A bit of a photo dump. I’m on a work team outing on the north shore of Lake Superior for a couple days. I think I stood for 45 minutes staring silently at the lake.

Picked up these jeans from @yannis and I’m finally breaking them out for the summer riding season.

Happy 2026 all!

I loved this video, but since I typically have some stupid joke to add I won’t skip one this time.

My favorite part was the Netflix murder documentary music and camera panning to Giles sitting in the chair looking guilty.

@Matt In assume the brewery is air conditioned? Or should we all be preparing for weird sweaty forum hugs?

@Giles I really like some of the aging work he does. I won’t live long enough to get a hat to look like that naturally. I appreciate his flame thrower.

Now I want this one.

Now I want this one.

@Giles he does make a ton of cool styles. I am in awe of his selection as a one man shop. I already want another one.

I’ve been wearing wearing mine riding this summer when it isn't too damn hot, and it’s been slowly forming to my head. Ready for years of use.

I hope you find one you like.

My free rice cooker bit the dust (Aroma brand), so I figured I’d splurge for a Made in Japan model. First cook is in.

@Denman-John that is a unique style hat. In one of his interviews he said he jumped into a pool one night at a party and his hat got all misshapen and wonky… and he said it opened his eyes to how he actually wanted his hat to look. It inspired him to start making interesting designs.

I got the Black Goose. And while it looks like a cattleman’s crease western with a straight brim, the slight wave and brown aging make it really stand apart.

@CosmoSix5 understood. I have a shorter torso so my IH sweatshirt is a little long in the body. I don’t like them cropped but your look seems perfect, pre wash anyhow. But we aren’t all 6’5”
