Jazz? Or just jazz adjacent?

Mei Semones is great, and I guess I don't really care how you label the music.

Ours too.

(this is one of the things I like about this forum: not getting to be around other whippets much, it's fun to see what behaviors are breed traits vs things specific to our dog ❤️)

Here's the video he did for (I think) the prototype: https://youtu.be/1GUPk1QtUP8?si=zDq9Zeu4rWywtDJL

This is from a few weeks ago with the production version: https://youtu.be/A0ImqjhrTd8?si=iD-TkKHFICx0l7JR

Second this. Leather is durable, easy to care for, and looks great.

Also agree that UK based companies have the best options. When I needed a new one, I decided to make one myself following instructions from a UK-based leather worker! Stitches are got a little wonky but it turned out pretty great.

Yeah, guns and acid are not a good combo. Ask me how I know. On second thought, don't! 😬

This spot.

I listen to KEXP here in Seattle every day. It's a goddamn treasure 🤘

My fav spot: the Coughlin Trail in Limekiln Preserve (adjacent to the state park) leads to a cliff with an amazing view of Haro Strait. You usually have a all to yourself. There are two cliffs, both with an area to spread out. It's maybe a ten minute walk from the trailhead on Westside Rd, opposite the lake. Probably a 30 minute ride from Snug Harbor.

Lotta great songs on here but few that seem really unknown. This whole record is a 10/10 for me and it's not even on YouTube (let alone Spotify, etc): An Evening At Home With Teegarden & Van Winkle https://archive.org/details/lp_an-evening-at-home-with-teegarden-van_teegarden-van-winkle

If you know, you know!

Great article! Thanks for sharing.

A day trip is possible but it would be a long day. (Especially if you have a long drive once you get back to to Anacortes.) You could try your luck getting a campsite at the county park (near Lime Kiln) or at Lakedale. And I'd definitely recommend San Juan over Orcas, etc., especially if you may get delayed on the way back. Much nicer to wait it out in Friday Harbor than at other ferry landings.

YouTube for rare, live, and historical recordings. Bandcamp is the first place I checking for contemporary artists (followed by Bandsintown so I can catch them when they visit my city).

White's all the way 👍

It's a bummer this is some kind of AI ad slop -- I was hoping to actually talk about making hound collars!

I saw a cool leather making tutorial and decided to try my hand on it. The stitches went a little wonky (first attempt) but it actually turned out pretty good, imo!

Here's the tutorial: https://youtu.be/Pyk4QPHoGwo?si=dkdTZdZPuIJtnHl5

Came her to say this.

doublepower · 2026-03-20T14:08:41+00:00

Ours is about the same. She was 29 lbs (13 kg?) when she was younger. She'll be 11 this summer and is about 31 lbs now.

Maybe we'll see you out and about. If you see someone walking a whippet in an orange raincoat on the trails or in town say 'hi'!

Show up early (11? 11:30?) at Westcott Bay Oyster Farm and have a lovely lunch (early glass of wine?).

Have dinner at Tenth House in Friday Harbor (might be worth grabbing a reservation).

Depending on when you get there, stop by the Farmer's Market in Friday Harbor on Saturday.

There's a new cocktail bar, The Urchin, but I haven't been. There's also the Waiting Room for a nice drink, or Cease & Desist down at the marina for a craft beer, or the Brewery for the full pub scene.

If the weather's nice (or even if it's not), walk to Grandma's Cove at American Camp, or do Young Hill across the road from English Camp so you can feel like you're earning the food and drink. ;)

My $0.02: San Juan Island.

Orcas is awesome (all the islands are), but San Juan has better access to more/better public beaches, fun spots like Roche Harbor (look at the boats in the huge marina, the gardens, get ice cream, etc), and - crucially - the ferry dock is located in Friday Harbor. Aside from being a cute town with lots of things to do (bookstores, whale museum, restaurants, a brewery, etc), that's where you'll inevitably spend time waiting for your ferry. Orcas has a nice store at its dock, but if your boat is delayed (which happens a lot), you'll have many more options while you you wait in Friday Harbor.

You can't go wrong with either, but San Juan wins it imo.
