When you want a fun watch but can’t justify an actual Moon Watch after buying my TAG Aquaracer.

I don't know what I'm looking at. Is it an Omega or a Swatch? Or have they merged or something?

Swatch is the parent company of Omega and they did a series of eleven(?) plastic watches based on the Speedmaster.

Did the same with the Xbox. Also picked up a nice Sanus fixed wall mount. All in with tax I landed around $2k for the lot. We’ve got LG everything throughout the house (55”, 75”, 60”, kitchen, laundry room, etc); we’ve been very pleased. This is my first ultra nice TV. The blacks are insane.

Look into the backward compatibility for the Xbox. I haven’t had any issues with some of my really old games. Just make sure you get one with the disc drive. It’s Blu-ray, so totally worth it if you’ve got a nice TV, plus you can play your old games.

Still need to get a media console, some I’m in temp mode for now. Looking for a sim racing setup I can use with some gear but also play non racing games with.

Hung up a couple old guitars (Fender Telecaster my dad refinished for me a couple decades ago and a 1969 Gibson SG with a ton of miles on it). The “office” is coming together.

Thank you sir for the info!

I might just buy a new non-fancy tv for my office but put the new Xbox down in the basement with the Nintendo switch. I really want to get a steering wheel and foot pedals and start on sim racing.

I think I want to get the Xbox X and slowly start getting things for that to race. And also Gears of War and Call of Duty were my go to games 10 years ago!

Didn't know that. I like the watch.

I have this same watch! It's a nice little affordable collectible if you want an "OMEGA" at Swatch prices. They look nice, but they don't have the weight of high end watch if that's important to you. Coincidentally, I also settled for the Swatch/Omega after getting a TAG Formula 1 Gulf Racing. Nowadays though, I'm wearing my Apple Ultra 2 as a daily.

Yes, I wear the Ultra2 regularly but it escalated quickly, I found a deal on a Speedmaster Reduced in A condition and I'll likely sell the MoonSwatch to make myself feel better about it.

Raspberry Pi 5 kit. I need to run a Scrypted box so I can get my PoE cams into Homekit. More rabbit hole stuff.

My third. OpenVPN, Homebridge, and soon Scrypted. The first two are RPi4s and cost about $35 each. This one was $170 with the aluminum case. Their popularity in home automation has really driven up the price. Plus they pack more horsepower now than the RPi4s.

Would love to see them on the car when they're mounted. Can you post a pic here?

I went for lunch at my favorite German Gasthof and adjacent butcher shop and picked up 4 types of sausages: Weiss, Bock, Knack and Oktoberfest Brat. All nicely vacuum packed now and in the freezer.

It looks like a lot, but it could have been wurst.

Got the call today from Room and Board and picked up the Minister of War & Finance's new chair.

Spendy, but very comfortable. It's her primary "Read/TV" chair, so probably worth it.

Room & Board is spendy, but they make nice stuff.

Nice chair. I see a kitty.

Is that the injured one? (don’t remember the name)

Nope-- that's Boo.

Looks like a model, dumb as a post.

Max (the injured one) is doing GREAT though. Vet's pretty amazed at his progress. We've upgraded to "no boot when under supervision, and absolutely NO jumping". He's gaiting normally, so we're all pretty stoked.

The downside is that due to the weakness of his tendon, he's still stuck in the orthotic boot for the majority of the time until about May.

But, we're calling this a win.
