10E2456: Utz "dont call them Old Bay" Crab Seasoning Chips


Using a seasoning mix tipping-the-hat to Old Bay Seasoning in nearby Delaware Maryland, chip maker Utz from Pennsylvania has for a few years created these Crab Chips. Damn tasty. Keep your eyes peeled.  BTW - Old Bay on devilled eggs or corn on the cob? #crabcakesandfootball

10E2455: LLBean Boots - Better Than New


Salvaged my teenage LLBean boots from a random box in basement a few months back.

Immediately packed them off for a $39 refurb from LLBean (includes s/h). The lady said it would take 8 weeks. Wrong, took 2 months - to the day! Fantastic... They sure are using some high test CRM up there - when I called she already knew my email address - love it.

New soles sewn on as below. New footbeds, and tan laces. Gifting these to the intern.#betterthannew

10E2454: Tennis Elbow Is Not At All Humorous

With one swing of the racket last week I felt a small 'twang' like a rubber band in my elbow. Always thought "tennis elbow' was a load of hooey - it is not funny(bone) at all... damn painful.

You know what else - the fine art of the reblog... not practiced much nowadays. [nice segue - ed.] Big fan here. If you did not catch All Plaidout's week long tribute to David Letterman, well lets fix that...


Newman x Letterman. Venn diagram time for Max Wastler... fantastic stuff. You can even jump right in at the end with the above, and essential viewing is an episode of Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee with Letterman. Who is a pretty snappy #menswear dresser in his downtime btw - you think the short sleeved sweatshirt is a Newman nod? Have a look.

But back to me... we didn't see Letterman growing up as no tv to speak of - plus in UK half the time. And the one week Dave came to London (remember that?)  not his best era perhaps. Anyhow, men are lucky ain't we - getting more grizzled as we get older.  Compliments cost nothing folks - hence the reblog.

10E2453: A Year Of Practiculture - Rohan Anderson


Rohan "Whole Larder Love" Anderson is cooking up his next book titled, A Year of Practiculture.  I like the direction here - a look at how to subsist, if you want to look...

The copy below is a one-off I think. Hand tooled in the style of those old Time-Life wild west subject books. Leatherwork by Warhorse Workshop. Believe Rohan may travel to the USA to promote/speak behind this book - good stuff.

10E2452: Pink Oxford


A pink shirt - not red chambray, I mean a full-on pink OCBD has not been crowed about much in recent years. JPress have one, and Brethren continue to do so. Solid.
