Like another reviewer said; this watch is not designed for water sports. I took this on the lake and water got under the glass (SA fixed this).
I commute by bike in cold Michigan winters and the temperature fluctuation resulted in some fog under the glass (SA fixed this too).
Lastly, I bought a new cloth strap from SA and now I love it. I have had this watch for several years now.

Communal Fruit Bowl

A few weeks ago my friend shared a Planet Green article about starting a communal fruit bowl at work. It is incredible how much coffee we consume during a workday, so I thought a bowl of fruit may offer a much healthier distraction. There is nothing like a crisp apple.
I brought up this idea at work and one of my co-workers offered to let me use his wood shop for making a bowl.

The fruit bowl is a big hit and this is how I made it.



After a piece of walnut was cut in half and we put the two pieces through the planer.


Jon getting me comfortable with the table saw


All these pieces were cut at a 60 degree angle.


At the end of Day-1. Check out my face guard. ROCK!


All the pieces glued together

After a half hour on the lathe, the bowl started taking shape


FRUIT BOWL!
