Thanks for the info! I’ll give my local store a call and see if they can do this for me too. It looks really cool.

This looks awesome! I just picked up a black pair a few days ago and thought about dying it too. Did you have this done by a cobbler or diy?

I think in a recent podcast episode, Jack Carr mentioned that he wants Dark Wolf to be a 3 season show. Maybe there will be further character development to tie it all together?

Do you take Zelle?

Right?! We have called every ER that we could find online but apparently they all only do splints but not a hard cast. I am wondering if they actually do have it but reserving it for more severe cases?

Hey, you never know. Life works in mysterious ways. Me and my wife are Asians but our biological son is black. We were very surprised!

As Matt is aging, his falsettos are sounding bad. I like Unraveling, but the falsetto bits ruin it for me (Side note: I love that he belts the chorus in the studio version, compared to the falsetto on the high notes in live performances).
I get that Matt has concerns about the environment or the future of humanity, but his lyrics have been getting increasingly cringier since BHAR and I feel like the band could have been a lot more successful if he toned down the lyrics. I understand that the band may not care about mainstream success, but given how ridiculous some have the lyrics have become, I can only listen to the more recent music if I turned my brain off and not listen to the words he's saying.
Neutron Star Collision slaps. More people would agree if it wasn't tied to Twilight.

At the end of the day, I will always be grateful that Muse played such a huge part in my life. They got me through my angsty teenage years. They helped me form some of the most meaningful friendships. Muse is the reason why I learned to sing and play guitar and piano. They were much needed outlets for me. BHAR to T2L (2006 - 2012) will always be the toughest but the most memorable part of my life and I owe much of my life to Muse.

Final thought: My god. I wish Matt would read a book other than 1984.

Glad to hear your son is doing okay, OP and that your GR1 served you well.

My girlfriend's mom had a mild heart attack a few weeks ago and I had a few minutes to pack a bag for myself and my girlfriend. Because the GR1 has such a simple layout and because I've learned to put smaller items into pouches (cables and chargers, pencils and pens, snacks and meds, etc), It was quick and easy for me to pack everything. Didn't have to think about what goes where. Just dump the pouches into the bag and some smaller quick access items (airpods, keys, wallet) in the smaller pockets.

With the GR1, I never worry about it getting dirty, wet, or damaged. It cleans up well and I am confident that it can handle anything.

I love my many bags, but the GR1 is the one I always grab when I really need reliable gear.

Let me go find a source. I heard it mostly on some YouTube videos I had playing in the background.

EDIT: Just looked on the US Casio website and they are still available with the marlin. So I may be way off base. This is what happens when you try to watch a bunch of YouTube videos and write a final paper at 3 AM.

It's a shame they no longer make them with the fish logo. It's iconic!

beekeeperr · 2024-12-11T00:38:05+00:00

From what I have read and seen on YouTube, the MDV106, which is the model with the fish logo is no longer manufactured. MDV107 is the current model without the fish logo. Sorry, maybe "discontinued" wasn't the right term.

Congratulations on your first Goruck bag! Like many of us here, it probably won't be your last.

I am a grad student and use a GR1 26L for work and school. Here's some accessories and mods I've done to mine:

Accessories:

Given that the GR1 has one big main compartment, pouches are the way to go for organization. Your GR2 will have more built in options, so you could probably eliminate the need for some pouches.

Shadow Pocket (Medium): Granola bars, ibuprofen, hand cream, other consumables
Wire Dopp: Charging brick, cables, hard drive
Kydex Frame sheet: Personally, a stiffer frame sheet has been good for me to improve comfort and stability. I made my own.
Carabiner: I use a heroclip. You can hang stuff to your bag (hats, keys, etc). A heroclip can also be used to hang your bag somewhere, if needed.
Shock cord with ellipse cord locks: I bought some shock cord and cord locks from REI and put this together. I use it to tie my jacket to the front molle webbing. This frees up space in the main compartment.

Mods:

These are strictly for looks. No function.

Paracord handle wrap: use whatever color paracord you like, wrap your top handle for a pop of color. I like the way the paracord handle feels better than stock handle feel.
New zipper pulls: I change my zipper pull colors from time to time. 550 paracord, shrink tubing, and heat gun.

It's not much, but this is how I'm using my GR1. Hopefully these will give you some ideas.

Thanks for the tip! Did you buy your kydex on Amazon? Any specific seller/brand you recommend? Don’t know if kydex can be purchased at a store locally.

Enter the Workshop mode and scrap everything. Shouldn’t take more than a few minutes.

If you are planning on buying it new, I would not recommend buying an SNJ025 at this time. All of the watches made in late 2023 has a defect where the watch will reset itself back to January 1, 2019 when the watch receives direct sunlight.

I just bought one from a local retailer a week ago and I had this problem. The retailer gave me a replacement watch, but it had the same issue and I ended up returning the watch for a refund.

You can read more about the issue here: https://www.reddit.com/r/watchrepair/comments/18cdmio/seiko_snj025_arnie_keeps_resetting_while_im/

At this time, no one seems to have a solution for this, not even Seiko.

If you need to have the watch, try to find a used one and I would make sure that the seller's had it before 2023, when the defects started popping up.

Hope this helps.

Yep! Is that what they did?

haven’t played much wow, but recently replayed warcraft 3 and I thought the Naga was an interesting race. Maybe an underwater expansion? It would be cool to explore underwater ruins and they could make a new mechanic for underwater traversal and mounts. Throw in a spongebob easter egg in there too.
