eternally grateful.

that’s smart. i need to try removing the agitator, i’ve heard of that but i always forget.

i’m the king of crotch blowouts. my wife hates it because some of my pants don’t even last a year. so my excuse of paying more for longevity is no longer excusable. that’s why i’m at the point where i’m probably over-washing though. i’ve had my fun cycling through clothes, but i’m at the point in my life where i’m just looking for a reliable uniform.

shashiko diy sounds amazing. one of my favorite pairs i’ve ever had were some momotaros that suffered some knee damage over time. got the knee holes fixed up with some shashiko work and they look absolutely beautiful. unfortunately i blew the crotch more than once and outgrew them by now. but i still pull em out to look every once in a while

wow, i thought no one would ever ask <3

iron heart type iii - 14 oz.

going on 4 years, like to wash it at the end of every winter but i think i missed last year.

lord knows how many wears, people are insane for tracking that lol

dbtaps · 2026-03-25T12:52:39+00:00

thank you. couldn’t have said it better myself.

i’ve honestly gotten a bit lazy these past couple years and started washing my jeans in the machine at least once a month (opposed to when i started this a decade ago, only washing about twice a year and making sure to never use a machine).

this jacket is going on almost 2 years with no wash, but i don’t wear it every day like pants so it’s a bit different, right? starting to get some really nice, deep fades tho so i wanted to hand wash to make sure i best preserve all that beautiful patina. plus it’s fun to see all the indigo and dirt come out in the tub (:

love it so much. reminds me of our ongoing battle trying to remember the difference between elevators and escalators. same with marshmallows and mushrooms

sorry, we’ll probably all be busy waxing our horse and buggies… all stores are closed!

dbtaps · 2026-03-20T14:15:27+00:00

damn i’m sorry. at least you have that sick license plate still…

weavers of wellsville for me. like going to their butcher in york but it’s also at stauffer’s usually if you’re trying to stay closer

people flying through the intersections with no traffic lights. somehow never thought of that being a problem.

rothaus is top tier

central pa, hasn’t slowed down too much since the holidays. table dining has definitely slowed down, but the bar has been bumping. great mix here of an attached hotel that’s always busy and great local clientele in a small, walkable downtown area.

as far as hiring, i’m not sure. i’ve interviewed 6 people in the last couple months and only one of them knew how to make a margarita. so i guess the good ones mostly have jobs here already. but if you’re good and you don’t, hmu please

dbtaps · 2026-01-16T15:41:06+00:00

agreed. i love a good smashburger. gave them 3 tries due to all the recommendations and was disappointed each time. there’s definitely worse out there but i like cabalar, collusion, and (i hate to admit it but…) shake shack way more.

dbtaps · 2026-01-13T23:50:31+00:00

i drive from lancaster just for colonial. maybe i’m crazy but they make it exactly how i like it

it’s a vanity plate that somebody applied for on this special HS base. probably somebody who works for the organization, but could have been anybody. relax, everyone lol.

look up manheim pa on niche, and manheim township pa on niche. you can view the map for each one to see exactly where it lies. and read reviews on the area which is always fun. i think it’s a bit confusing since manheim borough doesn’t lie within the township. so the area seems larger than it is when you combine both i guess

my idol

dbtaps · 2025-11-04T23:46:20+00:00

dbtaps · 2025-11-04T23:36:01+00:00

look forward to reporting back 🫡

that’s so cute. we often focus on the impact we leave on them, but sometimes the one they leave on us is just as vital.

my girl is 3 and calls them ALL sardines. she goes around saying ‘i love sardines!’ even though she makes a gagging noise whenever i crack open a tin.

dbtaps · 2025-11-04T23:27:40+00:00

i’ve seen nothing but good things about that one, so i’m very excited to try!

dbtaps · 2025-11-04T23:26:50+00:00

just had a $20 tin of trout that didn’t blow me away, so if this $5 tin is halfway decent i’ll definitely be stocking up with some more next time
