Not only did the letter say no go, but it was a carefully crafted and well thought out middle finger. Basically said he should be embarrassed for even asking.

Read them in order. May seem dated a little bit with change in geopolitics, but they are all good reads. Cardinal is probably my favorite in the Jack Ryan universe. It's been a lot of years though since I read them. Good memories.

Always a red flag of some insecurities incoming when you see the honorific titular prefix Dr. and the letters denoting the professional degree after. One or the other or you are hiding something.

awful...wonder which base, only two Minot or BAFB. Sad, my wife and I both know a ton of those families through our medical practices. Sorry to hear. Lots of young families with lots of young kids.

Djokovic is gonna have probably his last best shot for 25 at Wimbledon with Alcaraz out. We will see what kind of head space Sinner is coming back from RG. Ironically, the early round loss might well help him, at least from a purely physical standpoint. There is a reason why the Channel Slam has historically been difficult to achieve, though adding the extra week in between probably made it a tad less difficult.

not a big two tone guy though I do have a neo vintage 16233 with the champagne dial.

Going with this one today, good Sunday watch.

Cobolli coming back, third set going to be crucial.

And Z looking like his usual big game self in the second with the double fault and FH errors. Both guys best chance perhaps ever to win a major, maybe Cobolli's only chance.

16610 - Sub Date...the one that started my obsession back in 1989.

Daughter (no pics) moved into a new house, has an antique round table that has decorative wooden balls as feet attached to the legs. One of the balls was broken off in the move - its evident from the pics that ith has been jury rigged in the past as a quick fix. I'm not cheap, would be happy to pay a pro (or for her to pay a pro), but we live in a different city, so don't even know where to start with reputable shops. Daughter is a busy professional. Either taking it to a shop or coordinating with someone to come get it is difficult.

I think the solution to the problem is sand off the old glue where the ball is broken, drill a hole in the ball, and insert some type of threaded rod, and screw in a matching threaded insert into the table leg so it can be screwed back on securely.

I"m handy, but not a wood worker. There may be some specific set of screw or screws that fits this application, but google gave me way too many choices and I'd like to home in on something that is the actual right bit for the job. Any recs would be much appreciated.
