Another personal collection – pencils and pens well suited for technical writing.
I had to re-arrange things this morning to make room for the Partagas I got the other day. I managed to get everything in the humidor.
In a separate plastic jar I keep my other, non-Cuban, cigars. I made the move to Cubans awhile back and pretty much just smoke them now.
I generally like a smaller smoke vs the big boys. At this point I don’t have any room for more which is fine as I can pause the spending.
These Partagas Shorts showed up in mail today from ihavanas.com.
Sort of mild-medium flavor with toasted notes. Nice.
Back in April I ordered a box of these from Cigars Of Habanos. They showed up in mail today.
First smoke is solid. It is mild and nutty. Burns fine. The box is dated April 2019.
Incidentally I’m pairing with Deschutes Neon Daydrem Hazy Ale. Works together nicely.
Happy Father’s Day Weekend!
I got this a while back. It is a Spyderco Delica sprint run for Fradon Lock.
It has carbon fiber scales and a laminated blade with SUS410 sandwiching HAP40.
Nice knife – light, sharp, and unique.
Back in December it was my 40th birthday.
Being a watch fan, I picked out a nice example and suggested to wife as a great gift idea. Fast forward several months the watch never came to fruition. There was much wasted time but at least all money was recovered.
So in early June, I started looking for a different watch gift idea. I found it in the Sinn 856 UTC. Hopefully next week or the week after I will receive and begin to enjoy it.
The image above shows a rubber bracelet. Mine is coming in the steel bracelet. I additionally ordered a Sinn Black Leather band to go with it. I don’t like normal buckle-style clasps but instead prefer deployment-style clasps.
In the U.S.A., Sinn’s only authorized dealer is WatchBuys. Unfortunately, the Sinn deployment clasp that matches the watch’s style is out of stock. I found a nice alternative on eBay for $18. The Sinn clasp is $90 for no reason I can imagine. WatchBuys does give you “points” for purchases so if I chose to get the Sinn clasp when it’s back in stock I’ll have a $40 credit to leverage.
I’m excited. Hopefully I’ll have a follow-up post soon with some images of my watch.
Update. Check out my baby!
I am cheating quite a bit. I use AWS Lightsail and I use the bitnami WordPress setup. From there I setup Route53 and run various configuration changes. The image already has letsencrypt so with a couple commands TLS is enabled.
So this is the first and hopefully worst entry as I try to get all working wonderfully!
