21ib, uhf, 362, perfect for todays weather

888SBG and Mad Red Motherfucker went for a ride today. X-post.

Been a while since I had the ducks out. With the double cloth sawtooth and some blacksmiths

Look who decided to show up!

14oz and 16oz sbg

My new 92 and some sbgeez

888 21 and 33 black

Been a while! Got some lightly used red wing 2953s I wanted to show off. Here with my 888s-21, the 9oz indigo/green flannel work shirt and the green serge CPO I forgot the numbers to.

21oz update. 21ib, sbg, 21 indigo. All 151 wears and 4 light washes

I love the tonal arcs! I wish more had em

@SKT yeah I’m really glad at least one of the BT faves became readily available again. I think the whiskey boom has slowed a bit. It did its damage on prices tho

@Matt dude it was goodgood. Movie of the year for me. Just watched it, beautifully engaging.

Guillermo did it as it should be done . While watching, I saw so many Death Stranding winks. I hadn’t realized how much influence he had on Hideo games, but the connection became so much clearer seeing this.

My favorite fade patterns of all my IH, the 21ib.

My buddy got me some of the Luxardo cherries and I had to try them right away lol
Holy shit what a difference. I never thought I could justify the price but now idk if I can go back.

@Matt lmao idk who even that is but you had me rollin with the Mickey rourke reference

WOW thats way more even than I would have thought

@mclaincausey dude thats crazy detailed. Good analysis! There were a few surprises in the data but generally it confirmed a lot of the preconceptions I had about most of these guys. I think you did a great job with your methodology, controls, and balancing factors, etc. The only way we could really know for sure is by giving them all spec'ed cars, but that would take the fun out of it!
My buddies have all talked about how it'd be cool to have all the F1 drivers do a race or two in identical cars each year for bragging rights, but I think the closest we'll get to that was the Lego race.
Thanks for sharing your research!

We have a whiteboard at work where we make fun of language errors. one of the entries:

Dilated

Dialated

Die elated

@mclaincausey You mentioned the model but if you shared it I must've missed it. It'd be cool to see the data. All that sounds very legit.

I still think McLaren just happened to get lucky with their windfall of car performance and the whole team still doesn't quite know what to do with it. I kinda doubt they'll be fortunate enough to carry it into 2026 regs.

It is sad to see the decline of Lewis, that's bound to happen when people stay in long enough, like any sport. Its rare to see people get out at their peak, and the drop is inevitable. I just wish he was having as much fun as Alonso seems to have in the late stages of his career.
