After watching Yellowstone, I begun to find a more western / frontier / 50’s / timeless look appealing. I always enjoyed timeless cloth, like Levi’s pants and a simple t-shirt. I really fallen in love with waxed cotton jackets. They are so versatile, durable and timeless. I’m stepping away from fast fashion and embracing craftmanship clothing, going for brands that ain’t mass produced and where old school quality is in the forefront. I’m tired of clothing that only last around a year.
Luckily I found a small shop in Aahurs, that is about clothing with that focus in mind. Small batches of personally curated items from quality manufactures.
Tickets to the Australian Gran Prix in March! was most displeased to learn she’s not gonna be coming with this time around, but this one is gonna be a guys trip. The ladies will meet us in Sydney on Tuesday after the weekend.
Congratz! You’re the only person I know who spends more time in the air than me Hope you get some good seats, I remember the Grand Prix being a rapid blur of buzzing cars every five minutes
What do you do for a living that requires so much travel?
Yes our seats are very good this time around!
I love the F1 races! I have been to a few now, Belgium was first with my Dad. We got general admission tickets and sat on a hill and had to wee in the forest . Since then I have been to Spain, Italy (Monza), Monaco, China, Austria, The Netherlands, and last year I was in Abu Dhabi all with better seats, but I keep saying one of these years I want to do GA again and just find a nice hill to sit on. Sometimes the simple stuff is the best.
I can’t say for security reasons, but I can have periods where there’s little to no travel and I’m just in one country for ages, then suddenly it’s trains, boats and planes for weeks at a time, with only a few days in between assignments. Passport never gets packed away and you’re living out of suitcases and rentals for long periods like a poor man’s Agent 47 Do your employers put you in economy or do they spring for the extra leg room?
I believe I saw it at Monaco? That would’ve been a few years ago now and I’m unclear if it was Grand Prix or another hyperspeed race. I was on a hotel balcony and they zipped by like bullets, then nothing for another 5-10 minutes
No Mano. I meant the actual lay flat seats that seem to be getting smaller and smaller with each round of refreshes at all the major airlines. Turkish still has some 777s that are only 7 across, but basically everyone else has gone to 8 across so you’re kinda jammed into a little angled coffin type thing. Sure beats coach though, especially on the 15+ hour flights.
Usually in coach I toss my seat back about 1/3 of the way. For whenever reason (probably my height) a coach seat tossed all the way back usually is less comfortable than one that doesn’t recline at all.
Anything beats coach, which is a shame because that’s often where I am. Twoooo…three days ago I was middle aisle, the dead center and squished in for 14 hours. It was so narrow I had to sit with my arms folded because there was no space to put them down! It was like that parable about the people trying to eat their meals with long spoons, we practically had to feed each other because our arms were too long to reach the food I always threaten to fork out more for an upgrade, but then I remember that 6h red eye where I had a whole row to myself and I know I’d be kicking myself if I’d stumped up the doubloons for an upgrade.
We should start a travel thread, maybe or maybe not just for air travel
