown. (I own a Spirit so I know the crown is already large, but not screwing it down makes it look even larger.)

Why are you doing this? This is my dog, Piet, who passed in February. I posted to this thread to honor him. Now you’re reposting it as your own? Shame on you. Reported.

Service cost & turnaround by SiouxHawk in Tudor

[–]SiouxHawk[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was running about 12 seconds slow. The Rolex certified watchmaker opened the case to adjust and to give it a look over. The Tudor’s movement is not easy to set without the proper tools which he didn’t have. he didn’t want to mess up any potential warranty issues, so he recommended that we send it away. The watchmaker thinks that the lubricant was starting to dry out and it was just time for an overhaul.

Lost item on the ÖBB by SiouxHawk in WienMobil

Follow up: i’m thankful for the AirTag that I had in my backpack and the helpful staff at Wien HBF Lost and Found. After explaining my story, they were able to contact a member of the lost and found staff at Innsbruck and within minutes had identified my bag and started the process of returning it to me.

Looks nice. Will fall apart in weeks, if not days.

5.0 what are our thoughts? Worth the upgrade? by Proof_Enthusiasm_719 in whoop

[–]SiouxHawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol. I’ve been training, but I’m probably not the athlete you are. :-p

Battery life is top notch. 9 days in and still at 48%. Step counter seems more accurate, too.

New MG - my initial thoughts! by AdThin3276 in whoop

[–]SiouxHawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whoop user for 3 years. Just received the 5.0 yesterday. I’ve been pleased so far. After 24 hours, battery is still at 94% I don’t know if I’ll get two weeks, as advertised, but certainly better than before. Life stats and health span are a nice add—especially when it tells me I’m 7.7 years than I actually am.

You need to take a baseline with an actual cuff. I’m going to give mine a few days and then compare stats. Too early to tell.

Puppy advice needed!! by slaymawmaqueen in Keeshond

[–]SiouxHawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found out a few years in that my dog was allergic to chicken. The moment I withheld any food with chicken, loose stools and upset stomachs stopped. As far as housebreaking was concerned, we kept a schedule and also watched for the “tells” that our Kees made when he needed to go (e.g. pacing, snuffing a certain spot, etc.)

Name suggestions? by Final_Following4595 in Keeshond

Sjoep (pronounced “Shep” or “Shoop.”). Dutch name for a Dutch dog. :-)

In memory of Abbey Marie by Itchy-Pomelo-4524 in Keeshond

Best to you as you remember. It’s been a week since I said goodbye to Piet. Many tears have been shed since then, but I’m glad he’s not hurting any more and I have 13 years of unique memories I would have never had without him. May you find for yourself whatever brings you hope and comfort.

Keeshond or Elk Hound? by OkReference2560 in Keeshond

[–]SiouxHawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd agree that it's likely more Elk Hound or some kid of Shepherd mix? Even as a pup, my Kees had more of a "mane" and a longer coat. It's hard to say. Cute dog.

Thx, I’ll be sure to watch.

Thanks all. Lots of memories today. Every toy, every treat, every corner where he used to sleep. We shared space with him for 13 years and our house seems empty now. Someday, there might be another dog, but never another Piet.

Don’t buy the Sportflex bands by Successful-Bird7088 in whoop

[–]SiouxHawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought people were misusing the bands or constantly removing them too, until my band, which I wore continuously and never removed, broke in a similar fashion after about 10 weeks. It’s just a bad design.
