What are your jeans doing today?

[dr proctor]

Vintage levi jeans red line

LLBean duck boots

Been lurking around this site for a while now and finally decided it was about time i started posting.

Loving those duck boots, wish they were easily available over this side of the pond.

Today we got up and grabbed some doughnuts at Kips Doughnuts

Then we drove down to Cochiti Pueblo to go hike the easy little loop around the Kasha Katuwe Tent Rocks area. We also went down the slot canyon path. This area is really amazing and looks so different from everything in the surrounding area. I would have taken pictures of the pueblo as well, but photographs are prohibited in most of the pueblos.

Those doughnuts are making me hungry.

[Guest BCDL]

Yum! Yum! Yum!

Then we decided to go to Bobcat Bite. This is a burger joint that only has 9 tables and a counter. It's been rated as the best hamburger in the USA by a bunch of different restaurant magazines and the NYT as well. The food is all natural and the burger is ground fresh daily from high quality meat. It's also cheap: Lunch for 2, $25. You almost always have to wait for a seat. We only had to wait 10 minutes because we went in-between lunch and dinner.

I ordered a Green Chile Cheeseburger with Bacon. Classic New Mexico hamburger. The side was Home Fries, no french fries here. I ordered my burger rare, because the beef here is so high quality that it really is damn good that rare. Yum!

After this I went home and got ready for work... and unfortunately I can't wear jeans to my job.

I hope everyone had a wonderful day!

Was feeling kind of depressed today, so I decided to do some man stuff, just pottering around to take my mind off it.

This tool shed/work bench out on the deck was stuffed to the ceiling with extra tiles, carpet offcuts, houseplant pots and all kinds of crap. It never got cleaned up after my fiancee moved in here. So I cleared it all out.

Then I made a pot of coffee.

And retreated to my new man-cave to listen to some depressing 80s British music.

This storm had been gently rolling in all day. My point and shoot has absolutely zero manual control, so I couldn't do it justice. It looks like the edge of the earth when a storm settles in and blankets the Sound.

Almost horizontal rainfall is awesome!

Edit: No denim vis because crotch bulge was out of control.

I was a sunny day yesterday so I went to West Village did some errands.

More construction work from the Stronghold WT thread. Hit that thread for a little workwear p0rn.

Rippin' some shims down in the basement

WAYWT

This thread is blowing up. So happy every time I read any of our "regular" posters... And all of you new posters to this thread are really killing it too. Zissou. You've had a hell of a time with that tour!

teaser pic from today. fog left a layer of snow attached to everything. really great day for a long hike along the river...

[Rob060]

[zissou]

Wonderful photos, Rob.

@-Z- yeah, it's been a fun tour month, and I still have a few more ideas.

Off on my regular East End jaunt with the nipper; Brick Lane, Hacknet and Columbia Road

The scene changes every week. New graffiti on this 18th centry shopfront. I would guess this is a little old Jewish taylors shop.

On Brick Lane itself, the 'new' vintage stores blend into the old ones. Top photo is a shop in Cheshire st, with plenty of old coats, scarves, Barbour jackets, tweedy stuff. On the stalls themselves, you can still buy British-made working boots for £25-40, including Doc Marten styles. Lower photos are Beyond Retro. Woolshirts, Big E jacekt, with homemade print on the back, £45, a good price in my book. Wool shirt start at £25. THe stuffed heads sadly aren't for sale

Need to wash the cuffs on my SDA today. So it\s 1947 LVC, LVC jacket, trickers and some ENglish scarf whose name I forget.

[Paul T]

A little warehouse opposite the Truman brewery on Brick Lane has a few new dealers. Lots of interesting or kitsch stuff. Check out the Danish cocktail cabinet; a bit pricey though, at £500.

There's a glass-frotned clothes and food market just up form the Truman Brewery. Often has good vintage stuff; I liked this Belgian shirt from the 30s. £25.

It was a good morning for the nipper. One stall had a set of mililtary knapsacks, lovely olive fabric and leather hardware. All at £25-35. He went up and offered £15. They tried to get him to take amore modern camo one: "No, that's too big, I want that one and this is all I've got." I'd taught him the negotiation technique of then keeping quiet, till they give in. They gave in.

ROund the corner at Son of a Stag, Drapers Walk, they have three Union Speicla up and running, Kiya dropped in recently, Rudi reckons he's a nice guy. I'm sending Rudy the details of an eBay auction for a Draper X-3 loom. I'd LOVE to see one of those up and running in the shop!

[Paul T]

Over to Columbia Road again. Forgotten what this shop is called, but it's a 50s-style make-up parlour. I find it very erotic staring in that window at all the assistants, in their starched pink linen. Drool... er, just as an aesthetic experience, I mean.

Our fave sweet shop, Suck and Chew. I had something different from sweets in mind today.

As usual, I needed a hound shot for Lendo. This is the best I could come up with. Some of these dogs haven't been looking after themselves.

A friend, Ben's, shop. Lots of interesting shop fittings and stuff. I asked him to lend me his ears. He said he could, but he'd much rather I bought one. Or an eye.

I don't like this stallholder, but I liked his mail bags. Spendy, though, £35.

Another favourite haunt.One of the flower stalls on Columbia Road. We've been coming here since the nipper was born - I'd get a lie-in Saturdays, the g/f would lie in Sundays, the market was agreat place to take a baby at five or seven in the morning . Now those guys have become almost family friends. When we got married, they gave us a van full of flowers and wouldn't take any money for them.

Couldn't afford the roses, today, though! But the Hyacinths went down well. Have a great day.

[fardin]

awesome pics paul. i dont understand why thef... i cant rep some people here anymore!!!!!!

Well, went on a 10 mile hike yesterday in the snow. great time out with my old man. really flat light and it was snowing on and off like a mofo, so none of my pics were really any good but hey, documenting the adventure was still fun.

taken by pops.

yup. that's about it. pics look like ass. cheers everybody.

[almostnice]

soo well done,Paul!

its clearly visible that you spend some thougts in putting the pics together.

the make-up parlour followed by suck&chew...

lets use your words from last night: very subtle,hehe...( very dirty laughing here)

[almostnice]

right,my turn now.took the kids out again to have more fun in the snow:

as there are only 3 weeks left for me in the FC-contest i have to catch up:

back at home the wife allowed me to do a fitpic of her new Strongholds:

than it was time to help my daughter with her costume for the fancy-dress party:

(i told her that the mask sits upside down,but she prefers it this way)

after they left i jumped into the car to see my mate Hans.

i stole this motiv from Lendo,cheers,old chap!

this man is a german reggae-legend.he collects for over 30 years,runs a small label and is writing the monthly reggaecolumn for the Rollingstone magazine:

some of his treasures:

above records are not in my pricerange,but i had to pick up my monthly dosis of vinyl anyway:

Hans is a great guy,not that he was my best man at my wedding,he also gets me all the stuff i need but not having the time to look/search for.

he used to run different recordshops over the years,but modern times forced him to do mailorder only buisness for assorted customers.

funny sidenote is,that some of the best reggae reissues are made in Japan now.

Spiderman, spiderman, does whatever a spider can...

great post, almostnice- and I'm glad u guys up north are also still covered in snow***

Almostnice- plus rep for the pressuresounds seven.

Paul, can't rep but your photos make me yearn for east london more and more. I think we need a London sufu parent meet up there some time soon.

[Paul T]

I rep'd you for this but I fear I may have made a mistake.

You say you were on the way to see your reggae-loving friend. The photo says you are on the way to rub out someone who has not come up with the money for a drugs deal. The shades say you are going to torture him at some length, maybe with zissou's nail gun, before you perform the coup de grace.

Your wife and children seem nice, do they know of your double life???

also wearing a red sweater so you don't see the blood stains

[Rob060]
