@Aetas it is a retention reservoir to manage storm runoff. It's dry 95% of the time. It's usually only full in late spring if the snow from the mtns thaws too quickly.

Shacket start to the work week.

Rarely am I ready for work
Worked on putting the top case on my bike tonight. Also used the time as an excuse for a tail tidy and new turn indicators.
Always damn frustrating, but also fun to make a bike a bit more individualized.
Now it's time for Zzzzz's as it's just past midnight here.

Finished the St George marathon yesterday. It was a beautiful run through the desert. Time to veg and over eat in comfy clothes.

Road trip back after a short running adventure.
Crazy kids.
Last of the red rock.

I've been thoroughly enjoying the tour shirt. I'm glad it's a bit on the big side so I can rock it as an over shirt 6 days a week.

Thanks guys.
@madmonday, I was about 250lbs on my 30th birthday. I hover around 200 now. Not small, but definitely feel better. I turned 40 this year and believe that I'm in the best shape of my adult life.
Diet and exercise plus a few beers

Friday!
Wife and kiddos are at a local corn maze and then want to meet up at the … mall. Ugh
So I hit the canyon for some 2 wheel therapy.
I feel blessed to be so close to the mountains
Sport mode for the twisties.

The meet up.
Resistance is futile
At least Halloween costumes are all squared away.
At least I get to enjoy a nice nighttime ride back.

All's well that ends well…or at least with yummy Mexican food and wine

Thanks @summ3rhays for the prompt shipment.
Let's get started with some detail shots. I'll be wearing the beast later to the Pearl Jam concert, so no fits yet, as I'm still gym-funky now.
This shirt is made out of a beautiful selvage denim which is reinforced by a selvage hickory stripe-ish fabric.
Here's an interior shot. Notice the reinforced forearms and felled seams. Immaculate. The taping on both cuffs has the self edge of the striped fabric perfectly aligned at the interior edge of the cuff. This kind of attention to detail permeates the garment.
Detail of the aforementioned cuff. Notice that there is shearing as well as darting on the cuff.
Here is a shot of the cuff and selvage gusset.
Here is the back. Right below the top yoke (remember, this is reinforced on the interior with the striped selvage fabric) notice the shearing. The tops of the sleeves also share this shearing. Look at how clean the center seam is. The design, attention to detail, and skill of the construction on this thing are very impressive.
Buttons are chunky MOP, and are beautiful but my camera can't do them justice. If you can't tell, I'm super impressed. Seeing a Schmidt in person is a completely different thing–they look incredible in pictures, but that only tells a little bit of the story.
