    ^^^For us the problem is not the increased usage, rather that our system can't handle big current draws without turning on the generator.
  3. ATWM
    I can’t speak to the particulars, but whatever the additional draw is I can say we haven’t really noticed it on our electric bill. That might not be helpful as I’m not sure what sort of rationing you’d have to do. There was already a 220 line next to the gas line that was installed before we bought our house, that was lucky. We did notice our bill change a little when switched to EV and a plug in hybrid (our mileage is generally fairly low, most miles total are electric) - maybe 12-13k a year for spread across two cars.

    Being in an off-grid situation we're on propane. Like KOTH Hank's barbeque except it's a 500 gallon tank. Used to be affordable. Now it costs a f'in fortune. I've been curious about induction cookers. I suspect they're a big current draw which is problematic for us.

    First pic is making me feel good about getting a narrow width embossed western belt from Codina kinda specifically to wear with my Sugar Cane 42s 🤠

    Back on the 13.7 oz which arrived from Bears today. You can see that despite both sizes being a 33 the SS on the right is bigger. Few days ago my wife who hardly ever comments on my jeans/clothes asked me what was up with the back of my pants 😅 The SS just bags too much on me unfortunately

    Thank you, @Dr_Heech! I was hoping one of the resident historians would chime in to confirm my suspicions. What gives the match strike pair away as being a 37 rather than an early war model? From that angle it doesn't look like there is, or ever was, a cinch. Here's another shot of him.

    Yea I totally understand not switching due to cost. I’m speaking more about all the waxing poetic about it that I’ve seen here in the US - advertising and lobbying really and then people buying into it. There has been a lot of money spent trying to make people think gas is the best, and to actively invest in it - and it’s been done largely by utilities who just want to sell gas - the fossil fuel industry. @julian-wolf You're right though. We had to ditch our wok (which was also our only pan that lacked the magnetic properties needed). I do miss that a bit, but only when I’m reminded of it! There is a bit of an adjustment.

    Shit, it is solely great fits on this page! Well done guys! Hope I don’t lower the quality tooo much:) Danton / Sunray Sportsware / Duke (non-wiz) / WHxHinoya disregard the footware, it was taken in backyard
  14. julian-wolf
    I think my (somewhat strong) preference for gas is rooted in some of my favorite pots & pans not having fully flat bottoms. A small saucier will operate very differently if it’s only heated from the bottom; a wok won’t operate at all. That said, I’m sure that when we inevitably do make the switch to induction, it’ll just take a year or two to forget I ever had any complaints
  15. Cold Summer
    I much prefer electric stoves but it's entirely because they're so easy to keep clean, just wipe down the flat surface and you're done. Cleaning my gas stove is annoying and time consuming that I don't even care if it cooks better or not.
  16. Hopethisoneisnttaken
    ^ as you mentioned briefly in your last sentence, induction stoves that match the quality (of cooking) of gas stoves are much more expensive than their gas counter parts. At least that’s how it is here. I’m not sure it’s romance, I think it’s a much more practical.
  17. Dr_Heech
    That's some great stuff right there @reubensangwich - they are definitely a pair of '1937' 501XX but have had the cinch strap completely removed as well as the rivets (a little dark hole being the tell tell sign). Also that first shot, amazing shape of the arcuate where it hits (almost) the bottom of the vertical side of the back pocket. Also, that pair in the middle with the match strikes, they are 1937 model also.
  18. ATWM
    We all have our weird tradeoffs. I had a sinus injury when I was young, so I’m not sure I can taste/smell as well as the average person, but the romance over gas is something I truly cannot comprehend. Induction is faster, more precise, cleaner (air and surface). My brother who is an intrepid cook who does understand the difference in more subtle ways changed about two years ago, motivated at least in part by having a young child with asthma - and wonders why he was hesitant. For our part, we’re just slowly trying to electrify our home over time as we can afford, and this was just one step in that.

    Their madras shirts are looking nice as well. Trying to get one
  20. julian-wolf
    I know it’s probably doing irreparable damage to my system breathing in all the unburned natural gas, but I wouldn’t trade our ‘50s Wedgewood for anything

    Heresy perhaps but what my jeans are doing is honestly cooking with magnets for the last few years. We replaced our gas range with an induction and I’ve not missed it for a second. No room here for waxing nostalgic about much! Our outside grill is gas, but gets little use!

    Last night’s fare, to stay on topic
  25. reubensangwich
    A couple shots by Marion Post Wolcott. If you zoom in you can read the lot and size numbers. Match strikes on the right hamstring. Patch removed, cinch as well, or possibly an S501 with watch pocket rivets.
