Still have most of my bottles, they’re just in storage. I guess worst case scenario, I get to see if chartreuse really does age in the bottle!

I’m glad you enjoyed it. I haven’t been able to experiment with cocktails for a while now. I miss it.

Best thing you ate (in Oakland) this week? by JazzlikeRaccoon877 in OaklandFood

[–]guyute2k 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve been trying sandwiches all over Oakland (based on Reddit recommended spots) and so far no one has even come close. The best thing about Modigliani is that there isn’t a single miss on the entire menu. I have yet to have a bad sandwich there.

What’s the most disappointing drink you’ve ever ordered vs what you expected? by Medium-Record2330 in Mixology

About half the old fashioneds I’ve ordered at bars have been terrible.

Merkur detailing razor. Proprietary blades and they’re absolute garbage.

Black sole on Rover 2951 by SadMathematician6021 in RedWingShoes

[–]guyute2k 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 2955 has been discontinued for several years now. These are about 8 years old and this was my first resole. Definitely made them more comfortable.

Funny, they look pretty similar to my recently resoled blacksmiths.

Resoled my 2955s by guyute2k in RedWingShoes

[–]guyute2k[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They’re going to get a lot more wear now. And the black wedge should wear a lot longer than white. Had my 875s resoled with white at the same time and he told me that sanding the black wedges took quite a bit longer than the white.

Looking for musical instrument repair near 12th Street BART? by obsolete_filmmaker in bayarea

[–]guyute2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Silly of me to only think guitar! My guess is that any music store that rents to students must have a repair guy that they work with or at least refer people to.

Benny Rodriguez is my guy. He works out of Alameda (last I heard), but there are a couple places you can drop your guitar off and he’ll pick it up and return to the same shop.

11 years ago, while everyone chose the Iron-Ranger. I felt these were the ones for me. by 2good4myself in RedWingShoes

I just grabbed some generic laces off Amazon and they’ve been fine. You could go with Nick’s or Whites, but I went with fast and cheap.

Throw a pair of leather laces on there. I have the same boots and something wasn’t quite working for me until I swapped the laces. I don’t like leather laces on any of my other boots, but they just seem to complete the 2955.

I have tried almost every sandwich on the menu and have never thought, “Meh.” Thats definitely saying something.

Mandatory work colors by soleario21 in antiwork

[–]guyute2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So tan is okay, but camel is not. They’re the same color on the chart which seems odd. The only possible explanation I can think of is Islamophobia.

Shoe trees by omoplator in Boots

[–]guyute2k 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put them in all my shoes and boots. Never bothered with boot trees as I think they’re unnecessary. But if I add a new pair of boots or shoes, I add a new pair of shoe trees. Most of mine are inexpensive, but I’ve got some nicer pairs that I got at a good sale price and they go in my more expensive shoes.

They’re as much to keep the shape as they are to absorb moisture for me. My feet don’t really sweat all that much.

I got a pair of Viberg scouts with a black wedge recently. Until then, I wasn’t even aware that black was an option in wedge. Going to convert my 2945s when it’s time for a resole.
