As you may have noticed, we we're offline this morning. This was caused by the "Thanks" plug-in going rogue and using up way too many server resources. This triggered an automatic suspension by our hosting provider as they thought it was a malicious attack. The "Thanks" plug-in has been disabled, hopefully temporarily so I can determine if that was indeed the cause, and take steps to prevent it from happening in the future.
I apologize for the disruption and for any confusion that may have caused.

Re: WRUW
This is a Forstner band that is a "reissue" of a JB Champion bracelet that seems to have ended up on a lot of NASA Speedmasters in the 1960's though at least the early to mid 1980's.

My wife gave this to me for Father's Day and it just arrived yesterday afternoon. I wanted to try it out on a couple of different watches, and so far I could not be happier. It has the cool retro look going on, it is widely adjustable in extremely small increments and so far and it feels great. I wanted to try it on some other watches because I do have some concern that it may scratch the inside of lugs.
Here are some cool photos:
Neil Armstrong
Apollo 8 crew
John Young training prior to the first Space Shuttle launch

Nope, that's all me. I also ate one of my daughter's flautas and half my son's quesadilla.Split-Time wrote: ↑Thu Jun 25, 2020 9:31 pmI hope you brought someone with you...or have you doubled up on the Tower of Burritos? Looks great!
Pretty much! Giant Super Burrito... Carnitas, pinto beans, rice, avocado, pico de gallo, cheese. I always eat the whole thing and regret it.
