I love the deck shorts, except when it's time to pee. Are you guys unbuttoning the buttons or going "over the gate?"

@ShopatIronHeart

@Oaktavia Mine will be largely hands-on. I'm taking a really interesting History and Critique of Art and Design from 1950-present class, but the real work starts this morning when I meet with my studio professor to find out what I'll be doing in the wood shop this semester.

@Graeme that makes perfect sense!

@flannel-slut Yes! I'm so happy you're happy with it. It was such a pleasure working with you, and I'm so glad you'll be able to wear that special buckle and honor your grandfather in such a meaningful way.

@SKT @ZackB Thank you, gents!

@Graeme that had to have been challenging!

@Graeme said in Random Announcements:

@seawolf what field is your MFA in? I finished a master's in Creative Writing a couple of years ago. I haven't done anything with it yet, though.

Wow! Congrats! Where did you do your MFA? Mine will be in Furniture Design and Woodworking. My university also has a robust teacher training program, so if all goes well, I'll get to teach my own class by my second semester, and continue to do that throughout the program. The end goal is to teach, so I should be very well equipped by the end of these three (yes three!) years.

@Oaktavia thank you! If I’m feeling brave, I might share some of my work later on.

@Oaktavia I just started my MFA program yesterday! I may be naive, but I'm loving it so far and I'm really looking forward to the whole program.

Speaking of back to school, anyone else in school right now? My semester just started yesterday, and my brain is already mush.

If I lived in a cooler climate, I would be all over this jacket. It's so gorgeous!

I used to build rockets when I was a kid and loved it. It never even occurred to me to look into it as an adult. I should look into that. Good luck with your launch!

@Ikeaparty brilliant

Maybe this belongs to unpopolar opinions.

It’s fine here, for now!

I wash all of my IH jeans the same way. Inside out, buttons buttoned, regular cycle, mild detergent, spin at whatever default speed my washer uses, and hang dry once the washer is done. Once dry, I turn them right side out. I've never experienced marbling with any of them, and that includes SBG, 14oz, 21oz, 21oz od, and 25oz. Not sure how anyone is getting marbling, but I've never had any issues.

Has anyone seen The Orville? When I started the first episode, I thought it was going to be fine, but nothing special. Boy, was I wrong. That show has no business being as good as it is. If you like Star Trek and that sort of thing, give The Orville a shot. Also, Strange New Worlds is an incredible Star Trek series that's essentially a prequel to the original series. Highly recommended if you like Star Trek, or even if you don't.

@flannel-slut Heroes had so much potential! Man, that show had such a great first season.

@SKT thanks!
