Random conversations

@Tago-Mago It's a curse of mine...I can remember a lot of things, bits of conversations, faces, etc. Horrible time remembering names though.
This one is from a public discussion a while back and on the forum if you know where to look.

@Tago-Mago ...who's saying it isn't?

I’m afraid my onlyfans would be onlyme. I’ll be going back to insurance claims handling personal property and additional living expenses. It’s not a dream job by any stretch but it will pay the bills and then some. I’m good at it and I will be able to work from home plus I’ll have weekends off as opposed to the barbering gig. And I won’t have to touch anyone’s dirty hair. Unless I want to.

In a totally rare, and not common for me at all, instance of foolishness and ignorance, I forgot to put a belt on this morning. This never happens and still befuddles me. However, I can confidently say, that thanks to the magnificence of the 888 cut, I run practically zero risk of mooning my colleagues. Thanks IH.

@WhiskeySandwich I often don't wear a belt with my 888s...so nice to not worry about showing my students my much lower quality undies when I bend down to work with them...
I do prefer how the cut fits when held in proper place with a belt, however.

@Mizmazzle thats the great thing about a snug fitting pair of 888s is they dont go anywhere, even without a belt. I guess, being the first time i forgot one, i'm finding out its totally unnecessary lol more of an accessory at this point.
-
@WhiskeySandwich for sure dude! I do find that once the jeans get really broken in they still come down just a touch (Never to the point of even being close to a plumbers crack mind you)...making the thigh and ass a little baggy looking. So if I wear a belt and keep them at their absolute highest point, the ass looks better...haha....thats the case with my XHS anyways....my 888D seem to be more rigid and a bit slimmer overall anyways....never wear a belt with those.

@Mizmazzle i guess i wear my 888s a little low for what they're 'supposed' to be, but the waist seems to be stretched as far as it'll ever go and is just as tight as how i set my belt. i dont like my 888s pulled up to the max, if we're getting anatomical - the waist stays at L5-S1, whether sitting or standing, which is ideal imo. i get a hint of buttsag when standing, but when sitting, everything works perfectly. I went on about this a while back in regards to combined rise. The spot that the 888 rests on the hips is right on the money for full coverage, and i never pull mine up to the belly-button like i guess you could if you're into wedgies. Always thought it was weird to pull pants up over my underwear waistline, so i dont, but the extra room in the combined rise is for sitting, just like the extra room in your knee measurement is for bending.

Here you go @SKT Shop pic 1962. This is the second shop. First one burnt down in 1902. This new shop was up and running by Dec. 1902.
Me with little wagon made for Ray in 1915 at the shop 1995. Second pic is at the Gruber wagon works
Nest one is the oldest made by John around 1850. Second pic is also at the Gruber wagon works. This wagon is older then Grubers.
Next is the 1891 wagon made by Willaim H R
Two more wagons made by our family Wheelwright shop from 1765 - 1929,
They made about 40 wagons a year, Also made anything from wood beside wagons. Made lots of wheels sold to different wagons makers. -
@twin thanks for posting this! I really enjoy seeing the craftsmanship and history. I’m guessing your family’s wagons were used by many over a huge area at some point. Great stuff. With your knowledge of your family history, do you know when your ancestors came over to the states and from where? I may start a genealogy thread sometime and see if anyone else is interested in this stuff.
that's all the advice I need
