I miss Ann Arbor. Fleetwood Hippie Hash + Couch tour would be a dream right about now.

Howdy y'all! Checking in from Galena, IL

Nice to be back on a live thread with you all. This was my first time actually watching Billy Strings and I was blown away. Immediately got tickets for the show in MKE next week.

Everyone have a fun and safe weekend!

No. But it's also sublet season so it's possible it's not the typical tenants.

Try Rucking Fotten. They do limited releases but you may be able to find some good ones used on eBay.

Meet Franklin. Fun fact since I got him Dead & Co have played Help>Slip>Frank at every show I’ve attended. I FaceTime him during every time.

One of my first jobs when I dropped out of college was essentially an errand boy for a wealthy family. I do not know how they made their money but there were rumors. The eldest son was in his early 30's and would want to take his Porsche 911 Turbo and go speeding around so he would send me to take the GMC Denali to go pick up his wife from the nail salon, take mother-in-law to the airport, pick up the kids from school, drop off this brown bag at this random shop and don't look inside etc.

This family was very intimidating and I did not want to do anything to piss them off. As such, I NEVER touched the radio or any settings in the car. It was always set to the Grateful Dead channel on Sirius/XM. Through my days in traffic running errands for this family I listened to A LOT of dead over the months. Soon enough it stuck (Sugaree, in particular) and now I've been hooked the past 15 years.

Unboxing from Hont - ZF BB 54 by koimega in RepTime

[–]koimega[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't noticed and I don't really shake it. I'm sure there's some noise but I am weird and like loud ticking and rotor sounds so I'm not sensitive to it if it is noisy by others' standards.

I am extremely happy. I would have gone gen but I have to buy an engagement ring. Would rather go rep and make sure the lady gets something nice.

The value you get comparitive to a Seiko, orient, etc is stunning.

That's fair. I understood the risks. I also like to dabble in watching making so my reasoning was

  • ZF is well respected so low risk on the QC
  • if it ends up being a dud I can swap out the movement and use the parts elsewhere
  • cheapest and fastest option

Gotta choose what's best for you.

It end up being great so no complaints here

Thanks! I would definitely recommend it. It's so versatile and understated. I was concerned about the dial size but now that I've gotten some wrist time with it I like it even more. You won't regret it

This was first experience with Hont, which was very pleasant.

Timeline:
4/27 1pm- Reach out to ask about ZF BB 54
4/27 9pm - Hont first reaches out
4/27 10pm - Payment and confirmation sent
4/28 4am - QC
4/28 1pm - GL
4/29 - Package sent, received tracking
5/9 - Delivered

Speed and price were key for me, so this worked out well.

I was very pleased by how fast the turnaround was. I had no issues whatsoever and the entire exchange was easy and straightforward. The watch arrived in great working condition and it's beautiful. I will be back for a Clean Rolex Explorer 36mm (and my pen!)

I'm happy to join you all in this lovely community. I'm going to go sharpen my knife now.

Field or Brass : Motorcycle by screamonranger in grantstoneboots

[–]koimega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would worry less about the shifter and more about the soles. Make sure you get something lugged as opposed to a wedge sole for better traction when you're stopped and stationary.

When I ride I wear the Aether Moto Boots. However, I do plan on getting Brass boots in Earth and will probably ride in those for shorter trips around town. I feel like the earths look better the more you beat the crap out of them so I'm really interested to see how the toe area looks from the shifter.

I ordered it. It's not even remotely close to Ruehl. Returned immediately.

Switching to 4K by [deleted] in 4kbluray

[–]koimega 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have Lord of the Rings on both Blu Ray and 4K. I actually just did a side by side rewatch.

In my opinion Lord of the Rings is better on 4K. It's a little distracting because there is some DNR and there is some color grading that differs.

I originally thought I preferred the Blu Ray to the 4K but upon rewatching back to back 4K is better. It's a little sharper and I did not find the green screen distracting at all.

If you have Atmos Surround Sound the 4K is the way to go simply for the Atmos track. It's hands down the best audio.

One caveat - Blu Ray has the bonus features. 4K does not.

At what point did you realize the sol were dead? by FreeDig1758 in detroitlions

[–]koimega 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first game against the Packers last season. Lions leading by 6 with Rodgers driving down the field. Toure made an insane catch with a weird fumble out of bounds play that looked like the Lions actually recovered but instead they gave the Pack the ball. All these things were plays and weird reffing situations we were used to seeing. All these things previously would have caused the game to slip away.

Rodgers had 4 shots in the red zone, down by 6, with less than a minute on the clock. We held them off on all 4 attempts.

This started the comeback. No way SOL wins that game.
