          Thanks all!  and @Seul , keeping it vague for now, but you can be sure I'll let you know as soon as I have it figured out  😃

          As for today, I got to enjoy the jacket in proper fall weather…

          Also swung by favorite hot dog joint.  Best Chicago dog I've had outside of Chicago…

              Spent the last few days driving around Michigan, visiting friends, and just generally enjoying fall…

              On the road heading up to Traverse City...

              Swung by a friends place.  He's very dedicated to cider making, and this past summer he started planting an orchard for personal / home use.  All kinds of fun / weird / old apple varieties.  Can't wait to see what the project yields in a few years time…

              They also have a lovely view out their back yard…

              Yesterday I grabbed a coffee and a fancy "poptart" that was basically shortcrust with a super tasty apple filling…

              Then I went hiking around up on the Old Mission Peninsula (a picturesque peninsula that juts out into Lake Michigan).  Pyatt Lake is one of my favorite spots, especially in spring when this place absolutely packed with wild flowers of all kinds…

              This time around the trail / forest floor were covered in leaves…

              Pardon the poor focus, but there were some beautiful fungi sprouting all around…

              Someone brought a nice rocker down to the lake…

              And the lake itself…

              And now a much bigger lake.  This is the view of Lake Michigan while driving down along the west side of the peninsula…

              Went down to Lansing (the state capital) last night to visit with a few more friends.  Didn't take many photos, but I was able to swing by one of my favorite coffee shops before skipping town this morning.  Had a really fantastic lemon zest donut…

              And now, a few highlights from my soundtrack on the road…

              Sarah Louise - Deeper Woods (one of my favorite folk albums of the year)

              Kate Tempest - Let Them Eat Chaos

              Remember Sports - Slow Buzz (favorite punk/emo/whatever album of the year so far)

              Marissa Anderson - Cloud Corner

                    If you dig that Sarah Louise record, check out Itasca. Saw them both on the same bill a few years ago.

                      Beans are ready to be spilled…  In a few weeks (as soon as my car arrives in MI from HI) I'll be moving out to the Catskill Mountains in New York to make beer at Catskill Brewery.  Can't wait to get out there...

                      Also, the jacket is on it's way and should be landing with @celik real soon…

                        The eagle has landed in New York. This is truly a great jacket.

                        Heading down to Richmond, VA tomorrow night to visit family for Thanksgiving. Please excuse the dirty mirror and my toothpick, haha. I just wanted to snap a photo right out of the bag. More (better) pics to follow…

                            It certain is. Great time to get the jacket, enjoy your holiday.

                                Made it to my mom’s house in Richmond, VA late last night. This morning we had a really nice breakfast and my brother-in-law stopped by with my nephew and he showed me how to use the nutcracker. Now it’s time for naps before preparing and cooking for Thanksgiving dinner.

                                  We’re trying out a new (to me) method of cooking the turkey this year called spatchcock turkey:

                                      And went for a nice little walk with the pups.
