What are your jeans doing today?

Not today, but a week ago we welcomed our little girl into the world a whole month early! She and mom are healthy and doing great, we’re just adjusting to the inevitable lack of sleep.  Happy holidays and new year to all, here’s to dad fades in 2025!

Happy for you Austin.  It's quite an adventure -- unlike jeans, doesn't fade with time.

Congratulations, Austin! Good to hear that all went well. Enjoy every minute with her. They grow up really fast.

A few days ago, went back to my hometown briefly and saw some good friends, 25 years or more I've known all of these guys. None of us bowl, so it was a comedy of errors but a good time. 

The bowling alley in our town is almost no different than what it was in the 90's, save for the addition of electronic scorekeeping really. Even most of the arcade games are the same, though half were out of order. Whoever was running the jukebox had a great affinity for Ozzy and AC/DC. The t shirts were Creed centric. Almost like stepping in to the wayback machine. But, the place was busy!

@AlientoyWorkmachine looks a good laugh... sweatshirt looks good... what is it?

[MJF9]

I thought it might be a FW sweat - your sizing works really well... cool kit... you know we need to see the SC x Junky fit pics as well now!!

@AlientoyWorkmachine are all your friends related to each other? Brothers perhaps? They have remarkably similar faces.

[ATWM]

@MJF9 thanks - I took a 38, whereas in jackets I take a 40. This is mainly due to the fabric and seams being more flexible than denim and my stature being more suited to a 38 - it is a close fit but makes for good layering and I like the length. Problem is with the jackets, the shoulders and chest are often too restrictive in a 38, so a 40 is a better call.

@Maynard Friedman you could call us brothers! I'm clearly the um...outlier.

This looks like what I see when I open up my laptop and my PC asks me ‘can you guess where this is?’. Beautiful shot!

Pretty perfect Sunday.

A chilly walk across the top of the white cliffs, followed by the best pub roast I've had in years, in a 400 year old pub set in a village with my name.

For those not familiar with the white cliffs of Dover, this is britains biggest man made structure. And along with the Great Wall of China, pyramids of Giza etc, it's one of just a few man made structures that can be seen from space.

Construction was started during the napoleonic war to dissuade the french navy. It was further fortified from the 1st world War onwards to the scale seen today.

Fun fact, it gets a fresh coat of paint every 5 years and uses over 350 tonnes of paint each time.

I had no idea the cliffs were actually man-made - very cool and impressive tidbit of information! Lovely pics

I’ve never heard of the White Cliffs of Dover being man-made. How so?

That was exactly what I did before asking here, I couldn't find anything here, for example-  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Cliffs_of_Dover
