    Couple for gardening, camping, nights on the town etc added this week

    Seiko is from 1984. Wrist shot in WRUW.

    Mudman G-Shock was my first ever charity shop find. Still had to cough up $30 but it's for a good local charity.
    Still managed to dither for two days :rolleyes:
    Saw it on first visit.
    Wandered off and did my phone/internet research :cautious: but got it wrong and was looking up the Solar powered Mudman ::shy::
    Went back and realised my mistake.
    Went home to sleep on it and did more internet (WUS :whistling:) research and found out it's nicknamed 'the Stormtrooper' and that several people had ordered sight unseen based on the nickname and were shocked/disappointed with the colour when it arrived. :p
    I don't see the Star Wars connection myself. Some have even compared it to the Millennium Falcon ::facepalm1::
    To me it just speaks to my Walter Mitty desert warfare fantasies. ;)

    Went back on day two and asked to have a look at it.
    Couldn't get the Dual Illuminator to work but decided I had so much time invested in it that I'd take it anyway ::screwloose::

    Took it home and washed off all the genuine Mudman mud ::puke::.
    Luckily there are youtube videos showing how to hold it under a warm running tap and add handsoap. ::popcorn::

    Spent the rest of the day searching for instructions and others who might have had the light failure as well.
    It was looking like I might have to dismantle it, watch out for some flying springs and then bend some switch contacts.
    Fortunately a car forum came to the rescue - Pistonheads 1 :thumbsup: v WUS 0 :thumbsdown:
    and I found out that the light button only works in lowlight conditions. Who'd have thunk it? :taunt:

    Well, when you buy a lot of straps you need some good buckles. Thanks to @FullyWound. Check out his site under similar naming convention in the UK. Solid fella!
