Wabbidashery… aka, The Heritage Heaven Tour

[jerkules]

@Aetas thanks mate - the painting was great to see and very vast - all the overlaid pictures from thousands of different hands was quite emotional to see in a strange way.

[jerkules]

@Mister_Brue it was a beautiful day. I was surprised that I didn’t get too hot in the chore coast as well - the 12oz fabric is very wearable

[jerkules]

@sabergirl will keep em coming while I have the jacket - thanks for the kind words

[jerkules]

@SKT that’s kind of you to say buddy thank you. I have to admit I like how the wabash looked in front of the painting(s). So much blue!

[Mister_Brue]

@jerkules True, but the 120 does get rather warm whilst working in weather like we had today. My workmates are all in t-shirts and they’re starting to think I’m nuts.

[jerkules]

@Mister_Brue yikes! You’re made of stronger stuff than I.

I was hiking the other day. Heading down the trail at a fairly high elevation rocking my 295. All the people I crossed paths with were wearing running shorts and tank tops etc. Here comes me in my 14 oz denim shirt…defo got some sideways looks. I think I was starting to doubt my own sanity by the time I made it back to the truck.

@Mizmazzle Your way of dressing and living is perfect in every way ️️️

[denim-dawg]

@jerkules Thank you honestly for sharing such a fabulous day! “If chance will have me king, why, chance may crown me.. King Wabash”! Cheers mate!!

[Mizmazzle]

@denim-dawg that’s sweet of you to say. Mind you it was hot as hell on that hike and I was sweating like a mofo in that 295er…the things we do for the fades!! Course, you know that!! Haha

Now we have David here…making it look dad sexy! No need for mountain rescue to intervene from his fade game.

Sorry that it’s been a quiet week from me. It’s been HOT here so the wabash hasn’t seen much wear. Temperatures are starting to drop slightly, so I will hopefully rectify this.

A hobby I’ve recently picked up is learning to play the Alto Saxophone. I’ve been wanting to learn sax for my entire adult life, but for some reason I never allowed myself. As a kid/teenager I got pretty good at piano and drums, I played in loads of bands. Then adulthood happened and I just kind of… stopped. I think I’ve always been waiting for a time when learning something new didn’t feel frivolous or pointless; there’s no material reason for me to learn the sax, so I didn’t. But when I think back to my teenage years, pretty much all my free time was spent doing frivolous or pointless stuff, and it was awesome.

So a couple of months back I bought myself a Yamaha YAS-280, found a teacher. I have no reason to learn other than because I like it. It’s really humbling starting something new and being totally shit at it. I’ve nearly mastered “three blind mice”. I think I’ll continue and do gradings, just because why not? Maybe I’ll get good, maybe I won’t, but I’m going to try to enjoy it either way.

And my favourite album by a saxophonist…

[endo]

cool, really cool

[SKT]

@jerkules man I love this. “Never stop learning new things” is a goal of mine as well.

[mclaincausey]

Super cool. Love sax, alto to baritone especially.

[Mizmazzle]

@jerkules you’re a cool dude, David.

[Nocturama]

Not going straight to Night Boat to Cairo, David?

I may not be 37, well I was once, now I think it’s my waist size…anyway, my Dad is David, my middle name is David and my son’s middle name is David too! Is this how cults start? ‍️

[jerkules]

@Mizmazzle ah thanks man! I’m really not tho, I’m a dork

[jerkules]

@Nocturama ha! I’d be very pleased to get to a level where I can skronk out some Madness.

That’s funny, in my family the name “James” comes up a lot. David’s a good solid name, I have no complaints, although It must be like Dr. Seuss’ poem “Too Many Daves” for your family

[Mizmazzle]

@jerkules dorky like John Coltrane

[Mister_Brue]

That’s epic; love the sax. I’ll give that album a listen.
