i have 2 seiko's, a mido, a hamilton, christopher ward, citizen, nezumi (soon 2), and a timex. the christopher ward was the most expensive because it is a gmt. however, the hamilton is the one i wear the most. technically the nezumi is my favorite, but i am not allowed to wear it until xmas. 

the hamilton is really a nice piece though. it has a cream face and blue dial. it looks whitle, but is actually cream

the mido is honestly my least favorite. its titanium so it is really light, but it feels cheap. i think because i am used to heavy watches, but i just dont like the mido much

I have a Mido that I love, but it's a quartz. It has the best band of any I own.

I gave away my only titanium watch for the same reason. I have a Hamilton as well, a Khaki King Scuba

 

I hate to admit how many watches I have. I've given some to family members and even let my son choose one out of my entire collection one Xmas. He chose this:

I'd say he has good taste!

The irony of all this is that I'm now retired and wear watches only occasionally. My wife won't let me sell them as she thinks they will retain some value. ?

I am pleased that it is December and we had a 72 degree day today. ?

That we have a cold snap and some of the free food in the yard is ripening.

Finally kinda turned the corner on both the Chevelle and the DeLorean 1:1 projects. Definitely on the downhill run now.

Watching red-headed and pileated woodpeckers from my home office window, chowing down on the hanging suet I put out every winter.

Have a couple of bird feeders and one of them has suet holders on the side. There is one woodpecker that you can just tell he's having way too much fun. Unlike the others that visit this character will land on the upright post holding the feeders and slowly slide down the post. He'll do this a few times before he goes and helps himself too the seed in the feeder. None of the other birds do this little slide, we always know it's him.

Indy Hot Wheels Club had their annual get together/swap meet.  Took the teenager with me as he's been getting into models and modifying die cast.  Great show and we both found stuff we had been searching for.  They also provide a free lunch for attendees!  The plates on the other side were my son's (I'm not that much of a pig).  Food come made it a long two hour drive pack home!

I have paid good money in more than a few restaurants and not eaten that good.

My bride of 53 years giving me a big smile and telling me to have fun working on my models as I got up out of the chair and mentioned that I was going downstairs to the shop for awhile. Gotta love this woman!  ??

It's 10 days until Christmas.

Yeah, I like the holidays.

Finding out that there really are some good people on this forum. 

And breaking into the quart of Egg Nog that kept calling me from the refrigerator...?

Took a sick day today to do some Christmas shopping for my wife since I couldn’t find the time to do it. With my area losing Macy’s and JC Penney’s at our local mall a couple years ago but left us with Kohl’s, Target, and Boscov, it sure doesn’t leave much of a choice to shop. So, I drove to Syracuse Destiny Mall and got far more accomplished in one big mall. All is left is to buy one or two things, then I’m done! Yup.... it was a pretty good productive day today.

The Las Vegas Raiders beat the New England Patriots on the craziest ending of a game that I've ever seen. And on my birthday no less.

 I was watching Fox News and Rob Gronkowski gave a new truck to a handicap  veteran ..

Thank you Ford, for heated seats, heated steering wheels, and remote starters.

With the windchill, it's -42.

[cobraman]

Damn that's cold !

[crazyjim]

Very cold and not for me.  Forecast says it's going down into the mid 20s over the weekend and we're not looking forward to it.
