Possibly the last special person dance last night. Goes by real fast chaps. Real fast.

A jetlagged happy denim dork!

Thanks @Bailey for making it happen.

From the other day. An unusual family trip to the PA Outdoorsman Expo. Not my usual scene as I'm not a hunter. But my son had a fun day messing with knives and guns with his uncle, dad, and pappou.

Scratches and an irritating strap change system aside, it's a classic.

Waiting for my students - happy Mardi Gras! At my little Catholic college, lent is obviously a big deal.

The dial on this deserves more praise than it receives.

I just spent a week with dear friends, walking the footpaths of Suffolk. I am profoundly grateful for my interesting little life.

@Ross @sabergirl I work as a professor in a university and this is like wildfire... A great example of "progress" just because we could, without any regard for if we should. Don't get me wrong here: I'm an early adopter of LLMs and they have made portions of my life unbelievably easier. But I can see how it becomes a crutch, displacing thought and creativity and spirit and replacing it with sterile, contrived, and entirely unoriginal language. We can't unring the bell so it's here to stay. We're along for the ride, however it ends.

I love these modern Seiko inspired recreations of classics. Well...up until they started writing 3 Days on the dial. Why Seiko?

My poor little girl was up all night throwing up so I'm working from home and making chicken noodle soup. This isn't a rant at all. I just feel bad for the poor little thing. I will say that the fucking weather in the northeast has had is all stuck inside with no fresh air for six weeks; it's no wonder we're all getting sick and crazy.

With southeastern Pennsylvania hitting 80f/25c tomorrow, I feel confident these can go away for a few months.

I'm all for the "red W" on jeans or shirts. I think it's a nice wink to the cognoscenti.

@chiverus I am a Seiko junkie! I've dreamt of going watch picking in Japan, maybe more than going denim picking.

@chap this new microbrand is made out of pumice stone so it's lighter than it looks , but I agree that the big heavy watches are becoming a problem.

@northsouthdenimguy I completely agree with this. There are a few others. Actually, Rolex is basically on that list for me anymore. I won't submit to AD hijinks and I'm not spending $15k on a stainless steel watch with a 30 year old movement in it, in house or not. I have a couple, all bought in the midst of COVID depression on the grey market. I'll likely keep them, but I wouldn't do it again.

@Jord Hah! I had an absolute fit about this a few weeks ago. My lazy, unhealthy neighbors let their dogs of the leash in our shared green and just leave the shit. They always do it, but this time he excuse was "the snow is hard to walk in.". Mind you, not to be mean, but these people would have a challenging time walking with no snow. A hill would do them in. I have kids. They play outside. I walk my dog there on a leash which is actually the law. It's disgusting to do this to a shared space. I picked it all up, took a pic of myself holding the neighborhood bag of dog shit, and sent it to the neighbor chat with the message "time to act like adults.". I was livid. I haven't seen an errant pile since. Lazy, selfish slobs. Lol

@WhiskeySandwich Seiko is a top tier watch. Price has nothing to do with it. They make amazing watches with a pile of heritage and tech. In fact, there is no watch in my collection that has been more recognized and commented on than my SKX!

Is anyone doing something interesting? I can't upload a photo of me grading student papers and expect an upvote so let me live through your fun.

@Giles hah! That's my Dad. We'll spend the whole night over there messing about and on the way out the door he'll launch into some urgent and complex thing that was somehow neglected earlier.

@northsouthdenimguy Delugs has some of those sporty straps with the correct lug mechanism. I dig the green one. Should make the watch more sport and less dress!
