I didn’t get one yet…I was in line on Saturday morning, but alas they only had a few units for sale.  But I’ll keep checking in and eventually try to snag the Mission to the Moon and Mars versions. Kinda cool and exciting that Omega and Swatch did this wild collaboration…it actually makes sense. I’ve always liked Chronograph’s and someday do want to own the original Omega Speedmaster Professional…this Swatch version would be a fun daily wearer.   Update - 4/20/22 I'm hearing word that some of the watches bleed ink and saw a video for the blue Neptune claiming to show the blue dye left a stain on a person's wrist.  Hopefully, this is limited to specific colorways and doesn't impact the red Mars or gray Moon that I'm waiting to acquire.    

I kinda liked logging my car maintenance and gas fill up’s when I owned the Lexus and will do the same with the Camry. Jan 2022 - $900 - 90k Service I like to do preventive maintenance so I paid $900 to do whatever was needed. 3/8/22 - 27.7 mpg 9.8 gallons on 271 miles.  Did a partial fill-up as prices are going up daily and have easily gone up a $1 in just a few days! Had I filled up a few days earlier I would have saved $8 on 10 gallons of gas. 3/13/22 - 31.4 mpg 9.45 gallons on 297 miles.  Did a 260 mile road trip on the weekend.  Most of it was highway miles so was expecting better gas mileage. 3/23/22 - 26.8 mpg 8.2 gallons on 220 miles.  At this pace I’m using a full tank every 10-20 days or about 15 days.  At that pace I need to fill-up 24 times a year. That’s 408 gallons of gas (17 gallons x 24).  At $5 a gallon that’s $2,040/year or $170/month on fuel cost. To save some money, I’m gonna cut that down by 25% to 306 gallons or 18 tanks.  That’ll save me $510/yr. It’s feasibl
