    I've been working out and running a coupel times a week each, and I've been enjoying. Feeling great, feeling nimble, and feeling strong. I watch a lot of youtube fitness channels: TMW (hodgetwins), Elliot Hulse (StrengthCamp), a little PoG, Mike Chang, and CT Fletcher. Nice motivation, and gives good ideas for options during training. Functional strength has been my focus (exercises that let the body work in unison).

    We've made a few GALLONS of homemade tomato sauce...

    Now at an apple orchard...picking your own apples, kinda Zen.

    Sounds like a tasty recipe, BalticSailor. I've already made fresh-frozen salsa, diced bits, and prepared sauces. Given quite a bit to neighbors/friends. I'm amazed by the continuing dangling, ripening tomato clusters yet to pick and use...from just two original tomato plants!

    Well, picking my own apples at the pace I wanted and it was quiet...the kids were with Better Half on the other side of the orchard picking raspberries.

    Picking weeds on a carrot field that doesn't use herbicides. Could be worse, my sister's boyfriend has literally shoveled a pile of shit once!

    I've shoveled shit before, I worked as a stablehand at a barn before.

    Picking carrots sounds worse to me.

    Haha, yay dirty diapers

    I have to say that, in my opinion, vomit is worse, though.

    Especially when it begins to dry and creates those brown flaky circles.

    What the hell, how much would it cost for you to put something like that together?

    Affordability is relative, but I think it's a steal for $450. It's sterling silver, with gold plating.

    Was this a Bitter Jeweler original?

    It's possible. But probably not affordable.

    The engineer in me disagrees, the wheels are curved, you won't be able to make them turning and keep the ring round at the same time.

    Indeed. The engineer in me would adapt the design to make it work within the physical limitations.
    Exact ring? No. Similar ring with desired movement? Absolutely.

    If you just keep the size of the smaller golden ones, that would of course be cool! And the next step would be a working mechanical watch as a finger ring

    Yes. I'm working on a series based on it.
