69F out this morning. 21C, that's the coldest air we've had for 6 months. Feels kind of cool. Might need a sweat shirt.

So far...the "Seasonal Change" has caused a lot of Sinus issues and headaches but I have been taking Allegra-D and extra pills of Walgreen's generic(WAL-PHED), Pseudoephedrine.....and so far, so good!!!

I know I need to do this but it's time for me to get my Flu Shot.....Yuck!!!

And even tho the weather has been sunny and low 70F's during the early afternoon.....as soon as Dusk sets in(Night Time the Temp. has been steadily dropping to mid-40F's) I become cold with my fingers and toes tingling and some numbness follows.....Oh well!!! Let the "White Stuff" begin to fall.........

I have one with a small clip to put it on my glasses as well as one with a metal wire to go around my head, however, this one is made out of plastic.

Glad to know you had a great time at Nomos.
Yep a wooden loupe, they have a 3.5x magnification loupe and a 5.5x.

They also ship to Canada

I will shoot some pictures when I get mine.

You expect us to go hunting round the forum looking for clues, do I look like Sherlock Holmes?

Haha, nice pickup Carl, seen your thread in the AP forum. Congrats. Can't believe how thin it is, does it keep good time?

Thank you so much guys!

The watch keeps great time but a service is definitely in order, it stops every now and then, methinks the gear train lacks power! Nothing too bad as it starts as soon as I move it but I think the balance wheel may not have a good amplitude because of that, it probably needs a cleaning and new oils.

Next week it should work perfectly but meanwhile it's pretty accurate I must say.

Sheesh, shall I ask the moderators to change this thread's title to "Girls GhostTown Talk"?

I hope you're all having a great weekend.

Just heard on the news that apparently the UK has been literally invaded by Steatoda Grossa's, also known as fake black widows.

Are you scared Wes? Make sure you don't bother one whilst going through your LEGO box...
