Equality Will Have To Wait. Again.
Once again, the local softball league never fails to fail when it comes to doing even the bare minimum to support gender equality in the male-dominated sport of mixed softball.
New Addition: Bianchi ML3 Alloy
When a Bianchi comes up for sale, I pay attention. I think we all have certain bike brands we mindlessly search for, “just in case” something pops up, and for me that’s Bianchi. I didn’t know much about this specific model, but a mid-00s fat-tubed aluminum Bianchi has a “high floor”, meaning it’s gonna be
End-Of-Year ’23: What’s New In The Box?
The short answer to “what’s new in the watch box” for 2023: not much. In fact, the both G-SHOCK Mudmasters (the GWG-100 and GG-1000) were sold, and so was the ProTrek PRW2500-1, because when you have a GW-9400 Rangeman, you don’t need another option for trekking. I spent more time & effort during the past
Made in Holland! 1960 “Nostalgie 1908” Dutch Bike, Refreshed
With this being my first dutch bike, I enter into a world of ultimate practicality, in what seems to be at the expense of weight and user-friendliness. There is nothing about this bike that is “quick release”: everything requires a lot of tools and some time to fix, at least when compared to a modern
What is “Refreshing” a Bike: A Quick Explainer.
What is a typical “refresh” on a bike, that I perform? First, I start taking the bike apart, “stripping” it, always with an eye on what’s missing, what’s broken and needs replacing, versus broken and needs fixing, and of course what is just fine the way it is. “If it ain’t broke…” Specific problem areas
Why Am I So Impolite?
Let’s get one thing straight: I’m not your friend.
“It Was The Best Of Displays, It Was The Worst of Displays”
On one extreme is the smallest digital display of any G-SHOCK, and on the other is arguably the best display of any G-SHOCK; and I love them both. The DW-5900-1 is a classic, a re-issue of the DW-5900C originally released in 1992 and made popular as the “Walter”, worn by John Goodman in “The Big
Official Statement
Statement of John Edwards Regarding the Nomination, Rejection, and Nomination of Aidan Halpin for the 2024 Softball Leinster Committee The last time we were here, a motion of “no confidence” was submitted, and voted on, which resulted in the rejection of Aidan Halpin’s nomination for committee chair. The reasons for this motion were ridiculous: because
1979 Motobécane Mixte, Refreshed [SOLD]
When a nice little bike ends up available to you, that you can save from the skip, you don’t ask too many questions. As the saying goes, “don’t look a gift horse in the mouth.” It needed a bit of work, but I had the tools, ability, and time — a perfect match! The guy
A 1000m Diver? The Addiesdive MY-H6 “Puck” Homage is a Winner.
I barely get my head wet on the rare occasion I go swimming. What in the hell am I gonna do with a 1000m dive watch, when I rarely exceed 1m? I do love myself a good homage, and the Addiesdive MY-H6, an homage to the Halios “Puck”, is one of the best out there.
