And standing awkwardly, about to get some headshots taken.

Not the most conventional tool, but a shop apron is absolutely a tool. Having some of my most-used hand tools at the ready is super important, and rather than buying something that already exists that I'd likely be unhappy with, I decided to make my own fully custom apron.

This was nearly 80 hours of labor, and a shit ton of leather!

My wife got a candid of me when we were setting up for pizza at the beach on Friday. I make pizza every Friday, and we live a couple of blocks from the water. I bought a stack of pizza boxes on Amazon, so in the summer, we sometimes take our pizza to the beach with a bottle of wine, and enjoy the sunset.

This is a project I've been meaning to get to for a long time, and I finally got it done today. I have two tees (one black and one navy) that had some bleach spots on them. No idea how they got there, but I've been wearing them for a while and wanted to get them fixed. I got some dye, and decided to do them both black. And while I was at it, I wanted to dye my white shirt red. The bleach spots are gone (hooray!), and the black over navy came out really cool. I'm also very happy with the red. Here are the results.

My wife doesn't like lamb, so when she's out for the night and I can cook whatever I feel like eating, it's a great opportunity to have something like this.

Rack of lamb with bordelaise sauce, roasted potatoes, and steamed broccoli.

Okay, so I spotted some Iron Heart jeans at a Super Bowl party yesterday, and said to the guy "it's not often that I see Iron Heart in the wild. Nice jeans. Are the 888s?" He replied, "yeah 21oz 888." I'm kind of surprised that it didn't even register with him that I guessed the cut. I didn't want to sound super nerdy, so I didn't mention that I knew they were 21oz by looking at them, so I just let it be.

I made burgers for dinner last night. I don't usually buy burger buns anymore because I've yet to find any in a store that are to my liking, so I've been making my own for years. Not the best photo of my burger and oven fries, but it was delicious

The other day, I was at the hospital in an elevator on my way to a doctor's appointment, and a guy said "Double denim. You don't see that too often. I dig it." fist bump

Thought you guys would appreciate that.

I saw this gorgeous osprey when I was out on a bike ride the other day.

I got a blastover yesterday to cover up some of the tattoos that I've been carrying around since 1998 and 2005. I'm so stoked with how this came out. I'm definitely going to go all the way around my upper arm and blastover the rest.

My daily carry. Although I think mine is a V2.

@Mizmazzle Hard to disagree with that!

My new piece from last week:

A few new bangers yesterday. A rose, a little filler flower in yellow, and a speed skull! Also, I don't know about your tattoo shop, but mine is always cold! My favorite trick for being comfortable is a down vest. It allows access to the arms for tattoos, and keeps the core warm. Highly recommended!

I designed this credenza for a furniture design class. My record player will sit on the top left, the amp directly to its right, and the speakers in the bottom corners, and record storage inside the two big doors.

I modeled the entire thing in CAD so that I can generate a cut list and start knocking out all of the components in the wood shop. It’ll make assembly a whole lot easier.

Pork chops with a peach gastrique, gratin dauphinois, green beans. And a lovely glass of Paso Robles cabernet. I made the cutting board too

American football is stupid and I can't wait for the season to be over so I can stop hearing about it all the time. I do not care! And the people who make it their whole identity come across as easily influenced rubes. I'm glad these people have a hobby, but stop shoving it my face.

I did these a few weeks ago. One of the black shirts had some bleach spots on it, one of the shirts was Navy and I didn't love wearing a navy blue shirt, and one was white, and I've always wanted a red IH tee.
