Congrats Alex 

G, I like Seuls idea.

I think G's list of "Things I'd rather do than hire Seul" would start with "Eat all my boots Herzog Style"…

I'd move to Gosport next week if I were allowed to leave once a year to go see Phish concerts.

You and me both.  Well maybe minus the Phish, although I've yet to experience them live…

I think my leave would have to be to New Orleans for Jazz Fest

Then you haven't experienced them

It'll happen one of these days

[seawolf]

I truly hope so! Fantastic people watching at the very least.

Y'all look like the class of the division after last night's train wreck!

[Jii]

Taking my 634's back to their birthplace today. I really don't know yet if I'll have the time to visit The Works in Hachioji since I'm only staying in Tokyo for 2+3 nights and there's so much I haven't seen there yet but I'll see what I can do. Gonna travel around Honshu and Kyushu (and hopefully Shikoku as well) for two weeks. Soooooooo excited!

Today I get my first pair of Vibergs, which are more likely to fit than what I was sized and ordered thanks to a stunning act of generosity by Giles, allowing me to trade out my E for a D. I didn't ask for this, he volunteered. What a great dude, thanks again man.

Also today, I receive my ZeeBee Leather belt, which some of you have seen pictures of in the ZeeBee thread. Obviously, I am very excited about that as well.

[Giles]

Thank you.  But generous it was not.  Getting it right (& I sincerely hope we do) first time is a lot less hassle, expense and disappointment for all of us….

[mclaincausey]

Well then, the enlightened self-interest is appreciated nonetheless

I am beltless today in anticipation of the ZeeBee, and I feel naked.

[Seul]

I can not go without a belt during the day… It's like wearing boots without laces...

[mclaincausey]

Fortunately, I have one at the office I've put on.  But then I fucking remembered I had him send it to my house anyway 

[Seul]

Poor lad!..

Will a wash soften up the 666-XHS a bit. Straight out the box they are too tough.

I don't have experience with 25 oz but I would guess a wash would soften it up a little.

On an unrelated note, I managed to stretch out the sleeve openings on my type 3 through the use of some graduated glass cups and a little elbow grease….and I'm crazy stoked. The fact that the sleeves were almost cutting off circulation was the only thing I didn't like but now they're perfect
