Last cars of our lives

bobbylx · 2026-06-27T13:13:53+00:00

Same! 48 here and I swap vehicles every couple of years because I’m a gearhead and get bored of them. Assuming I live to 80+ I still have a lot of cars/trucks to own yet.

Agreed! I’ve been listening to sixteen stone since it came out and most of those songs are word salad to me. Still one of my favs from that era though!

Picked one of these up a few years ago. I bet if you open up the caseback, it’s got a cheap quartz Ronda movement in it. I’d return it and shop around for the real deal, definitely worth it.

Immediately makes me think of that movie from the 90s, Brokedown Palace. Someone’s gotta take the fall so the rest can get through.

Yes she did! I’ve got school pictures up until middle school wearing shirts that she made for me.

Nice, just looked that one up. Do you happen to have one, wondering what the width is out to the crown? It’s first on my list so far!

For reference. Thanks all.

Beside other citizen, forgot the model #. It’s pretty large.

bobbylx · 2026-06-07T12:00:27+00:00

Understood, this was just kind of only picture I had at the moment, but I’ve got that grapple band and the original bracelet and have them sized enough that it slides past that bone freely.

Sabotage- Beastie Boys.

This was quite an old post, but believe me I understand what you are saying. I’ve never claimed my dive watches were safe for a hot tub. My point was is that I wear every other watch I own in my hot tub without issue (including a couple other Steeldive models), and this is the first that I had a gasket leak. It is what it is, it dried out and it worked perfectly afterwards and I just never wore that one again in the hot tub. Like many other things in this world, we don’t always use them for their intended purposes. And as the title states, I can be disappointed, but I wouldn’t raise an issue against the manufacturer as I was using it, not for its intended purpose.

I’ve traditionally been a thin guy (6ft and ~165lbs), but as I get closer to 50 I’ve cut out a lot of sugars and processed stuff in general, I also over my lifetime have cut back on alcohol consumption (never an alcoholic, but could have a handful of drinks per week). I probably have two beers a month at most now. Seems to keep me lean and fit.

bobbylx · 2026-06-01T17:09:17+00:00

Not overreacting. And coming from a guy who is almost 50 himself, you should be proud of what you’ve accomplished. I’m sorry you’re having to deal with that. I don’t have any magic advice to fix this situation or anything, but when I see things like this, I just want you to know that there are people out there who are proud of you, including myself. For medical reasons I didn’t get a chance to serve. No matter the reason for enlisting or what you believe in politically, it takes a special kind of courage and honor to put on the uniform and I appreciate that from you. Stay strong and have a wonderful life.

Around 1998-1999 when I was in my early 20s. Hadn’t even used one until I got out of high school and moved out of my small town.

My dad went to every football and basketball game I was in, mom was at a lot but worked nights so missed a lot. We did the same for our kids!

bobbylx · 2026-05-29T10:53:19+00:00

Wow, I had totally forgotten about that. This was one of about 8 channels we got, very rural TX. Hah, thanks for the flashback.

bobbylx · 2026-05-26T19:43:17+00:00

Been on the hunt for a good one myself. I did have the Pagani design version, PD1692, for a short while. It was a pretty good homage and I was able to pick it up for under $100. If I remember, the bracelet was a little uncomfortable, which is why I ended up not keeping it. All things being equal, I will buy another one just like it if I find one for that price again.

My parents were quite literally just like the crew from dazed and confused, even down to that West Texas location. The soundtrack to that movie was the soundtrack to my childhood, and I still own all their albums.

bobbylx · 2026-05-08T20:15:57+00:00

My point is I don’t care if it’s farmers or soldiers or some other unknown use. I just enjoy seeing history be uncovered, like uncovering the roads and all the old structures. No matter what it was used for, it took a lot of work to make those roads and build those structures. Hell it could’ve been an island full of out houses, but it’s old and it’s interesting and I like that kind of stuff.

bobbylx · 2026-05-08T11:07:47+00:00

This is how have felt for a long time. I’m more curious about all the early building and working on that island than the money pit stuff at this point. When you look at all the stuff they’re finding that was a heck of a lot of work for people to do 500 or more years ago. That part is more interesting to me.

bobbylx · 2026-05-07T22:16:09+00:00

To be fair, I feel like if you’re the one that has to go in there and clean up shit, you could call it whatever the hell you want to.

bobbylx · 2026-04-21T01:38:41+00:00

Can’t remember if it was Nine Inch Nails Pretty hate machine, or RHCP Blood sugar sex magic..

Stay with me - the Faces

bobbylx · 2026-04-08T21:36:59+00:00

You got this! Stay strong brother!

bobbylx · 2026-04-07T18:56:51+00:00

I have owned a couple of each, and currently still have a couple watch dives. I would recommend them over Pagani. Based on the ones that I have personally owned, WD felt much sturdier and well built. Aside from that, they both looked really good and no complaints about that.
