Thanks, Lein. I ordered some driving gloves from that Mukama website. They shipped from Estonia on Thursday and just arrived today. Shipping cost 17.30 Euros. Pretty reasonable - I figured that was overpaying for something that would take weeks.

Oh man I want some of those! I might bite the bullet and pick up a pair myself. Which color did you end up with?

direct from cafe leathers website works. :tup:

madwi 07-20-2020 01:25 PM

I emailed them also and asked what customizations they can do as there is an entry field on order page for it.

Leingod 07-20-2020 01:44 PM

Ended up going with a pair of the triton marlin and roasted gloves. And a black coffee card holder.

I bumped into two older gentlemen today at the auto parts store and they asked if I was the owner of the Z outside. After saying yes, they took about 5-10 minutes out of their day to indulge me on questions about the car, what I've done to it, how I got the color, etc.

I always enjoy people enjoying the car, but for some reason it hits different when an older gentlemen is the one enjoying it. One of them had spent 25 years boring engines--I'm sure he had seen some pretty sexy cars during that time and yet he still finds a liking to mine. It never gets old! Made my day.

Both items. I have a few "snapper caps" from my grandpa, I love em and always wore them as a kid.
True story, Last girlfriend, Kat, she loves to knit. Naturally, I have a few scarfs for winter time. They are amazing for keeping wind and snow out. I love them so much I had a friend steal them from her apartment when we broke up. :rofl2:

Ain't happening. The county mandated some health care stuff, including wearing masks in stores. The store manager want me to read and sign off on paperwork saying that I understand the issues.

Did pick up hrs for this week and next week for inventory. But inventory was canceled because of the increase in cases.

If you get lucky. Maybe they will chop your legs off at the knees. If I get lucky. Maybe they will put you out of my misery.

Would that mean you will wear mask now?

In the store, if someone is around me.

During our trip. We went through 12 states. Place of businesses employees have to wear masks because of job. About 70% of the people I seen in stores didn't wear masks. The people I talked to are fed up with it. They are calling BS when they didn't saying anything to the protesters and rioters. People said that was it. Fvck them.

Weeds have been whacked and sprinkler heads can now water the lawn properly.

Fck yea! I'm going to order some powder.

We need a filter system to keep the mess down. Need to make a quick spray booth with some plastic sheeting, 2 cheapo box fans and some furnaces filters. Lots of duct tape to seal the edges. Powder coat can make a huge mess of everything if it's not contained.

I'm down to chip in and donate free labor. I have a couple ideas on how to set it up too.

I was lax before. Not anymore. Now is the time to be ever vigilant because other folks are being more stupid. I wear a mask when I go in places all the time now.

I ordered a small benchtop oven (little toaster oven) and will try out some small parts to see how it works out. :tup:

Huh? You didn't buy a brand new pickup truck so you could haul the free oven you found on craigslist? I'm confused :confused:

I'll be honest. I went ahead and ordered when I looked at the Roasted and it said there was 1 left in stock. That usually wouldn't get me.

I have them in hand now. I really like them. The feel is amazeballs. The fitting is acceptable, but they probably fit normal hands very well.

My extremities, like much of the rest of me, are oddly shaped. The medium size fits the widest part of my hand comfortably. My fat, stubby fingers are a bit snug. The wrist clasp is quite loose on me, but not annoyingly so.

Oh please, I got enough misery for everyone on the forum to be miserable. I will gladly pass it around that way everyone get's a taste.
