Hey [mention]Alex [/mention] and everyone. I was actually thinking about this thread and getting back into the slubbies soon. In mid August I got bit by a deer tick and got Lyme disease. Luckily 3 weeks of antibiotics was able to treat that from becoming a really rough time. The unfortunate part of it is that I had a nasty infection about the size of an egg on my leg that resulted in an open wound. It stinks because it’s right on my calf and the 777 cut is so slim that I can’t really wear them without re-opening the wound back up. Generally these deals take about 2-3 months to heal up. I’ve got my follow up with the doc on Tuesday morning of next week. Once I get the go ahead to start hiking again, I’ll be back in full effect. Right now the wound is about the size of smushed dime and about 1/3 of the original size. I’m so grateful for western medicine because I’ve had 2 nasty infections this year. I had a cyst removed from my back January and now the tick bite. I’m so looking forward to getting back out there and thrashing the slubs. I should be able to hit 100 hikes by the time they release!

@Fadez Glad you’re on the mend!  Tick bites are no joke and it’s good that you were able to take care of it before it got too bad.

Take care and look forward to more of your adventures in due time.

Thanks [mention]goosehd [/mention] ! The tree outside my window is starting to change for fall. I can’t wait to capture the changes on my hikes.

Damn, [mention]Fadez [/mention] ! I’m so glad you were able to nip the Lyme in the bud. Wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.

@Madame:

no doubt got some excellent additional evo during his energetic fishing trip

Jeans not worn on fishing boats - not by me at least.  Fuckers when they get wet or you fall in…..

@Fadez oh my that is gnarly man hope you are getting better soon! Good that you found it early!

[Giles]

Yeah, shit @Fadez .  Get back to good health as soon as you can….

[Fadez]

Thank you everyone for the well wishes!! I’ve definitely felt a little guilty not being able to post. But I know whenever I get back on the trail it’ll be worth it!! Going for those waterfall fades!

[Oaktavia]

Dude you are not guilty for falling victim to a nasty disease. The fades(z) will come when the time is right. Be well!

[mclaincausey]

Don't feel guilty man holy shit Lyme is no joke. Glad you're OK @Fadez

[Fadez]

Glad to hear you're on the mend.</insert>

Hey everyone. Just got back from the doctors this morning. While my wound is healing and almost there, the doctors don’t want me to put any additional stress on it for another month at least. I’m happy because it’s healing and things are looking good. I’m sad because another month of no hiking is really eating away at me. At this point, I feel like I need to pass the torch and let the community wear my sample pair. I’d be happy to send these to a new home that can properly thrash them. @Giles  and @Alex  any thoughts on this? I know you want to showcase how the slubby will evolve before December and I don’t want to hold you up. I remember @Matt  said they were his size. I’m open to anything because I feel that these jeans need they love of wear before the official release.
