Good morning! Green shell Strands today

 

[Geoff928]

It has been too long since my last post, so here is a wall of spam pictures of the shoes I've been wearing lately.

Green shell Strands from last year's TS. I'll be opening my wallet anytime green shell is offered.

Blue Fifth Avenues to go with a blue seersucker outfit and blue socks.

Blue shell Freeports. I'm very happy with this shade of blue. When these boots aren't in direct sunlight, they are an amazing navy color.

Walnut Boulevards on a cloudy day.

Rain called for weatherproof tan suede Higgins.

Snuff suede Freeports at a Memorial Day bbq. The weather cooled off after the rain so I decided to wear some corduroys before I packed them up for the summer.

I continued the corduroy trend the next day with these Strand webgems.

Oxblood Strands with pants victimized by pet pair.

Macneil spectators for a belated WTW post.

I love the color on these merlot Park Avenues. I noticed Saphir had a new plum color. I'm going to try that one out on these next time they need a conditioning/cleaning.

Great collection of (recent) shoes! I always love the non-stock lace changes you make. Feel like you need to start dropping that info in your posts. Or just let me know when your next webinar will be.

Those are really looking great! They really benefited from the sun dye and brown polish, but they only seem to be getting better.

My wife would have divorced you when you let it get to 77F.

Why wife would have nothing to do with a man who has his house set under 77 degrees. Ella quieres está caliente.

You put those in the sun? They look amazing. If only I had a pair of these in 8 D. I guess I'll have to be content with my watermelon shell Strands.

 

[ProfilaBinding]

Not my listing, but this is a hell of a deal on a pair of Strands that looks like they were from around 2011-2014. Nothing a little shoe trees can't fix.

Mrs. Donkey plans to go a different route. She keeps pillows everywhere around the house. On couches. On chairs. On beds. On pretty much any surface she can. When pressed on it she has said to me, on more than one occasion, "Someday will mark the day when I cannot stand looking at your stupid Donkey head any more and I will snap. When that day comes, and it will likely come soon, I want to make sure I have a weapon by my side at all times to smother your stupid Donkey face. The last thing your stupid Donkey eyes are going to see is some classy AF batik print that will drain the stupid Donkey life out of you. And, I won't even be sorry. No court in the world would convict me based on all the stupid Donkey things you've done during these nearly 25 years of marriage. Suck on that, fool."

So, I try to keep the AC to something with a 7 as the first digit. You know, just to keep living my stupid Donkey life for one more day, at least.

I'm using today's reprieve to sport some gray Canal Court sneakers. I like them, but they run a touch long. You know, kind of like my luck so far. Temps are going to go back to something a little more normal next week, so I'll be able to spare you all the views of my stupid, pasty, Donkey legs.

All this wife talk makes me mention I am currently crossing the North Sea on a cruise as today is my 44th anniversary. A lot of people lost money on those bets. On a side note, I actually met a fellow alumni from my high school. Small world.

If I had a whole house fan I may not turn on the ac until 80 but without it gets turned on when it gets above 75, thermostat is at 73 in summer and 68 in winter.

Speaking of hot it will be low 90's today so it seemed like time for some linen.

You can run your blower fan only to meet your whole house fan requirement, but it won’t provide the air velocity a good ceiling fan would.

No I'm talking about a whole house fan, its separate from your HVAC, They pull in massive air (belt driven). Work great if you have a rancher but not as much if you have multiple stories.
