Normal Goings-on

Purchased this litho as a pre order off the official Sabbath site a few months back which was released to celebrate the Sabotage Super Deluxe box set and it finally arrived today. Was limited to 200 and sold out quick so very happy to have this.

I think I'll work on syncing up my music files across my PCs.

Well I've been putting off cleaning my gutters for a few years now.  This summer I noticed them overflowing during heavy rains, so yesterday I rented a lift-boom just for the day and got to work.  Nice piece of equipment, but it has to be towed into position and set up each time.  I found it much harder to set up than to actually go up and clean.  Needless to say, last night I was pretty tired and sore (the good kind of sore), but got the job done.



My neighbor was checking out the machine and took this shot without my knowledge.  Glad I did this because the gutters were loaded.

Ugh, I'll need to be doing that, as well. Mine are only ground floor, but still. Well, that's motivation for me to do the job, at least!

That lift-boom is pretty cool, I can see where it would require a lot of prep.

Very cool!

Next time you should rent one that has it's own drive motors. It is much easier to maneuver into the right position.

I had one of those so that I could install my tv antenna...but because of my fear of hights I couldn't use it...I got up there alright but I couldn't do anything...

I also need to clean my gutters...thanks for reminding me.

Got some branches that need to go to the curb for bulk trash pickup.

The drivable one was nearly twice the money.  $225 a day for this one, $425 for the other.  I needed the workout anyways.

Yikes! That's a lot of extra price.

I had a loner from a neighbour for no charge...and then he came and installed the antenna too when I couldn't!

Have had my eye on this Nixon Sentry Leather watch since it was released about 3 years ago and finally decided to pull the trigger on it with 30% off

^^^
Is that an "actual" watch or a smart watch?

Isn't a strap that big bit awkward to wear already?

If it's an actual watch I like the very basic design of the face...however I do like my watches to have the date counter as well.

[Jack the Stripper]

It’s a classic watch not a smart watch. You can remove the wider leather strap and wear it as a normal wrist band, it just slips out, but I quite like the wider leather rocker type cuff with the black stainless steel. I’ve always loved white flying V’s too and the bullet points pop on the black, it also has bullet indices and embossed bullet crown. It’s a Metallica Seek & Destroy watch in case you didn’t know. They teamed up with Nixon and put out watch series about 3 years ago. I didn’t want one that said Metallica on the face, a pushead skull or something else that instantly tells you it’s a Metallica watch though, that’s kinda tacky to me.

Dunno, just always liked it since the first time I saw it and would've still bought it whether it was a Metallica watch or not, and Nixon make good quality watches as well.

The Flying V is an awesome second hand.

Meanwhile, bulk trash pickup is next week, moved my trimmed branches to the curb.

Cleaned out a storage unit this past weekend. Threw out stuff that never should have been stored, donated stuff that should have been stored by someone else, took the actual valuables home to where I now have room. Good times.

Another Black Friday Week means a new phone from the sale..

So this year I went with One Plus and the Nord CE 5G.

I'm pretty happy with this. It was pretty cheap (222€ normal price 349€) and compared to the Xiaomi Mi 10 Lite that I had it's quite a bit faster and best of all bit smaller.

The downside is that the camera seems to be bit worse. The pictures tend to turn up pretty grainy and easily out of focus...which is a shame...not that I take a lot of pics but the ones I do I tend to take in a low lighting conditions quite often so it's an issue that I wish I had known...but still I'm pretty happy with it. The screen is miles better...and best of all this should NOT spy for the chinese governement...which was something the Xiaomi could have been programmed to do if they so desired.
