Aero Hooch Hauler and IH 634S in 21 oz. Love this combo. !

Gotta break them in.

@twin Good eye, Brother. Buco J21. Maybe a higher rise would work better, but like the 634 for the room in the top block and the hem opening.

@alexxedge Good on you Brother. The 634 is a comfortable fit for me. Gives me room in the top block without feeling baggy. When you are an old effer like me, some of the cuts just don't look quite right. From knee to hem, these work well with engineer boots. Glad that you get to try them on for fit. I have found that I take one size larger in the 634 than in the 666. These are the 21oz. Rock on!!

634S is my vibe

Cooler evenings call for grillin' and chillin' on the deck.

@Mister_Brue Good eye for detail. Yes, a buddy of mine did the house number and the bicycle next to it.

Giving my Nicks Boots Urban Loggers some love.

Admittedly, I've not had great experience with engineer boots. I decided to give these a go and thrilled with them. It really is all about the fit. John Lofgren in Shinki. The sizing advice of 1/2 down from Brannock worked for me.

Another reminder that Sprinter weather hasn't quite let go of central Oregon. We made it to 55° today so spent the day in the garage doing bike maintenance. A bit of rain came and I swear there were a few snow flakes in the mix. Supposed to be 90°F next weekend. C'est la vie....

Still jacket weather here and a chance to break in the Aero. Some IH along for the trip.

Valuing this vintage deck and new coat of oil today. 27 y.o. cedar. So many folks have tried to convince me that composite is the way to go, but I see no reason to replace this gorgeous wood. Planks are 1 3/4" x 5 1/2 x 20'. Like denim and leather, wood is one of those natural materials that just gets better with age.

@NorvilleRogers

Thanks Brother and thanks Iron Heart and IH team!

Damn Fine!

Ayla, the best dog ever.... I say. 13 years and going strong!

@scooter Fine ride!

@WhiskeySandwich

Well Done! Your Pro must feel a lot different than your Subuaru! I changed my oil yesterday and there is just something rewarding and relaxing about DIY.

My tires are Falken WildPeak AT3W 295/70 R18. Great all around AT tire for snow, rain, sand, dirt, yet still good road manners. The only knock I have with them is that are these are heavy at 68 lbs each. 10 ply and E rated plus the size I think explains it.

The OEM Pro wheels are just ideal in my mind. BBS forged and look the stuff. Good choice if you keep them. Some folks want to go negative offset and so either get wheels for a wider stance, but definitely do your homework as there are often clearance issues with that approach.

@Inorganic

Right on! I can't believe how blessed we are in Oregon to have these great companies near by. I visited Wesco last Feb. and got fitted for a pair of the Mr. Lou collab boot with The Shop. Should be ready in the next few months.
