@Denimhead-0 hahaha the best! Thankfully mine runs anytime a camera is out, but she talks shit from around the corner while it’s happening

One of my silly things that I enjoy is reading about cryptids. One of favorites in the Flatwoods Monster of WV. Today is the 74th anniversary of her sighting and my wife accidentally did this to my hard to find ceramic lantern of her

@Jord it is but they dont ship so will take another trip to WV and they dont frequently have them. They’re made by hand in a tiny ceramic shop in Ohio and hand painted.

@Anesthetist gotta look at the positive then and you'll make a trip out of getting a new one

@tody I thought about it but it literally went off like a bomb. These were the only large pieces, the rest splintered to bits.

Last night, I arrived at Heathrow around 11:30 pm, went through immigration and took the train over to my hotel room for the night. Half way there, I get a text from Laura asking if I remembered to pick up my checked bag…I had not. Because of the hour there was no way to go back and retrieve it and went to sleep albeit restless.
This morning, rushed back to terminal 5 to check if I could retrieve my bag. Spoke to a lovely agent this morning who said that there was no need as it has been checked to the final destination…that had been my original thought and only questioned when Laura brought it up…

One of the gussets on my 293-OD got caught on something and ripped off. What a sad day…

@Matt “College is one thing. Having a gusset brutally ripped away in its prime is something else entirely. I’m not ready to let go yet, Matt.

@Indigo-Alchemist It's not the gusset, that would be the triangluar thing in the middle of the front- and backpiece. these are 'just' the chainstitch runoffs.
who was it on here that cut them off and collected them? can't remember...
-
@tody You’re right—chainstitch runoffs! I somehow mixed them up with the gusset. To be fair, the gusset on my Invitational pair also has a hole, so apparently all parts have decided to fall apart simultaneously.

I have just been searching for a vest for layering. Nothing fancy, canvas, maybe waxed, ideally with a bit of a lining for warmth. And I noticed how some shops and "influencers" edit the absolute bejeesus out of their pictures so that it becomes almost impossible to tell what color the garment you are looking at even is.
In this case, the same exact item. In one guys instagram outfit post it appeared to be a nice warm golden brown similar to the Iron Heart 17oz duck canvas. And in the store listing the photos were so desaturated that the vest looked more beige than brown. It took forever to find a normal image that showed what I can reasonably expect the vest to look like
Its not the first time I noticed it but this time it was really driving me up the wall.. I like to search for stuff via image search as it tends to give a broad range of styles and fits from a bunch of different shops. But I also have a list of places where, if I see their pictures in the results, I will just ignore them because I know the pictures are about as far removed from reality as they can get away with. I don't even get the end game. If I order something that is being advertised as vibrant bottle green but I receive something in a muted olive tone that I am not looking for, everybody in this transaction loses. I can kind of get why influencers do it, even if it is disingenuous, but why a shop trying to make a sale and a satisfied customer does this is beyond me..
In any case, I ordered that vest because it was only one of two articles that more or less fit what I was looking for. But I am still not sure what color I will actually receive in the end.
