Bernard Watches out of Austin is a decent buyer. They'll have better offer than the big places like Bobs. I've tried to do business with them 4 time but never came to terms buying, selling, or trading, so take it for what it's worth.

Second hand can be had around 50k which is where I'm shopping really.

Class C isn't something I can do right now with young kids. Need them strapped in with car seats.

Also happy to pay for hotels for travel at this point in life.
Itching to have a family road trip vehicle and I keep coming back to these. 3 young kids, all in car seats, so need them strapped in and like the idea of entertainment and comfort for everyone. Primary use would be weekend trips and long vacation trips, not a daily driver.

Is this unnecessary? Anyone have one and happy with it?

This one is too rich for my blood, but it's the idea.

It was my Great Grandfthers

Who gave it to my Grandfather.

Who gave it to my dad. (Who is passed in 2014)

Now in the ownership of stepmother, who now has put it in her will it goes to her daughters..

But no one sure told me that when I was bulldozing brush, building ponds and cleaning up these past 25 years.

The only way I can even describe my feelings is just imagine you paid child support for 20 years, only to be told in the end the child wasn't yours at all.

Very sick today.. But at least I now know the truth.

I will pray about it and I know God will give the right answers..

Just posting because I just need someone to talk to.. I know the OT is the right place for that.




Just so you know you're not alone.

TLDR: my wife and her brothers are 1 generation removed from 300+ acres of prime central Texas land. Not only is the land sold, every dollar now effectively belongs to their stepmom.

Toyota Sienna or Honda Odyssey. You can thank me later.


It was a summer Friday in 2024 when I departed my house to acquire a new Ford Expedition Max.

Approximately 10 hours later I arrived home to my family in a new Honda Odyssey Touring.

With 25000 miles on it now we couldn't be happier, and it's paid off.

What’s hard to understand that people want to care for their loved ones if they have the opportunity/money to do so upon their death. If you had the spare cash to ensure all your relatives would be well off if you happened to die - would you not?


No. Not at all. I want to only provide for the people who rely on me. Which in my case is my wife and kids.

If my parents depended on me financially then sure, but the only people who depend on me financially are my wife and kids.
No offense but why are you worried about taking care of your parents if you kick the bucket?

Yes, I have a large policy, my wife is the beneficiary, she stays home with our 3 kids. She will need it if I'm gone.
I also have the black dial BB Pro and love it, though it's remained in the box since the Pelagos Ultra joined the family. Jury is still out if it remains in the collection long term, though it has been around for 3 years.

Today is the 226570 Polar.

50% of men 5 feet tall are gay?

That's very short, so probably a small sample set, but that seems unbelievable.

The way in which most American men leave the house today, and I feel as if I’m being more than generous.


Have you been to an airport recently?

You're being unrealisticly generous.
Listen to the reporting in that video and it's hard to believe it was just 20 years ago.

They mention a machine gun, and someone's says there's absolutely no truth to that.

They mention a name, and they jump on that and say he hasn't been identified yet so they shouldn't name names.

How far has news coverage fallen.

Random thread with a random bump.

Pelagos Ultra. Tudor dropped a new black bay chrono 39 in a bumblebee yellow today. I want to see it in person, but I'm sure it'll end up in the watch box this year.

Yikes. I get irrationally angry at $6/pint.
Reading children's books.

I'm dyslexic and have a touch of autism, and my young children start crying the moment I walk in to read a book. It's mom or nothing.

Not even a question.
Direct to consumer brands serve a purpose if you're willing to turn a wrench on it from time to time.

My Obed Boundary has over 6,000 miles in less than 3 years and has been a great bike that does everything I need it to.
