Absolutely loving this thread; and wowed by your energy. I feel like a bum working from home.

Seriously - THIS IS EXACTLY what this forum should be about, and less about incomings, and 'watch investment' questions...

Gotta love the Ritz-Carlton; fortunate they offer military discounts


Little touches like below, where they match the painting in reality. Unfortunately they have to keep replenishing as I eat the apples.

For many of us stuck at home, thank you for this great photo diary. I've been wearing the same watch and tempted to do a similar photo diary but it would be of my kitchen, bathroom, screaming kids, and basement (where I hide). Safe travels!

New Kermit making first trip ... San Diego, NY, DC, Abu Dhabi

Not to offend with bathroom photos, but ... thought I’d share some of the nighttime ritual cleanup after a sweaty day in DC.

Suds up


Rinse off


And towel off


No (Richard Prafit advised) Perrier sparkling mineral water, plant-based soap or new CK tee shirts required. After all, this is a Submariner!

Flights delays due to “Ground Hold” at JFK due to thunderstorms. This is bad news because it means we won’t make our connection to Abu Dhabi, but our bags are already on the plane, so we must take the original flight and then figure out how we’re going to get to the UAE once we land.

Meanwhile, at least we were able to enjoy the Delta Sky Club.

+1 for really great thread. Enjoy your travels and glad you made it to my hometown of DC. It’s been toasty though - oof!

The Kermit looks great. I’m own and love the Hulk but the Kermit is really growing on me too.

Update - my flight to JFK delayed by weather in NYC, so as a result, I won’t make my connection. They only fly late hours, so leaving tomorrow doesn’t get us there on time, so we may not be able to go at all. Business in the Gulf region is Sunday-Thursday (when we were supposed to meet them), so I don’t now know what’s going to happen, but what a mess. Stressing ... this is not an insignificant trip.

Landed JFK, but had to burn fuel at DCA, then delayed on runway JFK, so no we won’t make it.
