Currently THE happiest camper because it's in the 50s (~12C) this morning. I need more of this. Why do I live here, again?

We’ve got an extra houseguest for a couple weeks

My favo(u)rite is probably “brave proposal.”

Just noticed this. Hard to capture but pretty cool how electric the blue is that’s starting to pop through in places.

My 350 Cruisers I ordered from Baker's last year arrived today, and man... I don't think I was prepared. These things are ridiculously awesome.

I'd been slightly worried by a couple of things I'd heard online in various places, namely sizing weirdness (people's theories and experiences seem to be radically disparate) and questions of decreased quality (I feel like people love to say this about so many brands). Thankfully, neither was a problem.

The build quality seems nuts. I couldn't find a single thing that gave me any kind of concern, and they just seem more solid than any other pair of boots I've ever owned. They are absolute chonks.

Size wise, I've mentioned in various places on here that I've often ended up with boots that are a little too small, owing that my foot is between a 13 and 14 Brannock, and most size-down-one heritage type boots only make up to 12. For these, I wondered if I might go for a 12.5, but I just followed the advice on White's site, measured my foot, and went with their suggested size of 13. I was really worried I'd be swimming in them, but they fit perfectly.

I've also heard quite a bit about the break-in being tough with these, but so far I'm not running into any trouble; in fact they feel downright comfortable. The ladder-rung thing thing is definitely there — this arch isn't playing around — but I dig the feel. The soles feel really anchoring when I walk. Not sure I'd wanna walk five miles in em today, but the degree of initial comfort is a nice surprise.

Only mild gripe is a silly one: the color's darker than I'd like. That said, I know from pics that the cinnamon waxed flesh lightens up as it's worn and scuffed, and those worn pics are why I bought these in the first place, so I'm just going to have to beat the shit out of em . I couldn't be more psyched. As soon as I put them on, I thought "man, I'm gonna have these forever."

Thanks to @SKT for buying advice and moral support as I whined during the grueling wait. The forum's best boot wingman right there.

Thought about putting this in either or both of the Music and Instagram threads, but I figure it probably makes the most sense to put it under one roof here as a random announcement.

I've played in bands my whole adult life, but lately have been pivoting more towards pared down solo work. I recently started an Insta to corral my music stuff, plus a new Bandcamp to collect recordings as I work on them, both demos (as are on there right now) and any future stuff that's more fully produced.

If you'd like to check it out, follow me at @palmooremusic (Insta) and palmoore.bandcamp.com. And fyi, I have the demos currently on there as set to a high stream count per song until it asks you to pay, after which putting in $0 is totally fine with me. These are unmastered songs, really just put up to get out there and into people's ears. Thanks, y'all!

Edit: whoops, left the last p out of the Bandcamp link. Fixed
