🚲 Hoping to get a bike this weekend and excited for the Summer ahead and the rides that I'll be able to do with my 9/10 year-old!

⌛ Back to tracking my time (personal, work, etc) with Toggl and I'm thankful for it. I've missed the insights gained by such a task.
📺 Starting to watch Silo.
🥡 thinking Chinese for dinner tonight.
On the verge of something, unsure if it’s going to be a good or bad thing. Maybe falling over a cliff or landing softly on a nice beach somewhere. But, coffee in the meantime. Coffee until things become a bit less foggy.
I dig it.
Quick prototype of an idea I had: a key pack to wear around your neck. Keys stay secure in the main zipper pocket, and there’s a smaller exterior pocket for a fob or air tag sized device. Just added the exterior pocket for the fob, otherwise have been using this for a week and find it useful.
🎧 Poolsuite FM in the headphones. Bulk prepping and working on some new products 😊
Death and Taxes.
Leather dye samples drying for what may become a relationship with an interior design firm…
☀️ Happy for the sun shining today!
Remember “speed dial”? Those were good times.
My take on the classic Field Notes “Pony Express” leather pouch. Easily holds 3 notebooks and even one of the field notes pens. Large nickel snap, edges left alone (not burnished smooth). Oiled and a coat of leather balm. Thick leather. This small pouch is substantial. Will age beautifully.
☁️ Cloudy but focused (trying to be).
☕ First sip. Never gets old.
📺 Have been enjoying Perry Mason on HBO lately.
Slowly shifting away from the m.b feed and to using RSS entirely. Also slowing shifting to posting to my site only with MarsEdit on my Mac. Feel like I’m getting closer to the golden age of 2007 :-)
Made a mini leather briefcase.
Pony Express…
Back in my woodworking days I used story sticks to record various notes and markings for projects I hoped to repeat over and over, making small holes with my dividers to save time in the future. I now do the same thing with my leather work, except instead of story sticks I call them Story Straps.
Latest custom leather project shipped out to my customer in the UK 🇬🇧 - a pipe case, complete with a satin lined pipe tobacco pouch and hand-carved matches in their own fancy pouch. Very happy with how everything turned out.
Pro-tip: stop reading/watching the “news” for two-weeks. At the end, if the world is still spinning, go for another few weeks, and another, and another :-)
Just found out I mixed two leather orders, one should have had the buckle the other should have had the strap loop. Will do whatever is necessary to resolve based on what each customer prefers, so no concerns from a customer service perspective, but I loath messing up like this.
Feeling clear about things at the moment, which is nice :-)
