You risk warping time 馃槖
I don't know about that...BUT...what I do know is that if I don't put MacGyverette's measuring spoons back where I found them, I risk receiving a serious beat-down. 馃槻

Female IO moth, a little early for Canada 馃槖, but we'll let it go.馃槣

Shucks, these things come down from the Yukon by the thousands in late January, in a bad year they'll eat all of our squirrels and have been known to carry off small dogs!



OR, if you don't like that tail..... Maybe I picked it up on a morning walk in Central Mexico in August. I forget which it is.

On the road, getting an early start with [...choke...] hotel room coffee. This will keep me going long enough to find some real coffee.

I'll be inspecting a leaky dam today, got my Earth Science hat (and watch) on.

The company I work for repairs dams (from small to large). Let us know if we can help out. 馃榾

Not mine, and certainly, not my taste. Bought by a customer of mine while he was on a Carribean cruise! Since he bought it, he has literally haunted me with it! Initially it, it didn't keep time to suit him being about a minute a week or so out. I advised him that it is not a chronometer. Regulating alone would not bring it to a rate that pleased him! So I told him that, in order to give him a better rate, I woul have to go through it for him. I did! I hadn't heard from for about six months, so I assumed he was finally happy with it. Until his phone call on Sunday. He said it now keeps near perfect time, but it keeps stopping on him! He brought it with some other watches he wants done. I asked him about his wearing pattern. He says he wears it all the time! I set it to time on Sunday, strapped it on, and 72 hours later, perfect! I am beginning to wish I had never seen the dam thing! I took my Speedmaster Professional off so I could wear this thing. I hope I will be forgiven!

Pretty watch, not my cup of tea but pretty. I thought once regulated these would be around +/- 5 a day though.

Well, he wasn't happy with ~ one minute per week, before, but he's happy with it now. I haven't checked it's rate, but if he's happy with it, so am I. What I will have to come to terms with is what he means by "wearing it all the time". I've had no complaints from him for 6 months, but now he claims it stops! Maybe he's been laid up, or something! It has functioned without fault now for 72 hours.

As to ~ + or - 5 seconds per day? The crappy regulator on these makes regulating them that close a matter of blind luck. The are NOT a chronometer, after all!
