While I have been singing the praises of the VC Overseas, I have now become very frustrated with it. It was purchased Oct 1 last year, and I just today sent it back in for its second service for the same issue. The minute hand keeps getting stuck at 11:43am and won't budge off of it. Fortunately the VC Boutique has been accommodating. They want to look at it closely this time and see if it's just a minor fix or if the entire movement has to be replaced. And they did confirm that if they repair it and it happens again, they will replace the watch or movement.
Bummer. I haven't had any issues with mine, and I am pretty hard on it, wear it basically to do anything.
The upside is they will be very accommodating as you note.

Northern Italian food can mean loooots of things
True. Piedmontese and Lombardia and the emphasis on risotto over pasta is mainly what I'm referring to. Cotoletta all milanese and saffron risotto is manna from heaven. Osso Buco, just let me roll around in it like a dog in poop. Cook everything in butter.
Damn I'm hungry now.

Took my dad here when he came to visit about a month ago. He really enjoyed it and it was cool to see all of the old steam train engines they have in there too.
The other car museum I've been to up here is the Cussler Museum in Arvada. They display a rotating selection of around 70 cars from Clive Cussler's collection. Really cool, especially if you enjoy his books. The collection is split up in two rooms with prewar cars in one and post war through the 60's in the other. The main downside is it is only open on weekdays during the summer. I'll try to dig up some pictures from the last time I was there.
Cussler has some phenomenal cars.
I enjoyed the Petersen museum in LA also.

i regularly keep like 50 tabs open between chrome and firefox and don't experience these computer slowdowns. browsers and operating systems automatically unload unused tabs from main memory when the memory gets needed by something. y'all probably just have slow computers.

The whole bottom bracket confusion just flat out sucks.
I will give my feelings on the press fit BB at a later date. After doing some research, the BB i settled on was this Praxis Works one: https://praxiscycles.com/product/m30-conv-bb30-pf30/
It's what that Fuji comes with normally and since I am going with all Shimano, that seems to be a good starting point.
Wheels are scheduled for Friday, I should have the rest of the bike put together by then.
So far: new stem on, new handlebars on, new shifters temp mounted, started running cables.
Next up - finish running the cables, and mount the brakes and rear mech.
Once the cables are mounted, put the new BB in too (I can access the lower internal routing cable holes while the BB is out), cranks and front mech. Then tune it up.

My hats off. I wouldn't want to undertake that whatsoever
