with another Seiko Perpetual 196kHz 8F32 HAQ. Seiko created the 196kHz Perpetual line in 1999. This one was made 19 years ago in November 2001. This one is still on its 2nd 10-yr battery with only one change since new. The unmatched battery longevity is paired with its perpetual movement which includes leap-years. No resetting the date. It has a 2-second tick battery life warning that allows replacing it without having to reprogram date, month and leap-year if you do so before it drains out completely. As is readily obvious, I've got several of these perpetuals. They're a quick and convenient go-to when I don't want to - or don't have time to fuss with winding, time setting, etc. In another note . . . The cat has been rapidly improving and she's gaining some strength back. Been putting the regular food up to force a couple modest jumps to get to it. We go to the vet again today for a follow-up which will include doing a white count to see if her anemia is improving. Given what she's doing now around the house with improved perkiness and interactive behavior, it's hard to imagine that it's not. Still giving wide berth to the big male.  |

Looks like we're getting a bit of a reprieve in the weather, so one more crack at summer for me...  |

Managed to get to 30 this morning, supposed to head up into the 40s today. Only got about an inch of snow, all on the cars and grassy areas, streets were too warm for it to stick there. It IS still Summer isn't it? Hemel 24 for me today.  |

Those seem like amazing watches. Glad your cat is doing better!  My comments on your GMT from yesterday made me decide on the Certina DS Action GMT Powermatic 80. This is an awesome watch!  |

Definitely cold enough to bring out this Pireli by Philip Watch and it's extra-thick leather strap.  |
