Re: Watches, watches, watches (caution: modem burner)

Clive, don't think about it just buy it, you will admire the watch every day you wear it. Jaeger-lecoultre are timeless classics.
My last purchase was a Hublot classic fusion chrono with the crocodile strap, love wearing it. Elegant and sporty at the same time.

Re: Zoysia

In the north east, we plant plugs of Zoysia in one foot spacing, Zoysia is such an invasive grass that, in 2-3 years the entire lawn will be Zoysia. I have never seen seed like Sam. The feeding and watering requirements are much different than most other grass. I could not get use to the fact that Z...

Re: Vetiver

Gary, vetiver is one of my favorites when it comes to cologne, presently my top three are, Le Labo, Creed and Guerlain. Guerlain is more crisp in your face scent, Creed is a bit more understated, business meeting, out with the boys scent, and Le Labo is a much softer powder type, think candle lit di...

Re: Kitchen knives

After reading this thread I went out and purchased the Chef's Choice Trizor sharpener, took me about 2 hour to convert our set of Henckels, great recommendation, Thank You. Have been very pleased with the results and my knives are wicked sharp again.

Re: Tulip etc

Clive, where in Myrtle Beach? The wife and I have a place in Calabash just over the boarder in North Carolina, we do 6-10 getaways a year down there. You are going to love it. If you need some restaurant to go to just ask..

Almost forgot, do you play golf?

All of my brushes are badger and have never run into a lather hog. I will say, the synthetics have peaked my interest though.

Re: Knockoff "Taylor Pork Roll"

For many years, my mornings started with a Taylor ham egg and cheese sandwich with a cup of coffee. It is a wonderful taste. Every now and then I will cube it fry it and mix it into some scrambled eggs.

Re: Spare Wheels and Slime

Bryan, most if not all the "fix a flat in a can" products use the same chemicals, I had a can in my wife's car (slime) for peace of mind, she used it one day a few years back, got her home, no muss no fuss, when I took the tire to be patched I was informed it needed to be replaced. The sli...

Re: Spare Wheels and Slime

Chris, as Jim stated it can eat up your wheels, once you use the stuff you will need to replace the tire, the slime puts the wheel out of balance. Great peace of mind if you don't mind replacing a tire that could have been patched or plugged. I carry a tire plug kit with a $20 pump in my cars, you c...

Re: Not a Gentlemanly topic

Jim, that would be one way for it to leak when not glued, I would put a rain cap on the vent, not cap it off completely though.
