And thus the search for the "perfect" watch continues... I'd whittled it down to

• Seiko
• diver
• 42m or less
• non-metal bracelet
• green dial and/or bracelet

I went through hundreds of listings of Presages, (baby) Alpines, Prospexes, Tunas, Sumos, Padis; hell you name it...
Most of 'm are either bigger, way more expensive and usually both those things...

I settled for this 1986 6458-602B 200m diver. New battery, new strap. Bought for 270€. It was shipped today (no pics or impressions yet) but here's a pic from the listing:

(I should add... This is meant to take some abuse... Nothing fancy... Just a trustworthy Japanese workhorse...)

That Faulkner sure was an insufferable c*nt...

Talking of METAL GEAR SOLID 3: SNAKE EATER is another on the list.

Who's going to see CITY OF CATERPILLAR on their €uro tour come November? I'm definitely going to see them in Belgium.

@Matt said in New Balance:

Those are tough.

So are the Alps. Just ask Hannibal!

So I'm taking these and a regular pair of GTX Hierro trail shoes. Should be ok.

Well I figured I'd get these since I'm attacking the Alps in April...

Belgium and Belgians (pronounced Eejits ) are far more tolerable after several alcoholic beverages. Although avoiding them entirely is your far superior option.

Also, cups. I like a bit of colour.

From a couple of days ago. North Easterly wind dropped the temps to -6C°/ 21F.

I tried this'un today for the first time. Holy cow it's fun. Full bodied, smoke, bacon, countered by a "pine forest breeze"...
It's ok, I'm allowed to talk this kind of nonsense. I've been not drinking for over two years now.

29€.

@pechelman said in + TEA. THAT'S IT: TEA. THE END. +:

It's not something to make in a hurry before trying to get out the door to work, but it's a nice mindful routine to enjoy on a lazy morning.

I switch to making coffee when I have some time... That being said I drink a liter of tea every day...

This wasn’t already a thread?

A goddamn travesty!

@RobeOfTheMagi I love Sencha, Kukicha and Bancha... Granted I've only tried the basic ones... And Matcha seems too much hassle... For some reason...

It has struck me that I started a tea thread without knowing pretty much anything about, y'know, tea... I've been drinking it for nearly 35 years but yeah...

I add two cubes of sugar/ liter and one teaspoon of honey. Sue me. I drink tea whilst I'm either working or hiking. I need that sugar, baby...

Hah I got stuck looking at the indigo punch for a bit whilst browsing... Not very into fruit(y) teas though (except for hibiscus)...

Y'all are gonna cost me a boatload of money...

I have a local specialised tea shop btw... Got these last x-mas... I've only had the "milky Oolong" but yeah it was great...
