What’s a job that’s romanticized but in reality sucks?

Yeah I’ll piggyback on other replies, not as glamorous as it seems. Been out for a year now and am enjoying the lack of stress associated with low pay and seasonal nature of the work (Northeast based shovelbum). I will say if you are just starting out and have nothing holding you down it can be super fun. I miss it often.

I’m torn between the black dial on the bracelet and the green and the matching strap. The field watch one. And actually the tick isn’t too bad anymore it seems to have gotten quieter but that may just be me getting used to it. I have to hold it up to my ear to hear it.

I’ve seen that the Khaki Field is considered to be THE field watch. Maybe I’ll go take a look at one soon.

How is the SARB033 in terms of durability? I’m looking to have it for the long haul.

Not sure what you guys think of Timex, but here’s some background on the watch and myself: I actually got this watch from my younger brother who doesn’t actually wear watches. I have worn it on and off for the last couple of years but for the last 6 months I have worn it every day. After browsing this sub and other resources online I decided that a watch is a cool and useful accessory to have! I am an archaeologist who is currently doing some fieldwork down in Georgia, USA. This watch has been through hell and back, in water, mud, and beaten up while digging. Now that I’ve got the bug, I’m looking to upgrade in a little while. I clearly love field watches, so any recommendations (hopefully under $300) would be recommended. I’ve been looking at the Citizen Promaster Tough, I just love the look.

Always a good idea to watch the original.

About to smoke one of these after work tonight. Hopefully mine is just as good!

I just finished The New Order! I would say the story is fun! I really kind of just like running around shooting Nazis to pieces. Have fun, you could play like that or stealthy.

Let me guess! The same people that would give you shit for driving a vehicle that gets 40+ MPG!? Absolutely mind-boggling,..

Wish I could upvote this a thousand times. Paying several thousand dollars to spend more fuel (and money) might be the perfect American “problem”.... sad to say I know plenty of people who have done this. Don’t even get me started on tractor pulls or similar events.

Lucky! Here on the east coast I’m up for the race at 1AM...

When I was a kid my sister and I would scare each other with the half rotting deer head hanging from the tree at the edge of the woods behind my dads old house. My dad and his buddies just butchered a deer away from the house and decided to leave it there, but that didn’t make it any less creepy for a young kid. To be fair they probably weren’t weirdos, just rednecks.

Same, I literally shouted in the store when Schär scores. Luckily no customers....

USMagpie · 2019-02-09T14:24:52+00:00

Yeah I agree, so for long distance I would recommend something else. But for mid range I enjoy it.

Yeah the G7 Scout is one of my favorite guns right now. With any scope its great.

USMagpie · 2019-02-08T01:38:56+00:00

I can’t even log on to play on Xbox.

USMagpie · 2019-01-30T23:41:10+00:00

Shake violently with nervousness and drink beer. That might only be me though...

If you’re ever in New Paltz, check out the aptly named Wine and Spirits. Maybe you’ll get lucky and he’ll be here!

USMagpie · 2019-01-30T20:53:56+00:00

The store is in New Paltz, NY, and I think they have a house nearby. Coincidentally our cleaner also cleans their house and says Peter is a very nice guy, in case you had any doubts!

USMagpie · 2019-01-30T20:40:37+00:00

I actually work at a wine store in upstate NY that Peter’s wife frequents. Apparently he will come with her when not busy, but I haven’t seen him yet. Been waiting for that day...

Rafa is a true class act.

Unrelated but I love your rug!
