I did order the adapters to run a fat zulu strap on it. My hands are too big for the narrow strap. Looked like a rubber band.

Yes.
My kangal would lay in the tall grass of his yard and whine so they'd jump the fence. They could climb in... They'd never climb out.

Black background. I was worried it would be hard to see, but the contrast is very very clear. You can easily read it at arms length at off angles even on the brightest day.
It, and the atomic function, are what make it not a $30 watch.

Beer? 17 imperial pints.
Whiskey? Bottle of knob 10 year. Half a bottle of ogd. Wasn't sick, but good God whiskey was coming from every pore of my body.
If playing cards, I'll kill a fifth of good whiskey in 3-4 hours.

Not auto, constant very dim. IE visible in pitch black without having to trigger the light function.
I've gotten spoiled to tritium.
I believe this one has a setting to adjust brightness of the auto light function. A wrist rotation lights it. Never messed with it.
I just like that it is perfectly accurate linked to the atomic clock, solar, and bomb proof.
Not mine, but near identical. 5610-1bjf. Adapter for wide black nato.
Looks like $20 bucks. Occasionally a watch nerd spots it for what it is :lol:
What it is to me is the only watch I haven't broken. My timex has a shattered glass. My seikos have dead movements. My one trip into omegas has a movement so beat up inside it's basically a Kardashian.
I'm too rough on watches. Hell, I just realized my platinum wedding band is egg shaped...

re: Nissan Titan Opinions

My only opinion on the Nissan Titan is that it’s quite possibly the ugliest truck I’ve ever seen in production.
From the factory, I agree. Raked too far forward. Tires one size too small.
One of the few trucks that actually looks better in a long wheel base.
Stock
295s
Long wheel base
The problem is while those gas XDs can tow an absolutely insane amount of weight, it won't sniff 16 mpg. Everything is just too heavy. Brakes are bigger than a lot of true 3/4 trucks of the time. Frame is fully welded and boxed.

I have a Frontier. It was great for the first 100K miles. Since then, I've spent as much on repairs as I paid for it.
If a 4.0, that's on you. Not it. That's a half million mile motor.
17 titan here. 209k miles. About to have to make my first repair, high pressure power steering line has a leak. My fault. I was in a spot where I knew the front tire was in a bind, turned the wheel anyways to shove the truck over a few inches.
Nothing bent or broke, but a week later the line started leaking.
The good: reliable, great power, zero gravity seats are very comfortable, 18 mpg if you keep your foot out of it. They are extremely underrated for towing because of the factory p metric tires.
The bad: factory tuning has too many safeties built in. You only get about 25% power until 35 or so. They compensate by making first gear a granny low.
If you just flash tune the truck, you remove the overzealous safeties with basically zero loss in reliability. The only complaint is if you stand on it at 20, even 35s won't find grip :lol:
I have two tunes, one for 87, one for 93. The 93 tune will take a 6500lb truck from 0-60 as close as you can get to five seconds flat. The 87 tune is 5.5 seconds.
We just got back from New York. We'll be headed to Idaho in a month or so.
Edit: factory nav sucks. I use a phoenix head unit that's a large 14in display. Works flawlessly.

Absolutely terrible. Don't go there.
Definitely don't drive out there, build a bonfire on the beach, watch people night fish, and fall asleep listening to the waves.
Awful. Dreadful.
In all seriousness, on a super cold night, Rutherford is one of the most peaceful places on earth.
I have given KLSUs phone number for the last 20 years.

Fine, a facilities manager for a major hospital group, overseeing over 1k employees also is offering the same as what I would consider a glorified cashier.

More like hand holding via telephone when customers freak out about market changes. Not my cup of tea, but still insane.

Anyone else noticing this? I was browsing indeed earlier and noticed an account exec for a fairly large wealth management company had a lower base than a position at costco... Wtf

I get the national pride aspect, but the bird is approaching a half million known birds if I remember correctly.
The bald eagle is effectively a handsome buzzard. Ben Franklin was right, the turkey would have been a more fitting bird.
