Always take the money

Always do something when you have the chance, you may never have the chance again, ever.

CARS Get a Benz

Nobody needs more car than a 10 year old Mercedes. No other car makes any sense. The parts are cheap and they're straightforward and easy to fix and can last for a half million miles easily. They really are built better than any other car.


COMPUTERS Bleh

They used to be fun. Now they're cheap nasty trash. There are some that are nice though. I've pretty much given up on wintel.

I used to think I was a weirdo for having more than one watch. Now thanks to the net I know I'm still a weirdo but so are lots of other people. My histroy is Timex, Timex, Timex, Rolex, Seiko, vintage Bulova then wham I started collecting olsd watches. I like "misc Swiss", Omega and vintage chronographs, mostly Lemania. And Rado, who make about the only new watches besides Omega that I like. Having said that I appreciate the work done by Martin Braun, and Michael Kobold and their ilk.


FISH A focus

Probably my first real hobby after dabbling in snakes, chemistry sets and microcsopes. Aquaria are really a defining focus of my life. I mostly keep killifish and Cryptocorynes (Aroids) and dabble in natural planted aquarium, bettas and low tech fishtanks.


GARDENS The gardening bugq

I could give a rats ass about flowers and gardens, except in spring when I get a mad biological urge to plant things. Hostas are by far my favorite.


VIDEO I have opinions on video?
