Welp! My pair of Brassvello Tankers seem to be all over the place. I think they'll do.

I agree with you - the color is all over the place, but I don’t state that to disparage or
out of jealousy - all the more reason to wear the heck out of them rather than baby them and lock them away. Enjoy them!

Indeed, thank you.

Today was mostly a bust. 4 inches of rain finally fell a few trees and power is out for 8 hours. Streams overflowed and closed many local roads. Finally ventured out after the storm passed and found a place to eat. Power should return soon. It reconfirmed my decision to get a backup generator that arrives in 2 weeks, to end a three month process.

Yeah lots of variation but those will age nicely. I personally don't mind having some variety in the panels especially on a casual model.

Dog at emergency vet clinic, seems he has an intestinal issue, no parasites, no weird disease, just an intestinal thing that causes diarrhea. 1/2 the cost of a pair of new rare shell Aldens later, we can go home......

Welcome to the madhouse!

Ha, thanks! I can already tell this is going to be dangerous.

Apologies in advance for many anticipated sizing questions as I get dialed in. Trying to avoid adding any more until I can get to a shop with a big assortment of lasts, etc to try but lots of great make-ups are making it tough.
