Hey Connecticut, our everything hurts

Happy hump day everyone!

Took today off because its my little dudes first birthday. How has it been a year already?

 

Happy birthday to the little man, and to the parents as well!

 

Thanks Nuno!

 

Happy Birthday to your little guy sir!!! Isn't being a Dad great?

 

Thanks man!

Honestly, its the best job I have ever had.

 

well it is the best job, right now, and then they start going through the terrible twos, threes, fours, and fives lol. it is still great though. lol

 

Am I doing this right?

 

Happy first to the little one!

 

I didn't go into this thinking it would be easy. I know there will be challenges along the way. But its absolutely been the most rewarding thing ever. Hes a pretty chill kid, and my wife.. I couldn’t ask for a better partner to go through all of this with. Truly blessed.

 

This is a fabulous attitude to approach life and parenting with. And I love it when someone shows appreciation for their spouse. It shows not only love but also respect for them as a person.

 

Thanks Matt!

 

That IS fantastic...Happy Birthday to ALL and I would echo your statements! It is a great and wonderful job...No doubt you and the missus are terrific parents! Wanna adopt an old guy????
Enjoy and all the very best!

 

I think so, high heat initally and then turn it down I believe...OMG!!!

 

Okay I need some work pants recommendations, I currently have a pair of cargo carhartts that are falling apart not even a year in (belt loop broke, holes everywhere, stress marks at the knee). I would like something cargo again because the pockets are useful for keeping wire nuts or screws in, preferably something flexible enough to crawl around in but not get torn to shreds the way these have.

 

How about the double front Carhartt with the two layers?

I've got some Duluth Trading Firehose pants. I like them but I'm not somebody who uses them every day. I will say they are very comfortable. Usually I wear Liberty bibs working around the house. If I destroy them they're cheap to replace at $40.

 

Thanks man!

 

I think I went with the rugged flex and I'm not impressed, I was looking at Duluth actually

 

DuLuth pants are awesome. Pricey, but rugged and comfortable.

 

deluth makes great stuff, have some nice insulated suspenders I use in the winter for working outside I love them, so warm and rugged as well.

Patagonia makes a hemp based "work wear" line. I have their jacket, its supposed to be tougher than carhart and its about 100000 times more comfortable. I think they make pants as well, I'm sure it ain't super cheap, but I bet they'd be nice.

I've also recently been rocking ArborWear pants that are flannel lined because no one else makes them anymore, so my wife ended up finding this brand. They are legit and I really like them a lot, not a cheap pair of pants though, but I'd check them out too.

These are 100$ but with the 20% off discount going on, 80$ so same as patagonia...

 

Birthday Wishes for the young man!
