In 2004 I went to Willie Nelson’s 4th of July Picnic and the headliners along with Willie were The Dead and Toby Keith and let me tell you Deadheads and Toby Keith fans were not getting along in 2004.

Also this sticker from my friend's band old band 1000 Damed Guns that lives on one of my Pelican cases. It's beat to poo poo because it's on the bottom side.

Really heavy drinker, from what I recall from a friend of mine who used to insure him through Lloyds of London. (Drew Bledsoe, too, raging alcoholic, to keep things in a football context.)

Liver disease is a nasty beast when the complications start happening, and stomach cancer is a fairly common one.

Yeah for me it’s a Seamaster, but I have the same hang up where I can’t justify that huge of an expense for a watch.

I also drool over some of the more expensive Seiko reissues, but again :homebrew:

The nicest watch I own is a Seiko automatic SARB033. It's a nice steel watch that I go through spurts of wearing -- I have a garmin digital watch/fitness tracker that I also like to wear. I need to get the Seiko serviced as it will gain ~2 minutes a day when I'm wearing it regularly and it has it's reserve largely full.

I have a few quartz gshocks I also quite like and will rotate through.

He's a country music star. Those are practically bullet points on a resume.

Chopper pilot, Ranger, Rhodes Scholar, won practically every award related to country music and worked with practically every legend alive in his timeframe.

Messy domestic life doesn't take away from that.

Rita Coolidge's life would make an unrealistic country song. You'd think it was a parody.

- Eric Clapton took the part she wrote for "Layla" and gave her zero credit
- Broke up Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young
- Got the poo poo beat out of her by Jim Gordon (drummer for Clapton), who later killed his mother
- Several miscarriages with Kristofferson, and emotional abuse tangled with his jealousy over any success she had
- married a Japanese computer scientist who got felony charges for industrial espionage
- Formed a singing group with her sister and wrote songs in Cherokee (which they claimed heritage from)
- The Cherokee tribe said "uh we don't know these white girls"
- same sister was killed by husband in a murder-suicide
- the funeral home hosed up and sent her the husband's ashes by mistake

I could ostensibly buy a Rolex but had the realization probably 5 years ago it will never make sense to own one and I'm ok with that. For now, this Seiko is a very nice watch and likely the nicest I'll own and I'm ok with that.

The submariner's and datejusts are gorgeous time pieces that are incredibly well built, just not for me, at least for the near future.

Oh yeah I don’t think that seiko is the pinnacle of watch design or anything, but lovely cheaper watches that just Do The Job are my jam. Seiko and citizen (and Casio, honestly) are really loving good at it too.

As someone quite familiar with the contracts from major underwriters in the Lloyd's market, very cool of your buddy to openly share pretty private info! If ever caught, they'd absolutely massacre him for being such a putz.
