    I’ve had this baby for 15+ years and have only changed out the leather strap once. Wife gave it to me but I’m thinking around $325 circa 2010? I see now they’re over $500. Excellent timepiece:

    That's my daily during the work week.  I'm realizing my original brown strap is going to need replacing soon.  I've seen this Khaki put on the same leather strap but in black with the cream stitching.  I think it looks sharp that way, so may try that next.

    What’s wrong with normal-sized helmet logos?  These look ok but the over-sized helmet logo ruins it for me 

    I see now that those are just eagle wings and not a big logo. So they’re just doing the Oregon wing look. Meh.

  4. Thanks. Didn’t do my usual pregame prep, too distracted watching Texas baseball last night so missed Driussi injury news. When I finally watched later on Apple I noticed after a few minutes of sucky play by Austin FC that he was missing.

    Singlehandedly torching his pro prospects

    I know Ewers only had one interception before this game, but he was dangerously close to throwing plenty others, making questionable throws. To me he was lucky to not have thrown four or five before this game. 

  6. Just saw Tears For Fears at Moody.  Bought tickets last minute and was glad I went.  Roland and Curt sounded great and can still carry their vocals 35 years after their MTV prime.  I always have that concern when I see nostalgia acts-- that a singer's voice will have deteriorated so much that the band will have to do their songs in different keys, or add a bunch of backing vocals or effects, and the songs just won't come off with the same energy as the original.  Wasn't the case with the show tonight.  I enjoyed the songs from the new album, too.

    I'm cool with that, kids won't be.  I think we're gonna do the bike/truck cheat code.  They need to get used to this shit because Texas is only getting hotter despite us all lying to ourselves about it.  They can make it an hour, we'll bring a picnic.  I just wish they'd do May/June shows again next year.  

    We won some tickets to some show next month at the outdoor Moody amphitheater at Waterloo Greenway.  Starts later and sun will be set at that hour by mid-August.  And we've got a better parking spot across the street.  Whew.  I remember when my biggest worry was losing your kid at a concert.  Now it's heat-stroke.  

    Ah well, getting tickets for Duran Duran the weekend of the Kansas football game at Moody.  Will be first time seeing a big concert there.  Going sober with a drunken Catholic Priest who's a big Jayhawk and 80's dance music fan.  I think we really are in a simulation.  

    I think that show was last month at Moody.

  8. M83 at Stubb's was cancelled last night.  Band came on a little after 9:00.  Played instrumental intro song, Anthony Gonzalez then came out, sang one line on the second song, suddenly unstrapped his guitar and set it on the ground, and walked off stage.  The band continued the instrumental part of the second song, then walked off themselves.  I was standing near the sound board, watching the sound engineer, who seemed to be in a panic, so I figured there were sound problems.  About 20 minutes later, someone walked on stage and said show was cancelled due to bandmember illness.  It was a pretty strange string of events.  All the concerts I've been to over the years, I don't think I've ever seen anything like that.  Disappointed the show didn't happen as I was really looking forward to a fun Friday night show from a favorite band, but certainly hope Anthony Gonzalez is OK.
