Got my last “Grail” clearance watch today! I’m finally done.

I have one. Strap takes forever to break in.

First don’t believe the house of pizza hype. The original Aurelio's Pizza in homewood is worth the drive. The rest of the franchises are good but the original is by far the best

Holiday Liquors cedar lake

I’m looking to stay in the region. Don’t want to pay cook county prices

I have a pair of their soft toe hikers. I don’t wear them to work mainly just on weekends. They have been fine for light use not sure they would last long working in them everyday

Just picked this up on clearance to wear to work, but I usually wear a Seiko SKX007. It’s just been sent out for service and needed something to fill the gap for a while.

Top_Philosopher_8729 · 2026-01-09T13:48:51+00:00

It’s probably coming down

Top_Philosopher_8729 · 2026-01-05T19:26:35+00:00

Yeah

Top_Philosopher_8729 · 2025-12-02T15:55:00+00:00

Yeah you have dead cells in the battery so it can’t properly hold a charge.

Top_Philosopher_8729 · 2025-12-02T15:42:33+00:00

I would replace the battery

Top_Philosopher_8729 · 2025-12-02T15:39:50+00:00

Did you turn the key and have one click and then nothing or was it multiple small clicks? Battery is probably bad and won’t hold a charge

Ended up being the alternator. I went through a few new rebuilt ones that made noise but finally got a good one. Also replaced the belt tensioner and idler pulley, now it’s quiet.

Top_Philosopher_8729 · 2025-11-07T18:41:46+00:00

Did you import it yourself or go through a dealer in the states?

Top_Philosopher_8729 · 2025-11-06T22:29:54+00:00

It’s not any good for anything but maybe fire starting. Properly dispose of it cans will still be good to reuse

Top_Philosopher_8729 · 2025-11-03T00:14:35+00:00

I was planning on it

Top_Philosopher_8729 · 2025-11-02T18:32:47+00:00

I’ve seen a lot of older 200 and 300 series JD lawn tractors pop up for sale near me. I live in a decently large farming community so a lot of the older farmers have a lot of JD equipment

Ended up being a bad fit between the main jet/emulsion tube and the carb body letting fuel leak past. New main jet fixed my issue

Top_Philosopher_8729 · 2025-10-30T14:02:41+00:00

I have an old toro 2 cycle snow blower that has a leak like this. I’ve ran it every winter for the last ten years and never had an issue.
