More Jeepery

This is not an old style Jeep, but it does have, uh, a snorkel - see if you can spot it:



Some parts pictured may be non-OEM.

British Montgomery Gentry

The Todd suggested I'd have better odds joining these country rockers than becoming British nobility.

He might be right.



Dang, that is a sad song - if the dude had knowed she was comin' back, he coulda moved or at least changed the locks or sumthin'...

Get your Woody on!

Um, you know, the wood grained Jeep Grand Wagoneer.

It seems there's an outfit in Kerrville that restores the classic body styles.

I'm kinda partial to the old Traveler series.


Where's my Zoot suit!

About three or four weeks ago, I bought these nifty brogue/wingtips at Kohl's on sale.  Since I spent quite a bit of time trying to find my size (and customer service checking other stores' inventory), I gently requested to  get the 'additional 30%' discount - which they did.

They turned out to be some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn.

Unfortunately, once I got them home, I thought the shade of tan was too light (at the time, they were all one color).  As I happened to have a jar of Burt's Bees Almond Milk and Beeswax hand creme on the desk (hey, if it's good for live skin, it oughta work on dead skin, huh?), I thought I'd darken part of the leather to see what effect might be achieved.


Now, if Jas. K. Wilson Jos. A. Bank happens to be including Zoot suits in their 70% off sale this weekend, I'm set.

'Course, for that style, I may have to look at K & G Menswear...

Click here for the jacket I would wear on my Scottish Highlands hunting estate (to which I would drive in my Morgan 3-wheeler, below).  Elbow patches, I assume, could be added by my tailor.


On the way to looking for something else

I found something else - a 2012 Morgan 3-wheeler:

If I ever become part of the British gentry, I'm getting one of these.

Two great qualities

...in life are Patience, and Wisdom - this guy has both:
