Game 7 of the 2016 World Series broke the space-time continuum.

Maybe this game 7 is resetting it.

My husband’s name is Josh Johnson and one time some guy tagged him instead of comedian Josh Johnson. And when my husband tried to correct him, he thought he was doing a bit, lol. Yes, even though his profile picture clearly shows he’s white.

I, on the other hand, will never have this problem.
TDS's @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social got mixed up with NFL quarterback Josh Johnson in the worst way possible #AfterTheCut

We just impulsively went to Seattle earlier this year. Realized we would be there for Opening Day, got tix to Mariners, a team we’ve never paid attention to. And now we’ve stayed up cheering for them through 15 innings.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Museum has an exhibit on the moral panic over rock and roll and pop music over the decades.

Politicians and other public figures have often tried to use their power to silence voices and maintain oppression. (cont'd)

Last weekend we walked around Downtown Cary Park in Cary, NC—this structure, L'ile Folie by Marc Fornes, found all sorts of great light. #photography #northcarolina

I finished this watch service, really happy with it. I also wrote a post about the experiences with it! jnjosh.com/posts/elgin-...

Tonight on the vintage Elgin watch project I cleaned all the parts—a very slow process with my small ultrasonic. The parts look great and all the gunk is gone. Next up, installing a new mainspring. #watchmaking

Bought a replacement shock spring (tiny brass piece over the jewel) to replace the one I lost in my practice movement. Well, it didn’t fit but I got a lot of practice working with it. It’s so tricky because it’s super tiny and very springy. 2nd photo is this to scale with an SD card. #watchmaking

Tonight on my Elgin vintage watch project I inspected all the parts to make sure I didn’t need any replacements and got everything ready for cleaning.

Sneak preview of my now 3rd watch project in progress 🙃😂

Started my next project tonight, the vintage Elgin with the linen dial. New challenge this time is calendar works, I took careful photos at each step so hopefully I can get it back together 😬. Looks like someone tried to service this before, it’s covered in oil and grime. #watchmaking

I did it! My first restored watch is completed! It only took me a month and 3 tries! #watchmaking

Nat had an idea that our Christmas day activity should be to spend the day building a watch. My watch components arrived already, so now I just have to hide it so I don’t build it!

Third time completely tearing this down, cleaning it, and reassembling. Before I cased it I had it running nicely at around -5/+10 seconds a day... but then in the case it lost any accuracy. Ahhhh. Going to take a break on this watch and come back after I learn more. #watchmaking

Finding watches to fix/service on eBay is too easy, I’ve somehow given myself a backlog. But hey the next next project is here, this Breil! The movement is soooo tiny. Like maybe the size of a nickel.

We found some vintage clocks and now it sounds like the beginning of “Back to the Future” in my office.

I just started this watchmaking hobby and already have 3 active projects 🙃🤣

I bought a watch on eBay to restore but they couldn’t remove the case to show the movement. I got lucky, the movement looks really nice.
