I see a diesel swap in the near future.
You did such a nice job! Your stitches are very clean and that boot flip looks crisp. I bet that machine stitched right through that faux fur without issue, too. Did you free hand the pattern?
Thank you! The toe is a little small proportionally. Used another stocking we had as a rough guide, but yeah, all cuts and stitches free hand.
I would love to learn how to sew. I used to sew on my grandmothers machine when I was a little kid. She stood over me and loaded the thread, bobbin, etc and made sure I didn’t sew my little fingers into the cloth. It was fun and it is a handy skill to have at your disposal.
Want to make a few bucks, Johnny? Sew me up a dog bed out of denim or any other heavy, durable fabric. Basically just a giant pillowcase with either a heavy duty zipper or HD Velcro to hold the open end closed. I’ll open it up, stuff it with cedar shavings and zip it closed. I’ll provide the dimensions (warning...it’ll need to be pretty damn big). You’ve seen my dog!

Send me the fabric and dimensions, and I'll make it at some point in January.
Sign up for JoAnn's email, they send out deals like nobody's business. 70% off one item about once or twice a week. I outfitted Buster for next to nothing. Love the machine, it looks too new though.
WTF is that Haddock from? The "wild caught" one is $17 for 2 lb pack! I get talapia (styrofoam), marinate the crap out of it and call it haddock.
Wild Caught Haddock, FAMILY PACK - Wegmans

Ha! Whatever floats your boat (or fills it with fish). I'm operating on the assumption that Wegmans isn't lying to me when they say it's fresh/never frozen. And it looks damn good ($30/lb), as does the whole fish. Shrimp, for damn sure, are always frozen then thawed before sale (at the "fresh counter") pretty much everywhere. Save your money and buy the frozen then thaw them. Fish are a different story at the good places. Their fish prices are insane at times but the quality and variety is awesome. But hell, maybe I'm paying a $13/lb premium for them to have thawed it and cut it into beautifully uniform pieces.
It incentivizes you to eat less!!
Less sides, maybe. They want $12 for 5 servings of mashed potatoes or green beans. I'll pay for a main that is healthy. Their red meat is definitely considered 'portion control'-priced tho. Except for the lamb. And lamb is good.
Bah! Humbug! Give the old man some man food, beef! Fish is for white chicks. This the Wegmans on I-95 near Woodbridge? Thats a nice one, I used to hit it every Sunday or Monday morning during my weekly traversing to DC duty, stock up on overprice food.
‘Tis the season
Now that I’ve been indoctrinated to the Tercel 4WD crowd. This came up:
