It was so great to finally meet everyone, so glad we finally made the trip! Thanks again to the crew for organizing and making the party happen!

Meet our little Moo, we got her as a rescue 2 months ago and she's settling in well!

We finally finished out our Airbnb #2 on our small East Austin property. It was originally built out as a garage in 1953 but this is the current state of it:

I know, she's ridiculous.

@Oaktavia haha, absolutely, she’d love that!

We took her to Patterson Park this morning, she’s loving the weather as much as we are!

Here's my work vehicle. It's a 2015 Cayenne diesel. I've had numerous Eurowise goodies installed (bumpers, coilvers, underbody protection) and plan on getting more:

From the Texas Hills meetup at Self Edge today! Great turnout and a number of guys bought their first Iron Heart pieces today!

Can’t believe it but I picked up this Good Art Fin Link bracelet at a Pawnshop off Riverside Ave in Austin and there was a hobo passed out 5’ from the front door on behalf of @Bomar1981 for $163:

Spot price per gram is like $2 and it's 28 grams total so not too terribly far off!

My buddy Mark had this AI ad pop up on marketplace and the Pawn shop was only a few miles from me!

@goosehd Are those JMM Hemmings?

Just came across this shoutout from Derek Guy regarding UHF’s:

@WithBongInHand What are you doing in Austin? Just noticed the Waterline in the background. You're probably a few blocks from my house but I'm out of town working at the moment.

@northsouthdenimguy I made my own DIY version about 5 years ago. It was nothing special, just burning some T&G cedar with a propane bottle and a weed torch. Looking back, I didn't do nearly as much of a char as I should have. I saw an exhibition probably a decade ago put on by Delta Millworks where they were doing their own version of Shou Sugi Ban. They've become quite a large distributor for it now if you're ever looking to source some:

Here's the only picture I have handy:

if I had another in Large, it would be all yours @Chap!

@Matt said in The Iron Heart Baltimore Bash - September 18, 19 & 20, 2026:

@Clint_D brought me some v1 IH-666-19L to see if they fit me. He said they came up a bit small. @Alex confirmed the first gen of those were notoriously small, like by 2 or 3 sizes.

I was ready to send them back with @Giles to be added to RELOVE but at the last minute I asked my daughter to try them on for shits and giggles and well…

Couldn’t be happier @Matt, I always love seeing items go to a good home and that’s the best possible outcome! Thanks again to you and Katie and the IHUK crew for making all of this happen! It was a hell of a meetup even if I was beat down by a random tree, can’t wait for next year!!
