submariner look a like from timex

there is more info on the timex site


















so I bought one. It's smaller (than the real thing across all dimensions) and the bracelet isn't as nice as the real one (put it on a velcro strap anyway). But it's accurate, comfortable to wear and it has INDIGLO. That helps these old eyes. I've used the Diver bezel twice this week to time food on the grill. This I love.

So for less than $40 USD, I think a good beater. I may still lust for other, more expense watches like maybe an Omega SM 2254 or 5513 Rolex on NATO.....whatever. This works and I'd never spend real money on those kind of watches anyway, at least not today ;-)

Hanna floods basement

Tropical storm Hanna arrived last night and quickly dumped 5 inches of rain on Danbury. It was more than the gutters and drainage could handle, resulting in 4-5 inches of water in the basement. Barb and I bailed for a couple of hours after opening up some drains and gutters to run off the water. Not too much damage done. Special thanks the Van (our cat) for alerting us to the situation (his litter pan is in the basement)

porfolio bag



I have to thank Kim at Quest Outfitters for her help with the zipper. Great service, a real pleasure
